Inauguration
Jan 20th, 2009 by craig
Today was President Obama’s inauguration. There has been a great deal of dialogue regarding the optimism in the country and that we now have a president that we can be proud of. I’m particularly impressed by the expressions of hope, that perhaps he’ll actually have an impact for good on some of the ills this country currently suffers from. I hope so.
Here’s the impression I’m left with for today: For the first time in my life, the President of the United States is younger than I am.
I finally feel represented by someone who is in my generation… Obama and I are the same age… I’m older by about 5 months……
Happy, happy. Like Allison said to Adriana from Spain on her blog, I can finally go to another country and feel good about being an American. We no longer have to apologize…
Having a young president is good!
I enjoyed watching the Inauguration and all the festivities today. I was not an Obama supporter but He is my President and I feel hopeful. I was impressed by his speech and the way he has hit the ground running.
