Who else is shell shocked from 8 years of Bush?
I was just reading this in another post:

"On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose."

And I was just thinking to myself, "Error. Error. Does not compute. Does not compute". Then I remembered that we have a new, sane, President. A real one.

4. I am severely shell-shocked.
I still cannot believe his reign of errors is over.

I heard the announcer on NPR say "President Obama" and it took me awhile to realize what he had said.

It doesn't seem real, and I am still waiting for more fall-out from the Shrub clusterfuck.

5. I am.
I think so many Americans, including the media. We are so used to criminals, corruption and incompetence being the norm, we are not quite sure how to react to this change.

:hi: Eight years of fear and afraid to ask questions....except for Helen Thomas. Now watch all of the talking heads start criticizing Bush. Where were they for the past eight years.

He is saying these things out loud, in front of God and all these people! It's on the evening news! It's in the newspapers! The entire nation, hell, the entire WORLD is seeing and hearing this!

It's not my imagination:)
