I have cried several times over the past few days sad because I am at home watching the inauguration on TV rather than standing in the cold in DC. I promised myself that I would be there for the next historical event and I am not.
Like others I have felt vested in this election of our new President. I contributed to the campaign with my money and time. I have never cried as much as I have around this election. I really did not want to be here especially not alone watching. Sometimes watching on television can be sickening as reporters struggle to make themselves relevant by attempting to shape news and opinions rather than reporting the news. Why read excerpts of his speech?
How wonderful that we get to watch the changing of the power in our nation. There is a shift in the feel and texture of our nation. Not because Obama is a Black man but rather because we have a new ideology or modus operandi. Yes, I assume that world leaders will give the congratulatory phone calls and express a willingness to work with new administration. This time however the tone will be different. I sense that our standing on the world stage will be transformed by this new energy.
OK, its time for me to go and listen to watch to this historic event. I am truly proud to be an American today.
