Because the World Owes Me Nothing, and We Owe Each Other the World

I'm sure there are a lot of Americans, who like me, have been wishing and praying for this day to hurry up and arrive. Now that it is finally here, I am almost giddy with anticipation and ready to watch Barack Obama get sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.

I've had my 1/20/09 sticker for damn near three years. And, I've been waiting for the day when we could finally get rid of this frat boy on an eight year bender. Whatever your politics, I'm sure most people can agree that we've tried it "their" way for too long and it may just be time to see if something else works. Anything has to be better than this past administration and its inability to admit to even the most obvious mistakes.

So, come high noon today, I will be glued to my television to usher out the old, tired ways and roll with the new. I'm still so proud of us, America. We really did it. And, look at it this way; can it really be any worse than this?
