The boy can speak but...

I have had such mixed emotions this week because of the inauguration of our new President. I didn't vote for Obama, though I was not thrilled with my other option either. I enjoyed watching the inauguration and cried many times this week (some were shed while running on the treadmill at the gym..oh so embarrassing). I was most moved by the fact that we now have an African American President. After teaching History for six years and thinking back to all our country has gone through and overcome to get to this point it is really quite remarkable. He is a wonderful speaker and I enjoyed all he had to say, especially speaking to the citizens of the country and all we can do to improve our current situation. I am a little sick of Oprah and her Obama worship...I can barely watch her show these days it is so over the top. I really do hope that he does all he says he will, I hope he is as great a man as he seems to be when in public and I hope that our country makes steady improvements in our economy, education and health care.
