I was very moved yesterday when I watched the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. The election of a black president is something that I thought that I would never see. The fact that he acknowledged the past while expressing hope and optimism for the future was powerful.
I believe that he will be a good president. Many of those on his team left somewhat early to work on the issues affecting our nation. From what I understand of his economic policies, he is looking at ways to help small business and tax payers. He is also looking to bolster America’s image overseas by pulling out of Iraq and closing down Guantanamo Bay. This positive approach to nation building will serve us well.
It will take time though. Everyone is feeling the pinch and I hope and him and his team can have us back on the right track by 2010. An era of prosperity and peace is ahead but we must make it through these tough times first.
And we will!
