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.

Election Day

So did anyone catch the election results?

I kid, of course.

Last night was truly remarkable as Barack Obama garnered the the most votes ever for one candidate running for president. Breaking the record just set the last presidential election.

Oh and he's black too.

OK, "African-American".

Really he IS African American as he had a father from Kenya and a mother from the US.

Kinda neat since a lot of people who say they are "African American" don't know if they are from Africa or not...just a point I wanted to make.

The best part of the whole thing was to watch the right wing noise machine attempt to spin the win into a future loss.

I actually heard Sean Hannity say he was only hoping and wishing for the best for Obama and that he would not be as mean spirited as the "left" had been against President Bush.

That statement came after his NEW opening that is about three minutes of people like Rev. Wright and a lot of Obama quotes taken out of context implying that he is anti-American and wants to do in every person in the US.

Rush Limbaugh spent 20 minutes explaining how he is now only to let "real, proven conservatives" play and anyone who wants in "the game" will have to prove themselves first.

He also said he was not going to be "bitter" while talking through his teeth or yelling the entire time.

I'll give rush this much though: He set himself up from the start to be a winner. If McCain won it was only because he had decided to back him. If McCain lost it just goes to prove he was right that McCain should not have been the nominee in the first place.

Rose, of Quinn and Rose, was talking with a caller about how she went and prayed after voting.

She didn't say if she prayed for what was best for the US or if she prayed for Obama to lose. I would have called and asked but she seemed upset already...

So its started already.

Obama hasn't even been sworn in yet and pundits are ready to blame every wrong move on him.

Its going to be a long four years.

Or not.

One republican friend told me that they are already looking at the 2010 election to regain some seats in congress...sigh.
