My very UNpolitical Hubbie just got home from work [View all]

Got himself a glass of water, sat down on the couch and turned up the volume on the State of the Union Address.

Uhm...I know this might mean nothing to you but this is like backwards world to me. See, usually the hubby comes home from work, he gets himself a glass of water, then he sits down on the couch and he turns the news off.

So I asked him why he was turning on the speech (the first time in our five years together) and he said, "I was kind of curious. Now that Obama has won, I'm wondering if he's gonna do anything about anything that really matters to me. Gay rights. Education and climate change."

He's also hoping Obama kicks some ass.

I'm right there with him.
