I excitedly called handfuls of friends when Obama won my old home swing state of Ohio. By the time he won my new swing state of Nevada, there was no way for him not to win the election. Still, when he was officially elected, I cried. I also cried during his acceptance speech and at a simple picture of him with the words "Mr. President" below it. I was a strong Obama supporter from way back, but I didn't think I'd be this emotional about his election. I feel relieved. Excited. Hopeful.
The only rain on this amazing parade is that Proposition 8 passed in California, banning gay marriage. It's amazing to think that even with this historic election, we can get fearful of something as simple as love.
Enough politics - I need to let silence do the talking. I drew this scribble while waiting in line to vote. It has little, if anything, to do with the election or Obama, but it reminds me of how hard it is to stand and draw. Enjoy.
