Change is coming...

I went out and voted on Tuesday. I was so excited. I woke up extra early in anticipation that the lines would be long. Luckily, I didn't have to wait. I went into the polling place knowing that I was voting for a change. Yes that change is coming. America as a whole recognized that America was headed in the wrong direction and helped elect a Democrat-majority in the House of Representatives since 1994. To might delight yesterday word came that Democrats had won control of the Senate, also. It was news to my ears. I was wondering when America was going to wake up and see that we needed change. Looks like our President is even getting a hint since now Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield has resigned. His resignation was a long time coming. Now we have to see if the Democrats will live up to America's expectations. I hope they don't get in there and act a fool, because if they do they will find themselves back in the minority come 2008.

Speaking of 2008, it looks like we won't even get a break from politics since everyone now is focused on the presidential election of 2008. I know who my dream team is. Barrack Obama and John Edwards. I think that combination would be great. I would be rooting hard for those two. I am just hoping that at least one of them are the presidential candidate. It's a long ways away though. I am going to sit back and just relax and enjoy the Democratic majority in the senate and house. I hope the democrats stick to there plan of raising minimum wage and cutting the interest rate on student loans. I think they will get it done. At least I have faith in them.

I have one theory on why Ken Blackwell lost the gubernatorial race in Ohio. Its because of his race! Yes, I typed it. The Republican majority that exists in Ohio doesn't want a Black guy as the head of their party. I don't care what anyone says, there is a lot of racism that exists in Ohio and I truly believe that is one of the main reasons Ken Blackwell lost. If you compare the percentage points that Blackwell lost by to other Republicans in statewide races you will see that no other one lost as badly. Just something for you all to think about.

I hear that in Michigan they banned affirmative action when it comes to getting into public universities. I was surprised to read this. I think one of the common misconceptions of affirmative action is that it only works for black people. That is not the case though. Affirmative action is for any minority. (Black, Asian, Hispanic and even women) we all know that there is a lot of hidden racism in this country. Whether you want to admit it or not I know that you know. Well that's all for now. I am America's Nightmare...
