Barak Obama is President!!!!

My reaction to the outcome of this election is complicated. I am both frightened and angry, but I am also relieved. I am frightened and angry because I don't know what the future will hold for my family and I. I wonder how President Obama will change our country. I think he is an evil man and I am afraid of the choices that he will make. He can either raise our country from the deepest pit of political darkness that President Bush dug for us and threw us in, or he can dig us deeper into that pit and watch us, laughing, as we struggle to find a way out. But I am also a wee bit relieved that McCain did not win, because I think that McCain is more evil than Obama and I don't want our country to be dug deeper and deeper into that hole, so deep in fact, that it would be nearly impossible to dig ourselves out. I heard someone mention how, way more people have put so much of their faith into Obama and the government in this election than any election for about a hundred years. Well, those people call that faith, I call it ignorance. Not to be disrespectful, but I have lost all faith that I once had in our government. All of my trust disappeared after 9/11. All of it is gone and it will be hard to replace it. Really hard. I fear for the worst and I hope that I can still follow the dreams I had for my future. I hope that there is still hope for my generation, for my future, for my sisters' and brothers' futures. I hope that there is still HOPE. I don't like being so pessemistic, but I don't really see any thing to be optomistic about in the future of this country.
