Epic Fail?!


-after the presidential results came in-
Chuck: EPIC FAIL
Natalie: i didnt vote.
Chuck: WTF Get out of here!
Natalie: "i didnt vote because i didnt want my name
going down in the history books as contributing to our countries EPIC FAIL"


so in this year, 2008, we have made history... a black president! who would have thunk it?! prior to our now President Elect Barack Obama running i always said, if we are going to have a black president, i want him the be something like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. because then we really will have change in this nation. I was relatively impartial during this years presidential elections, thats why i didnt vote. i did want to see mccain as president, but im not disappointed that he lost. with that being said i have mixed emotions when i think of our new President Elect.

i am excited and proud that our country is finally, in sarah palins words, "cool". we have abolished the color barrier on capital hill and thats amazing... but im very worried because Mr. Obama has made many promises to our voters, new and returning. promises that built the platform on which he now stands. i really hope that he will not go back on his words and disappoint all these people who have instilled so much trust in his words.

with much disappointment, proposition 8 is slowly loosing fire and by a slim margin, it appears we have lost this battle. as of 11:21am today, with 95.4% of californias precincts reported... its 52% yes and 48% no. im left with a sinking feeling in my stomach. in this day and age where we can accept a african american president, we can not accept the idea that marriage is for LOVERS, not just heteros? sad.. extremely sad. im most disappointed with los angeles county. 100% of the la county precincts reported and the margin was rediculously narrow. yes 50.4% and no 49.6%. i cant express how truly disappointed i am.


i can only wish that we fight for this cause and continue fighting.


OBAMANATION .... this should be interestion
