I couldn’t think of a title that was important enough to express how I feel about today. So you get a cliche. I’m sorry.
Long before I thought it was possible that Obama would be our president, I looked forward to this day. I’d say I’ve been looking forward to this ever since that gray and rainy and cold and miserable Wednesday in early November back in 2004 when I learned Bush had four more years in the White House. I’m really sorry if any of my readers like him or voted for him or any of that but DEAR LORD. I’ve never particularly liked him. And over the years, that feeling has soured even further. In the last year, I’ve felt more and more desperate to see him leave office. The state of this nation has deteriorated so rapidly and so throughoughly that even I am shocked at how completely this country has gone down the crapper in the last eight years.
All that aside, today is not just about seeing Bush leave office, but it’s more about seeing Obama take office. This is historical. This is HUGE.
Words are failing me.
I’m just proud of my country. And I’m inspired. And I’m excited.
I’m going to be watching a lot of television today. I want to be able to tell my kids when they’re older about this. I want to be able to tell my grandkids.
I don’t know what else to say. Happy Inauguration Day, everyone.
