Jonathan -
Today was a historic day for our country - Barrack Obama became the first black President. It is an amazing milestone for the U.S. and something I honestly didn't expect to see for at least another 20 years, though that's not to say I'm disappointed! ;)
At the same time, let’s also hope that this watershed will fade from memory. It was a big deal when John F. Kennedy became the first Catholic President, but now it seems quaint that that was ever an issue. It will be nice to see the same thing come true regarding the first black President.
That's not to say I support the policies he's proposing, however. I feel like borrowing our way out of a financial crisis is like eating to recover from obesity or drinking your way to sobriety. Let's pray that something outside his control can save us (like World War II saved us from Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal.)
I need to get back to work now. Happy Inauguration Day!
