Compared to how much I love him, you hate him...

I have fallen in love with President Obama. Oh - not the silly love I had yesterday with Phillippe Cousteau (shut up - it was deep and it had meaning and why are you always criticizing me, imaginary Internet people?!). I just cried as I read through things at Change.gov. I posted my own story. I shared my opinions. I felt like I had a democracy that responds to me. I want to savor the moments until FOX news gets the crazies so wound up that this beautiful era of hope comes crashing down.

For today, I want to rejoice in the vote I cast and the promise that America can be great again and to everyone who is listening to too much FOX news, I quote Obama in his acceptance speech:

"[T]o those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too."

For the first time in generations, I feel like I have a president of the United States.
