You Can Blame Me, if you need someone to blame...

"you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot please all of the people, all of the time." John Lydgate

For a number of years now, I have seen those "don't blame me, I voted for Kerry" bumper stickers. I suppose now, I could join the club and proudly post a sticker proclaiming that at least I wasn't one who voted in this new president.

And I could slap it on my car right after he makes a decision that doesn't turn out well.

But I won't. Because he is my President. The President of the United States and therefore...My President!

you see, that's how it works...we vote, and the majority wins. I wasn't in the majority this year, but I still agree with democracy.

So, if you did vote--wonderful!( I won't even get into my feelings on those of you who didn't--let's just say, if you didn't, and you are legally able to, please don't admit it to me--I'm not very understanding in this area...) I hear the voter turn-out was amazing this year. If the person you voted for won--yay! you REALLY have cause to celebrate, as you believe in the incumbant's position and direction and have been on board already. If the person you voted for lost--well, what can I say? I'm in your position and I feel your pain (lol!) seriously, though, you voted--that is the important thing, you made your voice heard...now stop moping and rejoice that the political ads are over for a while...and, worst case--at least there will be less of those bumper stickers! (hopefully...let's not be haters, ok?)
