Me heart really sank at that moment because despite all the hype I had heard about Obama and his so called popularity, etc...I just didn't believe what the media was telling me. But when I saw that Obama bumper sticker on that particular truck my heart sank. As we sped along I had to look over to see what kind of person would display such a sticker...fella's, the guy driving the truck was a 40-ish white guy, probably very similar to me. Now, not only had my heart sank, but I knew the United States as we all know it (typical run of the mill white men) was about to change.
I don't think about who's heading up our country a lot now because honestly I don't have time...but when I do think about it all it does is raise my blood pressure. I have nothing good to say about this situation, except for one thing...I truly do hope Obama does well because this country needs him too.
