Inauguration Day

Today is the day we’ve been waiting for a long time.

For some people, it might be around 2 years from the start of Obama’s campaign. For others, perhaps 4 years, from the start of Bush’s last term. I know some people have been waiting for this day during Bush’s whole 8 years of presidency. Then, many others say they’ve been waiting for this moment for the past 36 years since Martin Luther King told the world about his dream. But really, it can easily be said that this moment has been coming for this country’s entire time in existence.

The feeling you get from everyone you run into (in New York at least) is that we have a chance to take this country into a bold new direction by all working together. It’s a pretty awe inspiring notion.

I suppose we need to remember to get over that awe and get out there and make a difference.
