Four More Years

I feel like I can breathe a sign of relief.  It appears that the President was reelected as Commander in Chief for four more years.  It's not that I thought that Mitt Romney would be a horrible president, I didn't.  I just really wanted Obama to have a decent chance.  It didn't take us four years to get into mess so it certainly wasn't going to take fours years to get out of it.  Add to that, I really didn't want to further a Republican party that is just getting more extreme.  I really didn't want a Republican candidate to win after all of the party's comments regarding gay marriage, women's rights, and immigration.  Though I don't know if it will do any good, I feel like this election may show just how important it is to appeal to someone other than a white male and that you can't just alienate entire populations of people and expect to win elections.  Had Romney not gone so far to the right trying to win the primary, I personally feel he might have had a better chance at winning the election.

Of course, there are the obvious, "I'm moving to Canada" remarks on Facebook which I just find humorous. These people are unhappy that a liberal, leftist politician was reelected and things like universal healthcare, governmental support for those encountering hard times, more gun control, etc. will stand.  Yet they are proclaiming to relocate to a country where all of that already exists.  I can't help but find that humorous.  I mean, there were many democrats who made similar statements but many of those were a result of not liking actions like the war which Canada did not partake in the same way.  So yeah.   With all that, the reelected president has finally come on stage and I want to hear this.

Happy Election Day everyone!
