He’s got a shit year, or two, or four ahead of him. If he can’t wave a wand and make it all better, they’ll ravage him in 2012. Possibly those who love him most right now are the ones who will feel most betrayed if he hasn’t fixed everything by January 21st.
He’s not a magic bullet. He’s not going to save us all or anything. But today he made me proud of my country. He made me care enough to be part of the process for the first time.

I was so relieved when I got the news. Everyone at my campus (in Vancouver, Canada) was celebrating. And there were a few tears of joy from Canadians as well.
This is the first time in a long time that it didn’t feel like I was throwing my vote away. I think this must be the first election ‘high’ I’ve ever had…
ha ha, you’re queer.
