Being in this city, and watching it on t.v. made me even more in awe of how everyone was moved enough to crowd the streets of d.c. to just get a glimpse of history being made, and knowing they had a PART in that. The world is full of hope again, and the American people are invigorated to do well, and leave things better than they found them. We are the change. We are so thankful for Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-31583364844511893832009-01-20T11:48:00.000-07:002009-01-20T11:48:00.000-07:00I'm a little older than you (my first Presidential...I'm a little older than you (my first Presidential vote was cast for Clinton's second term) but I can honestly say that this is the first time in my adult life that my heart has practically exploded with pride in my country. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-25789745893059912202009-01-20T10:50:00.000-07:002009-01-20T10:50:00.000-07:00Lovely post.

I have no problem admitting there have been many times in my adult life that I have been ashamed of being an American and equally, many times that I have been proud of being an American. I am PROUD today and I think that the entire country should put party loyalty aside, stand up and be proud today for many reasons, one of which is being able to simply witness such an historical event in our lifetime. I believe THAT is exactly what Michelle Obama was conveying to us!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860070146071711573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-515324837044126812009-01-20T07:57:00.000-07:002009-01-20T07:57:00.000-07:00i'm very excited for today!
