As I sit here watching all of the television coverage of the Presidential Inauguration I smile and feel so proud to be an American. Sure our economy is in major trouble right now and we really aren't sure what is going to happen in the future but with a new President taking office I can only hope that things will turn around and get better. It's not going to happen overnight but I know it will happen.
It amazes me that when some of my nieces and nephews are in high school in a few years they will be reading about the first African-American President in the history books and they will be able to say, "I remember seeing that on TV".
So far in my lifetime we've had many Presidents come into office but I think this is the first time I've actually sat and watched the inauguration......sad, huh??
To think, that in 45 minutes we will have a new President and history, once again, will be made.
I have faith in you, President Obama, and look forward to seeing all you will do for this great country we call the United States of America.
