Inaugration Day 2009


Ok I wasn't gonna post because I don't wanna get bashed. I have voted every year since I was 18. I had a history teacher who once told us "if you don't vote, you don't have any right to bitch about it" and I took that to heart.

I was not an Obama supporter, nor did I vote for him (as a side not I didn't care for McCain...wasn't who I wanted to vote for LOL but my horse wasn't in the running). Anyway, I wish him no ill will he is our Commander and Chief (and my DH's boss now LOL). I hope with the deepest part of my heart that he can make changes to help us all. As far as the troops home, don't get me wrong, as a navy wife whose husband has been deployed, I want the war over, but at this moment I want it to end with us have accomplished SOMETHING, so that all those men/women didn't die in vein.

I am concerned about the fact that the whining continues...its time to move on. I am also disgusted (and I was not a Bush supporter both times) that people actually booed him, and chanted the "na na na, hey hey, good-bye." I believe that NO ONE runs for President if they don't want to make changes and don't believe they are doing the right thing....doesn't always mean it is and it certainly isn't right in every one's eyes. BUT none of us can ever know the torment all of our Presidents go thru. Can you imagine making life and death decisions, and trying to create programs that help us? Not me, I have to be here to get help getting organized.

I truly hope that this country comes together and wounds heal and we all excel. I can tell you that today I was in awe of this country. Like him or not, the numerous people that showed up and support him, the country, and change is truly inspiring.

I hope I didn't offend anyone, and if I did I'm sorry. I am proud of our country, and will support our President, and pray every night (like I have in years passed) that we can get thru and move ahead.
