Whether you love him, hate him or just feel apathetic towards him, Obama just became our nations first African American president.

Even though I did not vote for him (although my Dad likes to point out that he did), I want to congratulate the O-team for a successful victory, and encourage everyone–regardless of how you feel about Obama–to work together to help rebuild our nation.

While I will not agree on everything Obama does (regarding his tax plan, foreign policy, etc.), I will not turn into a wingnut/moonbat over him becoming President (something that occurred when Bush reigned).

So for the future, let us set aside our differences (which are many) and work to rebuild our country. After all, we are all Americans, and to paraphrase what one man once said, lets put our country first.

Basically my view of Sarah Palin's Rally in NC.

Things I loved about the event:
• Palin wants to balance the budget (first that I've heard of any candidate)
• Street entertainment
Things I hated:
• Ignorant voters (on both sides)
• Country music

It looks like Sarah Palin will be visiting North Carolina at a rally in Asheville!

A few of my friends (and family) are dragging me along (or is it the other way around?) in order to hear her speak.

Since I lean libertarian, I will probably enjoy hearing what she has to say. I’ll be twittering my responses as she speaks (provided I can get a signal inside the building), and will upload photos to Facebook later on.

I would consider blogging my reactions (since I could add images), although the iPhone is sorely lacking in the “energy department.”

Perhaps its time I invested in a Mophie.
