Inauguration Day
I did not vote for Obama - mainly because of his views on issues like Partial Birth Abortion, I take huge issue with things like that. But, I like Obama. He is smart, level-headed, he doesn't rush to judgement. He has not come from wealth or prosperity. He has had to work for everything. He is a hard worker and I believe he is going to do his level best to do what he can to help the economy. He acknowledged that his administration "WILL make mistakes".
He seems humble to me. He is crazy enough to house his MIL in the White House! lol He is a family man. Religously he is different than me. But then again I don't know what kind of views I would have had I not been born into the gospel. I am happy and excited for our Country and having Obama for President. I think for as much flack as he has gotten by the right, I think he will surprise many for the good when it is all said and done. Even if I didn't feel this way, what is done is done, and like it (for me) or not - he IS our President.
I feel optimistic about him as our President! I am actually glad he won!! A year ago, there was NO way I would have ever thought I could say that. But, I have since opened my mind and my heart. And - I'm not saying this to intentionally oppose nor agree with anyone. It's just my thoughts. And a little side note - Obama is a lefty like my dh and he has the same build as well, and if nothing else, how could I not like that about him. I enjoyed watching the ceremonies today. And I'm looking forward to some positive changes for our country. I'm also really hoping he puts a lot of economic stimulus money into roadway design since that is our bread and butter! LOL
I am optimistic about the future of America. I remember back in August Laren and I toured the Pepsi Center in Denver right before the Democratic National Convention took place. I had a strong feeling at that time that Barack Obama would be our next President.
