Well, the big day is finally here. And I must admit to a feeling of hope that I haven't had since I was a child and JFK was elected (I was quite young, but I actually do remember him). The expectations for this President are huge. The challenges are monumental. And the job will, without a doubt, be the hardest job he will have ever performed. My hope is that he will take the eloquence that he undoubtedly has to spank the Congress into constructive action. Congress is a problem - these men and women that have been elected are divisive, self-serving, and too happy with the spoken word (as opposed to action) to pass legislation that will help this nation. I hope that Barak will be able to focus Congress to be an effective and functional arm of the government.
One way or the other, however, we are getting a new President today and I'm happy about that. So, congratulations go out to Mr Obama. May your dreams be realized today and may the dreams of this nation be realized through these next few years under your leadership.
