Is it passe to be a Republican?

OK, the inauguration is just a few days away, and I feel alienated because I didn't vote for Obama. That doesn't mean I think McCain was the best choice either. But I'm just sick of Obama this, Obama that. And he hasn't even taken office yet. Does that make me a bad person? A bad American? Can't we just look at it as another president? Do we have to focus on the fact that he's black? I just don't know what to feel.
