Funny feeling...

Does anyone have this weird sense of relief now that the election is over, whether you supported obama, mccain or couldnt be bothered to bother

Just a few weeks ago the politics board was full of partisan arguments, accusations of racism, “obama is a socialist,” “palin is an idiot” etc and suddenly everything is calm now

Answer #1

Oh great. With the stuff about the Obama birth cert the partisanship is going to come back again

Answer #2

I am glad the election was definitive. I would have hated a 2000 fiasco where the election was ultimately decided by political maneuvering and the courts. If McCain won I would have wanted him to have won decisively as well.

I do notice that there is a lot more press about Obama now than any transition I can remember. I can’t remember this many news stories about every appointment previous president-elects made. I do hope that this newfound interest in politics stays with us. A few years ago I ran into people who didn’t know who the vice president or the secretary of state were; now everyone knows Obama’s picks.

Answer #3

Yeah, it’s a nice Lull, lots of promises made and we were told everyone will instantly Love us, so we’ll get ‘Change’.

Answer #4

YES!! It is a relief…not to mention the commercials are GONE…:)
