I was very surprised to hear from my best friend today that she voted for John McCain. As a lifelong Democrat, I feel strongly about my points of view including topics such as gay marriage and abortion.
I feel like this election has split friends and family down the middle. I know many people who do not even speak anymore due to difference of opinion.
As an Obama supporter, no matter the outcome of the election, I hope that we can come together as a country to solve our nation's problems. I do not think that it is possible for one person to change the world. However, I do believe that the people of this country are strong enough to pull together and walk across party lines to help solve the each crisis that the United States has on its shoulders.
Right now it looks like Obama will be our winner.
I have heard many people mention that Obama will probably be assassinated shortly after inauguration. I really hope that our country has moved on since the times of assassination, since the times of JFK and Martin Luther King Jr. Our nation must accept that it is time for a change, and it is time for the our country to reclaim its status in the universe.
