You hear it every where, on television, the radio, from co-workers, from friends and family. You feel it when you think about what happen on November 4th. I bet you feel it right now just thinking about what you were doing that night. The Obama euphoria is every where. People are obsessed with him and the breath of fresh air he is bringing to this country's government. Some people, like my fiance are so emotionally involved that it some times leads me to think to myself, "Are people too obsessed with Obama?".
I thought about that question long and hard before it hit me, not every one is just happy cause of Obama is going to be our President. Some are happy cause they see it at a new start, some because it is the end of George Bush's Presidency. Others like myself, get that sense of pride for our country that has been missing for the last eight years. There are many reasons people are overwhelmed with emotions since November 4th.
Now there are those who are not happy, who worked very hard to keep change and hope from taking over. They are the ones that mock the happy ones, call them names, put them down, say they are crazy or other things to make the happy ones seem stupid. I hope they will come around once Obama is in office, it seems sad to me that they won't experience the same joy and excitement we are feeling at this historic time.
Tao Te Ching said "Those who dance are often thought mad by those who cannot hear the music.", and that is what is happening now. Those on the right, those who don't like Obama for whatever reason just don't hear the Obama music. So dance, live it up, and enjoy your feelings.
