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.

There's a silver lining to every cloud. And by that I mean I'm glad to see people happy about Obama who don't, in the same breath bitch about Clinton not conceding soon enough. Or about her shrill voice. Or about how a woman president would make the country less safe for terrorists.

I was just reading Jezebel and the media round-up they had going was disheartening to say the least. Amusingly, the Clinton/Obama rivalry has gotten so big that one wonders if now we'll have to talk *gasp* actual issues rather than alleged racist/sexist comments and what wearing pantsuits/a lapel pin (or the absence of it!) might mean.

To be honest, I don't blame you for not wanting to get into politics on your LJ. I used to, but I lost steam more than anything else. Maybe that's why most politico commentators on TV are a little wacky in the head?
