I just finished watching the Inauguration of President Barak Obama and I was struck again by the HUGE turnout. I’ve jokingly posted here references to Obama as “Messiah” or Obama as “Antichrist.” In reality he is President Obama — a common mortal, just like every other American president has been.
I felt Obama made it very clear in his inaugural address that we, frankly, are all in this mess together, and that we can work ourselves out of this mess if we truly work TOGETHER. He called upon each of us to get back to the role of doing all we can as individuals, and not just assuming our elected leaders will have the ways and means to “solve” all the crises we face.
Good speech. Good start. Now we’d better all get busy if we are going to deal with all the problems we face as a nation and as individuals. Are you up for the game? We’ll see, won’t we?
