Welcome, Mr. President
OK, you know that I haven’t blogged in months. I’ve been busy getting married, going to school, starting a business and other things that just take up all of my time. On this historic day, though, I felt that it was appropriate for me to write something pertaining to the new leader that our country is about to receive.
First, let me begin by saying that I do not think Barack Obama is the anti-christ. Period. I believe he is a man who believes what he says, and has a vision that America can be changed.
I believe that while George Bush had good intentions, those intentions were turned in a way that cast a poor light on his presidency. God forbid that I’m ever in his shoes.
President Obama will have to deal with the same things that presidents have delt with for years. He will be tried with fire and have good times and bad. Only time will tell if he’ll be able to help America realize the change that he has promised. I hope he can. We all hope that he can.
So today, on this Inauguration Day, remember that we as Americans have the privilege of living in a country where we can have a peaceful transfer or power and celebrate that transfer. Remember why we have the right to vote for and elect the choice of the people. Try and put away petty disagreements and ignore party lines for just awhile, and celebrate that history is being made. America has her first African-American president, and he will do good for our nation.
There is always hope, and today is the day to let that hope spring up.
