New President, New Day

// January 20th, 2009 // Fluff

Watching the swearing in of Barak Obama live right now and overcome with a bit of emtion.

I can’t remember the last time my country stood up together, not out of fear or anger, but out of hope and joy.  I think this is in part what the excitement is about this president, that we no longer feel ruled by fear of what could happen but by the hope of what we might yet do.   By no means do I think Obama will fix all our problems, nor do I think any President could do easily.  I do feel a joy in hoping that we’ve slowed our downward spiral with hopes that we’ll see a light again someday at the end of all this.
