Only in America

Only in America does anyone no matter race, beliefs, or unrealistic promises have the opportunity to run and be elected to the highest office in the land, President.
I will admit, I did not vote for Obama, not as many might think because he was black, frankly I wouldn't care if he was blue and had six eyes. I didn't vote for him based on my understanding of his philosophy and lack of concrete ideas for "changing" the course of America in these challenging times.
You see I don't vote on the party line or with my heart. I vote with my brain for the individual that I feel is the BEST person for the job. I truly question whether or not the majority of the voters that voted for Obama can honestly say the same thing.
I would have even less of a problem with this whole election process had I not seen with my very own eyes last night how very skewed the election process really is. At exactly 8pm straight up without even 1 single vote having been reported, EVERY single national television station declared Obama the President Elect. Not 1 vote. How does that really say that my vote counts? This is not a vote by the people.
I will accept our new President Elect, because I am an American, because I believe in our country and because I believe that whether the individual I voted for wins or loses this still is the best country in the world and because believe it or not just because I did not vote for the African American candidate I am not a "racist".
