President Barack Obama - A Knowing

A new day has dawned and a new knowing has seeped through my heart. It has been said that this country now has new hope. However for me it is not hope. It is a knowing - A knowing that Barack Obama truly cares about the people of this nation and around the world. A knowing that he has the confidence, wisdom and diplomatic strategies to take on the ills of this country and around the world.
He is a man of service and as such has the unique abilities to know what it takes to get the job done. As a man of service it is evident that he has within his heart a deep compassion for all people.
He is a motivator. One, who by his words have me motivated to do something to help. I finished watching his speech with a profound sense of duty. Asking myself what can I do to help those less fortunate. I must admit that I do not ask myself that question often enough.
At my age I’ve seen many a president take the oath of office. I have to say that this is the first time I’ve felt that I absolutely without a doubt know that Barack Obama will take us in a new and positive direction.
On a more personal note Michelle Obama looked stunning today and the two girls were beautiful. I am happy and excited for our new first family.
I, for the first time in a long time, today have again become proud to be an American.
