This is our time, this is our fight.

As it has been revealed since yesterday evening, Senator Barack Obama has made it to the nominations of becoming the possible next President of the United States. I've been reading the comments ranging from pure pride and joy to the bitching and bitterness from all sides, but on a personal note I am definitely overjoyed with this result and hopefully, after everything has settled down over who we wanted as the democratic nominee, we can focus on what's really important here, and that's which person, Obama or McCain, is a better representative in this presidential race to become leader of this entire nation.

I don't normally discuss politics here for various reasons, but this is such an important thing that it would be ridiculous not to announce it, even though I'm sure everyone's heard about it already anyway.

Also I'm choosing not to get further involved with the Jared rumors other than what I've been hearing because that is their personal life and they should do whatever they choose to without fans hovering over their every little move they make. Privacy, I respect it and so should other fans. But hey, that's just my opinion.

I preferred Hilary to get the nomination because I don't think Barack has the necessary experience being a politician as she does. If he was running in 2012 with more under his belt, I would have been more inclined to support him, but I'll ultimately still support him since he does sure more of my leanings than McCain does.

I get so excited when I read about tidbits my favorite famous people, but there is that line that shouldn't be crossed. So unless Jared and Sandy announce it themselves, everyone should leave them alone. But that's common sense and people lack it.

My main concern are those who feel like they have to support McCain because Hillary didn't win, or people were so tired of the Clinton versus Obama thing that they were going to vote for the "other man". It's disheartening, IMO. I understand people's concerns over lack of experience, but for me Obama seems more like someone I would like to get behind than Clinton, who bugged me quite a bit over the course of this election. Eh well, I'm just happy with the outcome and that we're moving forward.

*nods* Yeah, I'd rather not be a vulture like the paparazzi who feel the need to photograph/get information over every little detail. But unfortunately sometimes fandom doesn't understand the words "common sense", henceforth the wank that ensues. :/
