All that is to say that one of the ways that I have been socially/electronically connected to the election this year has been through Facebook, which allows you to write a Status update, to say what you are doing right now or how you're feeling. I went through all my friend's status updates who have posted something about the election. I'm not writing anyone's full name, but all of these are copied directly from facebook.
I am only going to comment on the first status update, because I can't resist it. As for the rest I'm not saying I agree or disagree with any of these (though I do think some are ridiculous, I won't say which) but these are true opinions and this is how I have observed the election.
D. found out that after i vote tomorrow, i can get free Ben & Jerry's and free Starbucks AND a free Krispy Kreme donut. Life rocks. **Commentary on the United States of America. How do you get US citizens to vote? You bribe them with sweets. um... Isn't that what did Hansel and Gretel in?**
L. just waited two hours to vote!! GO MCCAIN! :).
J. just cancelled out a vote for change.
M. walked in and got to vote without standing in a line...oh the joys of living out in the middle of nowhere :).
L. is happy she already voted and was happy to cast her vote for Obama/Biden.
D. is pulling for McCain, but prophesying that Barack Obama is the next President of the U. S.
J. is hoping his friends realize that REGARDLESS of who gets in, the world isn't going to hell in a handbasket.
J. is so excited! Go Obama!!!
M. thinks "President Obama" is difficult to enunciate clearly.
J. thinks it's funny that oprah is quoting the bible in reference to her endorsing obama.
N. is ready for forward movement. Finally.
J.- there goes the neighborhood. To Switzerland I go.
K. is ready for Jesus to come back NOW!
J. -well obama...you've got a lot to live up to. good luck saving the world.
C. just watched history being made.
R. -Finally the change America needs..
V. is asking america why?
N.- God is Sovereign. Even if you don't believe in God we have a system of Checks & Balances. Either way, the country won't fall apart. Everyone chill out.Please.
L. -all the baptists are scrambling to their Left Behind books to see what happens next in the story....
A. is in TEARS! The 1st African-American President? 2008? And it's 4REAL! God had his hands in this along! Say what you want! It was a part of HIS plan!K. is still proud to be an American. Obama will never take away what this country has accomplished, nor decide by himself it's future.
E. is disappointed in the number of people who are willing to give up on their country simply because they did not get their way. Canada/Mexico deserve you.
S. thinks Hitler gave good speeches too....
X. now believes this really may be a defining moment in American history - this Obama guy is the real deal.
D. thinks that it took more than one president to build this country and it will take more than one to tear it down...
M. is praying for our president-elect.
J.- “At this defining moment change has come to America” (Obama 11/04/08) “National Socialist Movement will bring about a revolutionary change" (Hitler 01/30/37).
S. says: so change has come to America huh? I hope it's as good as people want us to think....
J. is excited to see what a sovereign God can do through President Obama, a sinner just like me.
E. is waiting for all those people who promised they would leave the country to come visit me in mexico!
L. is thinking that living in Chile for the next four years might be a very good option.
H.: Well, America you voted and you got it: Higher taxes and fewer freedoms! But God is in control!!!
A.- I want everyone to go buy a bottle of chill pills and down a few.
S. hopes that now that Obama will be president that he'll at least put his hand over his heart for the national anthem and hold a higher opinion of our country.
K. is scared that her husbands Commander In Chief will be Obama.
B. is SARA PALIN 2012! :).
L. is trying to deal with the fact that obama is going to run our country for 4 years
J. sees that the world is still turning. Weird
H. voted for Michael Jackson. He's black, and white, a woman, and a man... definitely politically correct, and a crowd pleaser :).
M. is sayng, "Promotion does not come from the east or west. God is the judge, he puts one down and sets up another." so lets pray for the one God promoted!
J. is mourning the election of Obama for President. Oh God, please have mercy on our nation
M. is praying for our country and President elect!
S. will be glad to help you move

The Michael Jackson one made me laugh out loud. Go people-pleasers -go!
Simply Amazing....by the way, Attaboy Barack!!
You have some theologically-questionable and irrational friends. Except for M. #3. He seems like a very intelligent, thoughtful, and handsome guy.
Like I said earlier, your post made me laugh. And I second the theologically-questionable and irrational friends. And you're not the only one who has them. :)
