We watched intensely until CNN officially predicted Barack Obama's re-election. After the announcement, we shared hugs and thoughtful quips until the last votes came in. I had to stay away from Twitter and other forms of social media because of the anger I knew would ensue on each site; I honestly didn't want any part of that. I would rather watch the results with people of like-mind than try to explain my position to the varying degrees of opinions on social media sites."
