A new day is upon us and I could not be any happier. A much needed change has swept this country and the result is President-Elect Obama. I admit I had goosebumps when darkened my ovals in the voting booth. As I waited to cast my ballot in the machine, I really had tears in my eyes. Not since, my first presidential election way back in 1972 have I felt so full of promise and truly inspired with hope for the future.
With the election over, I also experienced a general sense of relief from all those ads that seemed to permeate television and radio for what seems like years. I think there should be a specific time limit for all campaigning. Maybe a month before a primary and then not until after the political conventions. Local candidates for office may have one ad per day from primary to election day. Do you know what I'm saying?
The only thing that disappoints me is the space is already filling-up with holiday commercials. If you know me, you have heard my tirade on the Christmas season starting right after Halloween. Geez,Louise- it is irritating. Until next time...
