Today is the Day

New President Day.
Well, I tell myself that he's just a man, and not a super-being, but gee I'm proud. With the possible exception of the Saddleback conservatives, he's never met a crowd he couldn't sway.

I appreciate Mr. Obama, Mr. 44, Barack Black Eagle, the One, all the myriad names he's been called. And for the first time in my life I contributed to a campaign, I still don't believe I'm actually going to sit through an Inauguration, but I am. And I will treasure the moment. For once we will be together.

People are coming to Washington from all over the country. The smile doesn't want to leave my face. What a time to be a proud American.

I just hope people realize that he is a catalyst for our own actions. He cannot effect change alone. But I have hope that any decisions that he makes will be done with careful reasoning. he's called a pragmatist and an empiricist, I hope all of that is true.

Most of all I hope his honeymoon with the American People is long and that they don't start building a scaffold for him after his first mistake. All my hopes for my country. Amen.
