Well, more like – CNN made me cry. Well, I think I’ll say it’s both CNN and Obama’s fault! See, by Wednesday, I thought all the crying was over. The announcers and news people kept talking about how on Wednesday it was back to the grindstone. It was all fun and games and celebration on Tuesday, but, on Wednesday, Obama would have to get to work.

And actually, ‘get to work’ is exactly what he did! The problem was that I opened up the CNN website and there on the homepage was this picture:

It was the first time I saw Obama sitting at ‘the desk’. A black man.

A black man.

See what I mean?

Now look, I have half a brain – heck, maybe even 3/4 of a brain. I’m not going to endorse, support, or vote for, some half-wit black man just to get a black man in the Oval Office. That is absolutely not what happened here – so let’s not get started on that tangent. (Yes, I’ve gotten that from my husband several times – I’m getting a bit sensitive about it.)

It’s just like he said in his speech – his own father couldn’t eat in certain restaurants. Wow. Just wow.

And to tell you the truth, I don’t even know if I was allowed to take that photo. Eeps. But could I resist? No way. If a CNN dude happens by and tells me to take it down, I definitely will, but, I’m keeping it for my private collection, just to open up sometimes and look at. Just looking at it fills me with all of the hope Obama talks about.
