Well I have not written in almost 2 months. I let the holidays pass and I decided to wait until before inauguration day to write. So much has happened. I still tingle whenever I hear President-elect Barack Obama, or if I see another appointment he has made or simply see him in a news conference. I still have to pinch myself. I can't believe we did it. Like right now he is on t.v. saying "my administration". I can't wrap my brain around it. But that doesn't even make sense because I have continued since he announced saying that he could win, but I still can not believe it. I can't believe this country. We made a decision based on issues. We did not hold his race against him.
As we know, Barack Obama has a lot of work to do. He has an economy in shambles, 2 wars, an energy crisis, and just plain lack of confidence in the government. But I am glad he is in the drivers seat!
So, let me play catch.
1. Blagojevich is, well, let's just say bold. Roland Burris is a prime example of an ol
d school black politician. Just seeking limelight with no substance. Why on earth would you want a seat that is simply tainted, but oh I forgot you are a washed up politician and you are a little jealous of all the love Obama receives. Roland Burris, I am sure you will become Senator now, but honestly, how much respect do you think you are going to get? You are allowing Blagojevich to use you. Does the limelight feel good, no matter how much people are laughing at you?

I would have liked to see a few more black men, I believe 2, Eric Holder for Attorney General, and someone as trade rep. Overall really good.
3. Governor Palin, go AWAY! Get over it. You are not smart and we all saw it. So don't be a sore loser and lash out at Couric and Tina Fey. Palin, just go away!
4. Republicans, take a breath. You lost. If you were smart you would really take some time to get it together. You will have 8 years to figure it out. Obama is not going anywhere.
5. Bush, you suck. Why won't you let the Obama's stay in the Blair house? Because one dude is staying there on the 12th you will not let the incoming first family stay there. Simply ridiculous.
6. Welcome to the Washington Metro area Obama family. Words can not express how happy we are to have you.
7. Congressional Democrats, please remember who the party leader is. Do the right thing.
8. Americans, don't miss the inauguration because you don't want to be bothered. Do you really want to say you stayed on for the "March on Washington" moment? I don't.
9. Inauguration committee, please stop scaring everyone to death. Do you want anyone to come? You are doing your best to deter folks and it is not right. You basically say kids are not welcome, you can't bring anything, you close VA off to the city, and you basically close the city. What gives? I am going and there is nothing you can do to stop me.
10. So, what will I do for the inauguration? My family plans to be on the Mall somewhere. If I can hear Obama I will be happy. I just want to be in the midst with the energy, the joy, the excitement and history. I will be cold, tired, funky, inritable but at the same time overjoyed. My son, 5 years old, will be with me. We will all get through it together but I will not let my family miss this event. We will be there and I can't wait. Obama, here we come.
