Hail To The Chief

Today was a very important day in our collective history as a country.

Today, for just the 44th time, a person has been sworn in to lead the United States of America.

I'm not going to provide links to the coverage or the speech because if you found this little out of the way blog you can surely find those, but I do want to put my two cents in.

I know a lot of you don't like President Obama.

Some people do not like his politics.

Some do not like the fact that he is a democrat.

Some do not like the fact that he is black. Yes you are out there...I work with some of you.

But you cannot deny the fact that it is STILL an amazing event to watch.

One man...chosen by a majority of the voters in this country to lead us for the next four years.

I certainly do not want that job! LOL!

Give him a chance. One person cannot change the world.

All politicians promise to do the best they can and all politicians have to deal with others who oppose their view. But I've already seen posts wondering why President Obama hasn't done anything yet!

It takes time and he inherited a really bad load of stuff to deal with.

Not everyone will be happy. Not now, not ever.

But you will get to voice your dissatisfaction in just under four years...if you choose to vote then.

Until then relax and enjoy the moment.

A moment that speaks to the freedom we have in this country.

We can agree to disagree...compromise is one of the tenants this country was built upon.

I know I'll disagree with some decisions...but only time will tell.

And for those of you celebrating that President Bush is now gone? Time will tell for him too.

Feel free to speak your minds...that is another great thing about the US of A!

But at least take a deep breath first and let the history of the moment sink in before you started yelling and screaming again.
