And so it ends …and so it begins. The orderly transfer of the leadership of our country.
I am an American. I’m not a citizen of the world or a child of the
universe (at least not until the grays or the Klingons show up).
American.
As an American…I have a new president. On one end of the spectrum
there are people who are so hyped up on hope…I’m pretty sure they think
the clouds are going to part and the angels sing at noon today. On the
other end are those who are sure the end is near. I’ve heard people
say they will afford this president the respect that was given to
President Bush. (How tempting that is.) There are those who fought
vigorously against Obama’s election and now say they hope he
succeeds. I suppose the question is…whose definition of success? (I’d
say the chances of President Obama becoming the second coming of
President Reagan are fairly slim.)
So…my thought for the day…
I want my country to succeed…always….to live up to the
vision of the authors of our Constitution and that we continue to be
the best and most blessed nation “on God’s green earth.” And so in
keeping with that…I wish my new President well.
