Despite years of Republican obstructionism, Mrs. Red Cloud finally votes for President!

Breaking... After more than one election cycle full of W's INS response of "I don't know" to the question what has happened to my application for citizenship, Mrs. Red Cloud has at long last finally cast her first vote for President.

What had happened was her application was never entered online and simply put in a drawer and filled in by pencil and NEVER moved an inch from the clerk's desk during the years when America was under W's dark cloud. Yet monthly we heard and saw reports of how many right wingers were given virtually immediate citizenship in our military area. (I call them right wingers because of their pro-war activities) Obama became President and suddenly the INS had transparency and they gave hers and many hundreds of other applications (from non-GOP loving regions as I witnessed and interviewed on the swearing in day) their just day in the sun. They simply got from Obama's government a button to press online from the INS if they had waited too long and the INS actually did its job fairly, I dare say, for the first time in 8 years.

Anyway my rant is over and Mr. Obama, your O-mentum lead has expanded by a few more votes!
