Mamahood

Everyone knows this was a monumental election in the U.S. and I’m sure every parent was imaging what life would be like under each candidate for their children. What would the next four (or eight) years hold? Will my child be less with fewer opportunities? Will his family struggle for money and be forced to fight to stay home with their babies as we had to? Or will there be a longer maternity leave in the future? Will he have to scramble for insurance to be taken care of when he’s sick? Will there be anything left of the environment? Will people start “believing in” global warming?

Obviously, the questions are endless. Luckily, I don’t have to answer those questions with McCain as the president-elect. Ugh, McCain. Somewhere on his website I read him trying to attack Obama by saying, “Now’s not the time to experiment with socialism.”

I’m glad the American people have decided to “experiment” and dump that dinosaur of a candidate. We got the right to vote, but our children are left at the mercy of our choices. And I think we’ve made the right–or at least a phenomenally better–choice.
