I'm Jealous

At first, I was elated--hopeful, energized, and enormously relieved. But I have to say, the green is creeping in. After all these smug years of gentle anti-Americanism, I want to be American! Mostly, I just want in on the party. But I also wish that I could claim some responsibility for such a historic moment--such an exhilarating moment. Well, with any luck, Obama will soon be our leader. Suddenly, I'm all for the previously dreaded invasion, although the cruel irony is that now, with such a peace-loving individual leading the country, it may never happen.
