Congrats on getting it right, Americans

...and after those last 8 years too. Must be quite the cognitive dissonance.

I think I'll resist posting, but I have to comment on the total contrast of the reactions on my flist compared to the previous election. It was so overwhelmingly miserable last time and it's so ecstatic now. Hopefully Obama will live up to this euphoria. But he's young, he's got the energy and the right ideas, so I'm certain it will work out.

Go America! You deserve this, after Bush.

Yeah, I'm trying to be very realistic. He doesn't have to be perfect. He just has to try. So much better than Bush already.

No politician is ever perfect and I think he's got a hell of a lot of work ahead of him, there's almost a decade of Bush's bullshit that needs to be turned around. Scars don't heal that easily.

Personally, I think the euphoria is a little over-optimistic. It is a step in the right direction, but it's not a cure-all to the US' troubles.
