The Inauguration of Barrack Obama

So, I was going to write about something else but I will leave my thoughts on punishment for another day!

So....today the USA welcomed a new president to the white house! Much pomp and circumstance to lure citizens that this is the dawning of a new era, the beginning of  many wonders and lets not forget the fancy parade!

I am generally a pessimist with regards to politics - there is something funny about him I am not trusting - but then anyone who knows me knows that is pretty much how I feel about politics in general and no other "president" would ever really have me on their side - unless Nathaniel runs a few years down the line.  I do not know why I cannot celebrate but there you go, I want to wait and see how he does, I think my problem is that the american people voted in President bush - maybe by cheating the first time but he did rightfully get elected a second term, many people I talk to say oh he isn't our president but if a country should do anything it is come together and welcome the president who was voted in be a democracy! Don't ask people to vote if you don't want to hear the answer.  

Now I could go into dictators and how they could make a country work, but I wont....but just know this,  every leader has their own personal way to lead and we must trust them to lead.

Now onto Obama, the colour of his skin seems to be a big issue in this election but surely if we are treating everyone as one, that shouldn't be an issue that we have a mixed race president in the united states, cause he isn't black but mixed race and as my father pointed out, Americans are usual the first ones to be politically correct.

He seems to have a nice family and they seem happy (unless you read the "enquirer" while waiting to pay for groceries in safeway yesterday!!), so I wish him much success in his new job, he has a lot to achieve and unfortunately I believe the American people want miracles but that will take time.....we are in a deep recession and it will get much worse before it becomes better so Mr Barrack Obama (like every other politician/president) will find himself with some tough choices to make and they will not make everyone happy - not even you!!

What we all want in our lives is the same as our parents and grandparents is for a strong family foundation and a country to be proud of.

Lets support the new president in all he does and aims to achieve....

Welcome President Obama to the White house!
