Condolences to Barack Obama on the passing of his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, in Hawaii.

It's sad that she cannot witness his success in winning the presidential race tomorrow. (I am an optimist.)

That's so sad.

I don't think you are an optimist, I think you are a realist, well at least I hope you are

Thanks.

My country has ways of surprizing us, unfortunately. But I am hoping (2) that his race will not be a factor when people vote and (2) that honesty will prevail at the polls. There are rumors that some members of the opposite party will try to fix the machines to vote for their candidate. Also, just recently, there was an advertising on Facebook, no less, telling people that Republicans are to vote on Tuesday and Democrats are to vote on Wednesday.

That's dreadful. Hopefully America is ready to elect it's first black President. I like him and belive he will be good. If he doesn't win, I hate to think what it means for us all (we seem to be almostas affected by your president as you are) God forbid the Republicans get back in and he dies. If she doesn't even know who the Hell she is talking to on the phone there's no hope

OMG, the idea of HER as a president is enough to make me gringe.

[benobsessed.livejournal.com]

Definately. It's game over if ever she gets her hands on the White House. And I thought George W was bad.... he's not even in the same ball park as she is

The sad thing is that she makes W look like a genius. I never thought that I would say that. Moreover, there is so much controversy surrounding her, from the possibility that the Down Syndrome child was not hers to the fact that her husband wanted to suceded from the United States and make Alaska an independent country and the fact that she makes women who were raped pay for their own rape kits. She is bad news.

I heard about them telling Dems to vote Weds. Assholes!

So, 2 and 2, yeah? ;)

That is such sad news. I too wish she could have lived to see his election.

Obama in 2012!

[spicedogs.livejournal.com]

Yes, let it be him from 2009—20016

(I love your icon.)

[shantih.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I'm tempted to emulate this person.

(The icon is from a set that was posted on the BPAL forum a few years ago to correspond with different scents. There is a thread full of icons like it here but you'll have to be logged into the forum to see it.)

Thanks for the flickr link. I love that idea. So optomistic. We need the return of optimish in our country.

I just joined. I might as well. I do like some of the scents.

So sad.
