I voted : in 3 parts
• Early voting (often and much) has been completed here in Nashville. As one who doesn’t really care for the unwashed lazy crowds of regular-day voters, I opted to cast my vote early.
Because the democratic system (and the soapbox that sometimes is my blog) allows people of all interests and opinions to be heard I will say this1: It’s time the US began communicating like an adult with its own people AND the outside world, as well as start acting like a country who uses our brain and thinks bigger than our ego/military muscle. It’s time for a new perspective — maybe he has enough experience, maybe not. But I’m willing to give Barack a chance2.
•Had my nephew or his friend been running, I would have considered voting for either one of them.
• I cast my ballot inverse to my wife’s ballot and we have effectively canceled each other out.

2. Let me just point out one last thing, Obama is not the savior. He will not magically make everything better. You will all not be healthier, stronger and able to perform quadratic equations in your head. No pill or politician can help cure your ills — if you’re stupid, go back to school; if you’re sick, go to the doctor; if you’re looking for a president who calls the sun and the moon into action every day–it’s just not going to happen.
