I knew I should have made the drive to Washington D.C. to actually be at the Inauguration of Barack Obama but watching it on TV and actually doing the coverage at the newspaper got me ringside seats to the event.
At first I felt like this event and this change of administration is heavily overblown but at the same time you can feel the presence of change. You can see it on the face of the people as the cameras panned on their faces. I voted for the guy for his politics but I didn’t realize he is a symbol of HOPE as he is marketed.
Do I approve that Barack Obama should be president of the United States of America? You damm right I do, I voted for the guy!
So I am excited and cautiously optimistic that something good will come out of this. This is the day after events of yesterday and after seeing what he has done on the first day on the job today, I believe there will be a lot of positive change in the near future for the better in my current world.
