Well post election night has been a curious time. America is extremely positive about Obama if the polls are anything to go by, and the transition has been one of bumps as always but overall the buzz has been positive as far as his picks have gone.
Now comes the fun!
Actually I was thinking of making this a picture of a big middle finger aimed at BUSH, 'cause I'm actually more shocked he is finally gone than that Obama is going to be president at this point, but goddamn it feels good.
