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.

Seane-Anna -Gag away… I already call him dearly beloved leader.
They looked splendid and regal yet so humble and graceful. At last America has made the World really proud. Now we can truly say GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Denise and yan - thank you and I truly feel the same.
I was away on a cruise to Nassau inaugaration day. It amazed
me that so many of us were gathered together in the Schooner Bar,
in a huge crowd, to watch the entire proceedings, most of us ranging
in age from about 30 t0 70. There was such amazing solidarity among us. We were laughing and crying together at different times, raising a glass together in a toast to our new first family, feeling a
real sense of, “Yes, we can.” Few of us left the ship to play on
Royal Caribbean’s private island, choosing, instead, to share the
warm feeling of the special day. It was an experience like few others and I will cherish it forever.
Carmen - It was truly amazing.
