thats how my mom put it too.. but she is more of a republican. she believes in the tax cuts they propose and not how obama wants to take her money when she was the one who worked hard in college to get the job she has now.
my dad and i both voted democrat. i won't get into the issues any more than saying i don't see the problem in taxing the rich. over 200k a year? i know my parents could afford a few thousand more in taxes..
i said this to one of my friends today, who is a hardcore republican; I don't see why the republicans get all up in arms over it, if mccain had won doubt the democrats would throw a temper tantrum like this.
i know i for one would not. if mccain had won i would have been a little disappointed, but not in hysterics over how the apocalypse is coming to america now.
the last thing, being black myself, i really don't think that black people in general feel "empowered" by this, or that they will riot over it. quite the contrary, in that the white people and many of the old fashioned people will be over the edge with emotions that a black man now runs their beloved country.
