I'm a little disturbed by all of my friends on Facebook and LiveJournal saying that this is the first time in eight years that they feel proud to be an American. Being American is about a hell of a lot more than who the president is. We have a lot to be proud of, every day, no matter who gets elected.

While I generally agree with you on this, it's been really damn hard over the past 8 years with Bush & Co smearing their feces all over everything they touch. That, and I found it delightful to see it echoed everywhere, seeing how much shit Michelle Obama caught for it from the Foxies.
