Only in instances like this...

Do I wish I knew more about politics.

I do know that CA never registered me to vote, although I applied, so as much as I'd like to be a voting citizen, it will have to wait until 2012...or at least when I vote in the next big election.

2012, by the way, is the first year I'm assured to be on my way outta here. Very exciting.

Anyway, my father in law is obsessed with politics. Anytime we get together, something has happened where he has to make the situation all political and it drives me bananas. In those cases, I'm happy to sit ignorantly back and let my mind wander to more (in my mind) pressing issues.

I know I'm not the only one who did not vote and therefore not the reason McCain didn't get elected, but yesterday I would have loved to have had a hand in getting him one more vote.

I was up in the air as to who I wanted in office until he got Sarah Palin as his running mate. For me, she sealed the deal.

Now that the results are in and its Obama after all, I wish I knew more about the big issues. I know he and I don't see eye to eye on abortion, and the fact that all those bills passed is bothersome for me since I couldn't vote, but other than that, I'm really lost.

I'll do research on my own, though, to find out. I think if he gets the economy back in order, which will take a few years, i think, he will have done his job and in the next election we can go back to the GOP.
