*INAUGURATION DAY* a new beginning!!!

At last, new beginnings, new hope for this country!

I am stoked today, so happy to spend my whole day watching the inauguration of our 44th president, Barack Hussein Obama. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime.

The city of Washington, D.C. is literally overflowing with millions of citizens anxious to watch this important and long overdue event.

It makes my heart proud to see people of all colors, ethnicities, religion, old, young and infirm celebrating and smiling.

I was so worried about my country, the United States of America over the past several years.
We were hated by other countries; considered arrogant, self-absorbed and pampered with all of our required possessions. We had unlimited credit for everyone, huge houses, cars and possessions that could not be afforded. The selfish and greedy of our people took full advantage of this time and made off with vast sums of money. We raped other countries just for oil to run our cars. Over 4000 of our finest died in a war that they didn't create, invading a country that didn't need invading, overthrowing a terrorist that was blamed for 911 instead of hunting for the one responsible.

I don't recall a time in my aged life when I lived in a country that was so divided, people against people, state against state and political party against the opposite one.

Even though the times in our country are laden with debt, unemployment, lack of healthcare for millions, families just fighting to exist, to eat or provide a roof over the heads of their children, we have HOPE! We have pride in our chosen leader, and we once again have faith in the United States of American. Better days are on their way, we are united as a country, finally.................
