The ending of an election year..

I am so thankful that all of this mudslinging and debating has finally come to an end. I am still not knowing what to think about this election year. I was a bit disappointed that McCain did not win the election but I am happy for those who supported Obama. What irritates me the most is probably the liberal media. I was watching MSNBC last night as Chris Matthews was expressing how he believes that those with "higher education" probably supported/voted for Obama. I really resent that remark simply because I believe myself to be a very intelligent and well-spoken person who leaned in the direction of McCain over Obama. I just find it ironic how Chris Matthews made that comment when Obama spoke specifically to the lower economic class in his speeches which are the ones who are stereotyped for having lower education. I find that many people who didn't really know a whole lot about Obama focused in on the fact that he is new, fresh, African-American, wanting change but didn't really look at how he would deal with terrorist activity or the military in difficult crisis. I have had a hard time following exactly what Obama stands for because I feel like he doesn't want to offend anyone along the way. I honestly think that what hurt McCain the most was the fact that he had an inexperienced running mate that didn't really compliment what he wanted to do with his campaign. I also find it interesting how McCain supposedly made "unfair attacks" on Obama when pretty much every news network except for Fox News was making low blows for the Obama campaign. You have people like Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and other anchors spewing out awful things in the media and Obama just sits pretty and isn't blamed for anything. Much of this is simply my political venting over this election. I am hoping and praying that Obama is prepared to move us in a brand new direction that will help America to have a bright future. I'm not going to do anything like move to Canada or do anything drastic. I still think we are the best country on the planet and I am proud to be an American. I just trust that whoever is elected president will lead our country in the best way possible.
