Politics and Vodka,

At the end of this election I've seen a lot of things happen that didn't surprised me. It did not surprise me that Obama won and it did not Surprise me that the democrats cheered with a bit of smug satisfaction while many republicans treated it as the doom of the country.

Naturally both sides will never agree on whether this election has turned out good or not. The Bush years are over whether you like that or not. And as much change as Obama will try to bring, the world is going to move at the same pace it always has. A leader can inspire you with his words, but what weight those words carry are detirmined in hindsight by the validity and consequences of his actions. Our government can shape our day to day lives, but how much of that do we really want?

I love my country, and I will continue to believe in our country the same way i did when Bush was elected, and the same way I did when Clinton was in office before him.

I was inspired by an old friend of mine who wrote in her facebook blog about how she hated the division between people after the results, and I absolutely agree. Even those who don't like Obama should rally behind him and participate in the system because in truth, thats the only way our system works.

Thanks to everyone who voted, and lets put forth our best efforts to be Optimistic about the future.

And more importantly, Lets all have a drink.
