Watching Barack give his speech last night was a pretty amazing event. For me it was amazing that we have elected some who speaks quietly, with conviction, determination and with a lot of thought. He is very good a measuring his speech and being able to rally people to his side.
What I find appealing is that he has been able to give many Americans a renewed sense of pride. He never seems to get rattled and he has an air of confidence about him that does not seem phony. He seems to want to listen, learn and use that in how he governs us as a country.
How many times in your lifetime have you seen a politician be able to stir up passions in people like he has been able to do.
I hope that Obama will be able to achieve what he sets out to do. It is not a smooth path that he is going down. I hope that America gives him a chance as the problems we face are many and the obstacles great. It will take time to repair what has been broken and we need to give him the chance to implement his programs. He is a very thoughtful individual and he will not rush into things looking for a quick fix. So give him a chance and you will see we have made the right choice.

I hope to see some honesty, decency, and a lot of Truman's "The buck stops here!" attitude, and I think it may happen.
His cabinet and advisers will define his presidency and I think he will put in a good mix of the best.
I am awaiting a phone call from his office at just any moment. Have you gotten yours yet? I wonder what kind of job he has planned for us?
I have not gotten my phone call yet. They are still doing the backgroud check.
He is going to create a new department for us. We each have a secretary, a researcher and a lawyer. Thats all we need. Well maybe a car.
It will be called the Department of things that Should Be.
My first ruling is that all businesses will be closed on all National holidays. These are days to be proud of our national history. We should not have to work on those days. Contrary to the belief of the business world people will shop some other day and no money will be lost.
W's birthday will probably be the next Federal Holiday.
Maybe Reagan first, though.
