The election is over. We won. We need this haven once again. I do. [View all]

Over the past 6 months I tried my very best to build some bridges on DU and some real relationships so that people would know that Obama supporters are liberals. We support LGBT civil rights and feminism and we support every liberal cause there is. I believe I succeeded, too. I made some really good friends in surprising places. It was gratifying to see their support for President Obama's reelection, too.

But if ever I needed a safe haven it's now. Thank goodness for the Obama Group. Because I support the man we just reelected. Not blindly but because I think he's a smart person who will do his best. And because I am a proud Democrat.

On a personal note, you may remember that I had a family issue that was difficult to deal with. It is still ongoing but at least I'm home. I brought the family member home to live with me. Some days are good and some days are really hard. But family is family, right? You love them so you take care of them.

Anyway, thanks for being here.
