Honestly, the Prop 8 stuff absolutely killed any enthusiasm I had for Obama. It isn't a bittersweet feeling at all.
Not that Obama or his campaign had anything to do with Prop 8. But hearing him talk about a new era for America, when we get our rights ripped away, is sickening.
The black community is understandably ecstatic about Obama, but they should be horribly ashamed that the very laws and sentiment that led to our first non-(completely)white President they are more than willing to rip away from other communities. I simply cannot be excited about this, it's like a slap in the face.
