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.
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.

Go America! You deserve this, after Bush.
