Barack Obama is my President!

I am so happy to say it now that it is official. Obama is my president! I am proud, hopeful and elated. I just finished watching the inauguration here at work. I watched it with a classroom of students. His speech was phenomenal. I am inspired beyond words to be a better person and do my part. That is really what defines a great leader to me. It is a person who can inspire and lead others into something better...a collective effort. A person who realizes that he cannot do it alone and must lead the masses into change - and make every man and woman responsible for the change - is my new president! Hallelujah! YES WE CAN! YES WE DID!

P.S. Do metaphors speak to you? (Cheney in a wheelchair due to a pulled muscle)

Under 10 days!

Do you realize that we only have nine days left of Dumbya? We are down to one digit. I honestly never thought we would see the day some days...especially the day we all found out he got a second term. I am still glowing about what the citizens of American have done. We are on to a new day. It will be a difficult climb out of the hole that was created during the last eight years. Times are sure tough. We are going in the right - or should I say correct - direction, however. We can do it. Sometimes I still let myself think of what the alternative could have been. Oh so scary. I can't wait until President Obama's inauguration! It is real and going to happen! Oh happy day.
