The Sky is Falling

So the election came and went.  There was elation all over the world, and honestly I couldn't get that smile off my face when I got home from work to find out that President Obama had been reelected.  The flip side of that is that there were quite a few people who were furious about the results.  Some were idiots like Donald Trump.  Others were more respectful like Mitt Romney himself.  The phrase that I heard from some was that "the sky was falling."  It find it funny that there was this bleak picture painted by some of the richest people in the country.  They won't feel any effect from this election.  They will still be rich.  But I really don't want to get into that too much.  Truthfully I don't enjoy talking about politics.  Talking politics is the only thing that can make me dislike someone.  It becomes so personal.  So I won't go that route.  That negative attitude is so unnecessary right now though.  People are out here struggling and some act like things were supposed to change in four years.  They forget that it took eight years to dig that hole.  It's unrealistic to expect things to be fixed in four.  Never mind the collapse of the economy that happened when The President first got into office.  That stabilized, but people were so unwilling to work with him that he didn't really get anything else done.  I've always been cynical about the government, but voting is something that I have to do.  I hear my own father say the reason that he votes is because so many people died just for that right.  To make it even worse, the first black president won't even visit the state.  I'll touch on that at a later date.  I stayed up until 2A.M. waiting for him to make his victory speech.  We all had high hopes for him, realistic or not.  He was given a second chance to prove that he wasn't just empty promises four years ago.  He was fired up delivering his speech.  I hope realizes what's truly at stake here.  The sky isn't falling though.
