One Day More!
Finally! I've been waiting to post this for what seems like ages - Les Misbarack:
To help pass the time, other fun things:
Sarah Palin: Fangirl by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sheafrotherdon. (This SLAYED me! *flails*)
selenak hated what the last eight years did to what was once a favourite show, "The U.S. of A". (...All the recasting didn't help, either, especially since the Attorney Generals all seemed to be the same character (see: Hooray, Torture agenda) while having different names. What was up with that?)
Lovely article: My wife made me canvas for Obama; here's what I learned.
adinfinitum has an Obama picspam. (Will MURDER dial-up, srsly.)
And - for anyone who missed it - my very silly election fic: The Election, as seen from Torchwood Cardiff.
For those who want something a little more indepth, Andrew Sullivan's leading article in yesterday's Sunday Times: Obama: I am the chosen One. Untried, untested but ready, Obama dares the US to vote him in.
Finally, The Sunday Times also printed an excerpt from 'Audacity of Hope': Obama in his own words: the day I put my arm around President George Bush.
I'll quote a snippet, because it highlights one of the main reasons I want him to win - the ability to disagree without being disagreeable, and find common ground:
After the trappings of office are stripped away, I find the president and those who surround him to be pretty much like everybody else, possessed of the same mix of virtues and vices, insecurities and long-buried injuries, as the rest of us.
No matter how wrongheaded I might consider their policies to be – and no matter how much I might insist that they be held accountable for the results of such policies – I still find it possible, in talking to these men and women, to understand their motives, and to recognise in them values I share.
