I am happy that Obama was voted President, I truly am. I think it shows a lot about America's ever-changing communities and I think that between Obama and McCain, the best man most deifinitely won. Well, the best candidate, I don't know either of them personally, who am I to judge?
I have many issues with the way Sarah Palin has been treated. Initially, I too poked fun at her, and still stand by my opinion that as a politician, she's... shall we say not the greatest. However, I am outraged at her treatment, she has been mentally abused, and it's a disgrace. Through all of the harmless joking (SNL for example), there have been real issues. For example, the Crank call. In the UK recently there has been an issue where to radio presenters called elderly comedian, Andrew Sachs, and discussed the fact that one of them had slept with his grand-daughter. I'm not saying I agree with this, but why are we not allowed to broadcast that, and yet the unjustified international humiliation of a vice-presidential candidate is applauded?
I am also disgusted with the passing of Proposition 8 in California. President Obama's election is a victory, and not just for him or for all Democrats. It shouts out to a whole race of people. When teamed with the passing of Proposition 8, the only thing I hear, is 'from one prejudice to another...'
