Inauguration

Did you really think I wouldn't do a post about this??

I must first admit that during the morning hours of the Inauguration we were out sledding! Opps. History was being made and DH, myself, niece and the kids were out flying down a hill with snow flying in our faces praying we wouldn't land in the creek! Yup, sounds more fun then watching the depressing TV.

I couldn't believe the major channels were covering every little thing from when the family would leave there house, to the parade that never ended. I realize history was made. First African American President, that's great, really it is. I don't have a problem with that at all! Race is the least of my worries with this man.

Later in the afternoon I did start watching the coverage. It was interesting, but very depressing. The crowds of people hanging on to every word this man promised, crying like they were meeting the Lord, really!? Do they really think this man is going to fix all their problems? I think he's made a whole lot of promises and has a lot to deliver. He spoke about defending our lives, but yet he tells us change is coming. Hmmm....

And where did this man come from that delivered the benediction? When the yellow will mellow? The white will be right??? What the HECK? oh and the black will go back?

Back where?? Do we not remember it was the Republican party that fought for the rights of the black? and what was he saying 'when'. Do they think we're going to end up back where we all started with racial division? You want to talk racism. They mine as well had Rev Jeremiah Wright deliver the benediction!! I know, it was meant as a joke but seriously you think if a white person would have said this an uproar wouldn't be going on right now?

We are going to become a socialist nation thru liberalism and mark my words, in 20 years we are not going to know how we got here. Watch the next 2 years, it's going to be how we got there.

In closing, I'm willing to give President Obama a chance. I'm scared of what's going to come of the issues that motivate me (abortion, gay marriage, health care, etc) but I need to respect that he is our President. That's not going to change. But what will change is us Republicans have 2 years, less actually, to get our act together. What are we going to do to improve our recognition? What are we going to do so that the next election we don't get our hats handed to us?

Elated or deflated by yesterday, our President needs our prayers!
