Inauguration Day

Inauguration Day
Every inauguration has some historical significance. Perhaps today is one of the most important. We have heard a lot about the 1st black president…blah…blah…blah. I think there is so much more to this inauguration than that. Our new president is replacing what will probably go down in history as the worst president ever. Even before the inauguration he has begun a healing process between the liberal and conservative elements of the country.
I was not born in the great depression. I believe these are the worst economic times of my life. I truly believe that the situation is more a matter of trust than money. Mr. Obama is the type of man who can restore trust. Every challenge Mr. Bush faced was one more opportunity for him to enrich his friends and supporters. His every response was met with disbelief and cynicism because he was so obvious. Mr. Obama comes to office with no debts other than to the American people. His ideas are more pragmatic than ideological. No one knows if they will work; but they appear workable.
The USA’s standing in the world is at its lowest point. Mr. Bush has been a lone cowboy, riding roughshod over everyone. Mr. Obama at least has a chance to mend these relationships. He is as popular abroad as he is at home, if not more so.
