High Class Relief

Today, many in the nation breathe easier.  For many of us, we believe that the end of the incredibly inane and mismanaged war-like action in Iraq is at hand.  Others may have reason for hope that the age of universal health care is possible.  Still others may hope for a new era of environmental responsibility.  Racism might be seriously diminished.  The days of systemic disenfranchisement of immigrants and minorities might get shorter.

Yes, there is something in the Obama victory for nearly everyone that is honest with themselves.  However, one person in the nation is more relieved than all the rest.  It is my considered opinion that Cindy McCain had significantly less than no interest at all in being First Lady.  She wanted that scrutiny like a heroin addict wants an aquarium.  Having grown up in gated neighborhoods where any access to her was on her terms, I find it extremely unlikely that she was looking forward to several years of considering what people whose opinions she cared nothing about might think of what she did prior to doing it.

I'll just bet that whenever John isn't looking, she giggles to herself in relief. (Although she may feel a little guilty about voting for Obama.)  I suspect she will have some shopping brought to her.

I agree with you. Cindy McCain may even get a few hours of her frequently absent husband's time now that he is no longer running. Her marriage has not been a very enjoyable one for her as she well knows his hair trigger temper and cruel words. Michelle Obama is an intelligent warm person who will soon become the most beloved first lady we have had in a long time. She connects with people because she genuinely cares.
