I just feel, like so totally amazed that a black man can be president! (Did I mention that I'm so not racist! In fact, my Obama button is pretty much proof. So even though the main reason I'm so excited about today is totally based on race, still, somehow, that makes me not a racist.)
And what's more, it's cool to wave an American flag! I have a little one on my desk here at Greenpeace, and I'm proud of it because somehow it all means something different than it ever did before. I have to admit, it still feels weird, after being so repulsed by it all these years, but I like it!
I'm just so excited for the hope and change! Then I can be liberated to follow rainbows and make my dreams come true! And the government can provide for me, just like a mother does for her children!

I am noticing an amazing surge of American Flag lapel pins on people, especially African-Americans and liberals. I wish I had the opportunity to rip them off and shove them down their throats. Imagine where this country would be today, if they had shown this kind of support and patriotism for this COUNTRY not just a man, in the last eight years.
