I just wanted to post to say I watched in awe as we here in America watched Barack Obama take oath as our 44th President. I am not ashamed to say that I wept when it happened. I did not think at this point of my life I would see our first African-American President. I thought that I would be an old woman by the time I saw such an event. This inauguration felt different than past ones. It just felt so much more emotional and powerful than in the past. I’m sure the rest of the world was watching us as all this happened. I hope that with this new era we can set an example of what this country can do.

Just wanted to write and say, yes change is coming! I usually don’t like to air my political views, but this is important. America needs new leadership that we can look up to. Obviously I’m glad Obama won, but I do have to admit McCain was very gracious in his speech. I’m actually excited about things to come, and I haven’t felt that way in awhile :).
