Last night's Falcons game and today's presidential inauguration on FB. [View all]

Last night, FB was ablaze with excitement as the Dirty Birds were on their way to the Super Bowl only to be doused in bitter disappointment by the 49er's. Today will celebrate the life of civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King, and the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama. There were three posts quoting Dr. King, and two negative for the president. One retired car salesmen called him a SOB, and pointed finger at those of us who obviously voted for him. Apparently I'm helping to steal money from his granddaughter. The other comment came from a young naive 20 year old girl who works retail and attends a Southern Baptist Church. She believes that Obama is destroying the country with he's tyranny. Wow, really? That's it? Granted this based on a small 200 person friend list. I'm an average married women with 2 children. Our FB friends are teachers, real estates agents, and small businessmen/women, etc. Pretty average sample, I assume. That is why I'm so disappointed. I know I'm not the only Obama supporter, since our county went blue in a sea of red. If you ask the asshole car salesmen, he would say it was because of all the blacks and Mexicans. Which I am neither. So there lies my dilemma. The life of a happy and excited, yet lonesome democrat. Yay!
