I totally think Diddy is hilariously self-important but! I think most people feel that way about it. Yeah, statistically my one little vote didn’t do a whole lot in the federal election since my county always leans Democrat. But man, when they said Ohio went blue…I was really proud because I was a part of that. And I was really proud that my measly little $5 donation helped get him elected.

So I think his comment is more indicative of the empowering nature of elections than his naturally pompous self. This election is incredibly historic and, whether or not you agree with all of Obama’s views, his mere presence in the White House is so important for all the kids growing up today. Now you can look at kids and when you say, “You can grow up to be anything you want,” you can actually mean it because look! A guy named Barack Hussein Obama is the president. And for a country led by Bills, Johns, and Georges, getting a guy with that name into the White House is a pretty big deal!

I am so happy that he won. I was sitting here last night at 11 pm and my friend sent me a text exclaiming Obama Won! I kind of froze and stared at the monitor before I ran downstairs and turned the television on. Sure enough there were screams from his supporters and the large text of Obama’s win.

I’m just beyond words at how happy I am that he won. America spoke and the majority say we need a change and that is what we’ve just elected.

Strangely, not in the least interested in hearing what celebs have to say today. I’ve read far more moving and profound comments about what this win means on threads here from CB posters. Since non-celebs way outnumber celebs, today belongs to you people, it’s YOUR victory, YOU did it, and you deserve all the credit for it. Go bathe in that spotlight!

Let the celebs take a back seat for one day.

I took creative license with Buffalo Springfield’s Classic ‘For What it’s Worth’ for you all:

There’s something happening here
What it is, is exactly clear
There’s a man with hope over there
Telling me I got reason to care
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

There’s lines of progress being drawn
Everyone’s tight and never as strong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting no more resistance from behind
I think it’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

What a field-day from the heat
A thousand people in main street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our pride
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step in line, and vote for a change

We better stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, now, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
