Whew!
President Barack Obama! I feel giddy when I say it! I have to admit that I'm drinking the koolaid a little bit, but not just because of what I think he will do, but because I'm proud to be an American now. I believe that we can begin to make changes that will not only make life better in the short term, but will be the catalyst for lasting, broad-reaching change. I'm proud that Obama is our president because he has the power to inspire people to become better citizens. He has the ability to speak our language and to ask us to do our part. Will he disapoint me in policy along the way? Without a doubt. Will he make all the right decisions? Not a chance in hell. But if we can continue to ride the wave of hope and humanity that has energized so many of us, then he will have done his job.
