Perpetual Smile

Voting was very… uneventful. I expected coffee, muffins and candy. I expected an “I Voted Today” sticker. I expected a mass riot in the parking lot or voting room.

I got none of the above.

All I got was a bubble-in-the-President card and stares from old people pitying the poor confused young person voting for the first time. Luckily the machine did not eat my card and I managed to get out of there before someone could throw a chair.

The only good part about the event was the lady holding the Obama sign, alias Obama Sign Lady. When we passed her as we left I gave her the thumbs up and she did a little dance!

Well, at least I exercised my freedom tonight. I still want my damn sticker, though.

I’ve been Twittering for the last twenty minutes about an audio clip that quoted Obama to be planning to bankrupt coal manufacturers. If you’ve heard this video clip and it’s got you wondering, please listen to the full interview! I dug it up and found it on the San Francisco Chronicle.

Just goes to show, you have to dig for the facts, because the media/public always tries to make something out of nothing.

I am still voting for Obama later tonight.
