Greetings Mr. President

Watch Obama Inauguration

Amid all the pomp and circumstance of the 44^th president’s inauguration all went well. It was a glorious day in the history of the republic. The ceremony went on without incident amid millions of jubilant Americans who were there to wish the new president well. Never in our nation’s history have we seen such enthusiasm and hope for the future.

At long last, the breath of fresh air that we’ve all been waiting for. President Obama and his family are so ready for the part of First Family! They are genuine, photogenic, smart and very classy. I don’t think there are enough superlatives to describe them. They will make us all proud regardless of social station or race.

Yesterday I was very proud of America. Not that I haven’t always been proud. It was pure euphoria to so many different people celebrating with such verve. The world watched just as excited as Americans. Many are wondering how long the honeymoon last? In President Obama’s first full day in office he wasted no time in tackling the huge challenges that await him.

It’s refreshing to see that he will not be influenced by lobbyists and others with sordid agendas. He is maintaining strict protocol in regards to ethics and integrity of his cabinet. That’s a real change from the Bush regime where everything seemed to spiral out of control!

Everyone seems confident that he will hold government and Wall St accountable to the American people; it’s about time! He will put a bridal on runaway greed that put Main Street in the poor house. My fear is that with so much expectation on his election people may be putting unrealistic expectations on his first year or two in office. We didn’t get in the mess overnight and we will not fix it overnight. The consensus seems to be that he is the right man for the job who is not afraid to make tough decisions. This is the type of leadership the presidency has been sorely lacking.

American took a quantum leap forward on January 20^th. We the American people are blessed to live in a country where all things are possible. To this day millions of immigrants seek our shores as the true land of opportunity unlike no other place in the world. We were able to put our differences aside for one day in total unity for a cause and purpose greater than ourselves. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could do this going forward?
