As he said time for CHANGE...

I watched the inauguration of Barack Obama..What a powerful speech, how moving..I hope he can inspire people to be better Americans, better people, caring, and as he spoke of responsibility, to be responsible and take responsibility..Today is a day of new hope..Hope for this country, for us as the people who were born here, who migrated here, who work and live here, who raise our children who intern will be the future leaders of this big and powerful country..What a historical time in our history..I hope President Obama can do half or most of what he promised to do, I know it won't be an easy task..Boy, I surely wouldn't want his job..We tend to criticize the job of President, it's a job that most of us can not do..I am not into politics, but I do know that you can't make everyone happy, and there will be decisions that most won't like and then you are dragged through the hot coals..And then your judged on popularity, no one wants that job for popularity, they take the job because they feel they can make a change, to find better solutions for issues, for the way of life in this country..Your damned if you do and damned if you don't....But, that is life..Life is never easy..But, I do hope that we can be in a better place int he next few years..There is so many issues on the table, the war, the economy, the banks, the loss of jobs, the loss of homes, education of our youth, college tuition inflation, health care that's in the toilet, the list can go on..and on...I sat here today thinking to myself, I wonder what my husband's opinions would have been on the issues that have taken place after his death..When he died things weren't as bad, yeah the gas price had risen but not the way it did in late spring into summer...
See, it's the mind of a widow that wonders what her spouse would have thought..Not just in this matter, but in so many others..It's a mind set that we have been in for so many years, because you were one..

I see Michelle Obama and I really am proud of her as a woman, a wife and a mother..She stands by her man...She helped that man to be President Barack Obama, he couldn't do it without her that's for sure..Like the expression says, "Behind Every Successful Man, is a Strong Woman"...I know what she feels..I would have stood by my husband, encouraged, loved, and be with him every step of the way..I did do that with him, just not in the rat race for political office of the Presidency...(chuckle) I wish the President success, I didn't vote for him, but I do support him..He deserves the respect and support of every American..
Have to go and get dinner moving for the girls, I will post later tonight...
