1:30pm. well, mr. bush...we love you and are grateful for your 8 years. here they are leaving washington. & a pic (as he posed :) with the kids last week to give his final address to the nation. i thought it was a great moment- a graceful exit. and i must admit i applauded and cheered as he finished his speech. what a great response he had to a nation that has constantly trashed his efforts. i certainly recognize that mistakes were made, but in which job are they not? i admire his character. i can't imagine having a job in which i put my life on the line & worked endlessly, yet received mostly critisism and little praise.
with this being the first election i took part in, i have suprisingly found myself very emotional about it. like most conservatives, i'm nervous. i think many of mr. obama's fundamental beliefs are not right. it is scary to be lead by someone with questionable morals (compared to the bible)
HOWEVER...as i watch each ceremony that i know is planned to evoke emotion out of us...i gladly surrender it...what a moment. i am by no way a political analyst, simply a young adult trying to make sense of the future, the process, and the leaders involved...
i gladly rejoice with each african american. i am grateful that you finally have proof of your 'given' equality. i understand that many people gave their lives for this victory and i gladly celebrate with them. i wish mr. obama success in his efforts, wisdom inside of him, and humility as he attempts to conquer the challenges ahead. i stand with him and not against him. and pray that his family will be near to God, because without that, they will certainly crumble.
i am amazed at the sense of tradition we still hold in america. with the speeches, parades, and the respect that each demands, to me it is hopeful that the hearts of our country are still able to offer reverence. the history engulfing the white house and those that have lived there amazes me. i am very grateful to be part of this country. i am holding my breath as i watch it all unfold....
