Welcome President Barack Obama

By telblog on | From treadearthlightly.typepad.com

Wow what a day!
Whether you voted for him or not this is definitely a momentous occasion. "Change" may not be as drastic as we want in the next four years, but the fact that we now have an African American president is change in itself. My only hope, prayer, wish (whatever you want to call it) is that the next four years go well and are not as disappointing as the last four years. Also, I hope that everyone can remember one thing: that just like us, President Barack Obama is human. And in being human we all make mistakes and not everyone agrees with us at all times. It is also not up to one man to make change happen in this country, it is up to all of us.

And as for former President George W. Bush I hope and pray that we can all remember that he too is human. That our current situation is not just his fault. And that we try to put ourselves in his shoes as a person. Imagine, even though he does not show it, how he really feels when he goes to bed at night. Imagine how much he probably does worry about the mistakes he has made because he is human. If Britney Spears had a breakdown because of her negative press what do think he is feeling with all of his? What kind of medication or therapy does he need right now? Sure, maybe he is not bothered at all. Though, I think, highly unlikely. I get upset when someone flips me off while driving let alone when someone throws eggs at my car on inauguration day. So just remember we are all human and all have feelings no matter what job, position, or party we have or belong to.

I have a positive outlook for the future knowing that "change" has already come. Let's all think positive for the future and for our new President Barack Obama!
