I need to say that I have been quite prolific writing on my home blog, electricedge.com/zoe, but less so here. Despite my Carpal Tunnel flaring up [both hands] I have been getting the word out via email and my blog and whomever I run into or speak to, but it still isn't enough if we become complacent and not vote.
My concerns in my earlier post were addressed most clearly by the 1/2 hour ad that I saw, and it is clear that Barack's intentions are aligned with my hopes, but I guess reality may derail actions and priorities, but I so hope that getting us out of Iraq and Afghanistan and subsequent shutting down the excess of bases where our troops currently are is one of his first acts as President...
but I still am not counting those proverbial chickens before they hatch... I can't imagine that "dirty tricks" have stopped from the Republican side yet.
I am still yelling at my TV, but at shows where people seem to be "conceding" that Barack won -- this is not a truth yet!
And, while the campaign is firing up, Bush is doing scary things that fall below the radar, with missile strikes, and "phase II" of the Bush Doctrine, so we can't sleep or take our "eyes off the road".
I am so very excited about the potential -- kind of like xmas eve for the past 10 days, waiting to hear the words I long for, that Barack Obama won!
..but this is such a hard time, and a country full of mounting horrors to inherit, that I sincerely hope that politicians truly set aside party and ego, to see the scary path we're on, and unites and stands with Obama to get things done with incredible speed.
If my xmas morning feeling is going to come to fruition, there need to be a shift in attitude and partisanship.
Dare to dream?##
