I'm grateful for Barack Obama

My sappy Thanksgiving post got more serious as I watched the Mumbai tragedy unfold.

    Y'Know What?

    I am an Obama supporter and made sure to vote early. I blogged to almost insane lengths against the McCain campaign. I'm grateful that Obama will be president soon.

    But to in any way say this makes you feel better about Mumbai is just to be another blinkered American that can only see things through that lens.

    How arrogant. How dare you. Even if Obama were in office, how could he do anything about this?

    This is an Indian tragedy. Obama has no bearing on it, nor do our elections. And you're trivializing it by implying it does.

    God, Joan. Write this shit out in longhand before you type it. It might save you some embarrassment.
