Last year (2008) was not exactly the best year for most Americans. We had the crash on Wall Street, many lost their jobs and/or homes, and our healthcare system continues to fail us along with the educational system. Some of the listed made many lose trust in our leaders and our government. Will President Obama be able to change the view of government in the eyes of Americans? Will he be able to change the way our allies and “enemies view America and Americans?” Only time will tell.
After being sworn in, luncheons and a night of inaugural balls(01/20/09) lasting to the wee hours of the following morning, President Obama “Hit the Ground Running” on his first day in the Oval office. He has already put a freeze on the salaries of employees who make over $100,000 a year and issued new “lobbying” rules. You can read more about it here http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090121/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_executive_pay. More changes are on the way, he does not seem to be holding back, nor does it seem like he will slow down anytime soon. Will he come through on the many promises he made during the election? I sure hope so, judging from his first day in office, the chances seem more then likely. I must say, please do not expect any overnight fixes; our economy did not get in the state it is in overnight.
I do believe positive change will come with President Obama, but I also believe strongly in him wanting us ALL to be responsible. He wants us all to play a part in fixing America. I like the fact that he is including Americans in his journey for change. If you want to be involved, if you want to express your thoughts/opinions, or if you have suggestions, send them to the current administration. You can visit the “Official” web page of the White House at http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/. This link will take you directly to the contact us page, but please look around the site and read about the plans that President Obama has for our country.
During President Obama’s election we were able to see just how diverse our country is. The young, the old, black, white, disabled, gay and straight, rich and poor, all backgrounds came out to support him. I saw some ugly sides in people too, but this time around, I saw more of the good in people. I saw how united we can be when we have a common goal. The majority of Americans wanted a change and they saw that change in President Obama.
Although everyone did not see him as the change for our future, it is clear from every appearance he has had since being elected (and even before then) that he is for ALL people. He is a proud, compassionate, intelligent, well rounded family man. My favorite aspect of him is that he is a family man. I like that he has no shame or reservations about speaking highly of his family. It is absolutely clear that he loves his wife “The First Lady” and daughters (Malia and Sasha). Seeing him as a family man has actually made me trust him a little more, even respect him more. Knowing that he ran for president because of his daughters is admirable. It also shows that he cares about the future of his children, and all the children of the world. Considering children are our future, we have to leave them with something worth taking care of. That is the goal of all parents right…to leave our children in a better place then we found it, to try and make it so they can struggle less then we are/did?
I understand that not everyone was for President Obama, and that is perfectly fine, but let’s not dwell on the past. It is what it is, and our future lies with President Obama. But, with his administration everyone is encouraged to be involved. So get out there and make some changes. Whether you are a fan or not, our President needs our encouragement, strength, support, love, positive energy and prayers. Nothing is going to change if we do not back our President and give him our full support. Again whether you like it or not, he is the leader of our country. He can reach many great goals with Americans standing in his corner. Let’s all uplift him, keep him and his family in our prayers, as well as the entire administration and their families. “Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. ~Vince Lombardi
May God Bless us all! I will leave you with one last common quote…
“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” ~Henry Ford
I think Elves came into my home and sprinkled dust on the tables and threw toys on the floor and left dishes in the sink, and.....OH WAIT THAT IS JUST MY KIDS AND DADDY! I don't know why it seems like as soon as I clean up one area of the house a different area has gotten worse. I honestly think the oldest kid of the house (daddy) makes the biggest mess out of them all. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my family, and I LOVE staying home with my children, and I understand that part of being a stay at home mom consists of cleaning (actually even if I worked out of the home cleaning would still be on my plate) HOWEVER I did not sign up to be a 24hr housekeeper. Don't get me wrong, I like having a clean home, I don't even mind cleaning, "there is a place for everything and everything belongs in its place"...I just get a little irritated when I have cleaned up a room and it only stays clean for ummmmm 15 minutes. What is really funny to me is the dishes in the sink. I am pretty good at staying on top of that, but what is funny is the man of the house. Because he does not like to wash dishes so he will buy plastic cups "to help cut down on the amount of dishes in the sink." UMMMM...why does that matter if he is not washing the dishes? I told him to just use one of the many cups that we have because I will be the one to wash it anyway, plus it is better for the environment if he is not helping fill the landfills with plastic cups, every little bit helps right? Don't even get me started on dust. As much as I would like to pass the blame onto someone else in the house besides myself, no one really can take the blame for the occurrence of dust...unfortunately I am the one responsible for fighting with the dust bunnies that seem to keep having babies. As soon as I find the village of dust bunnies a good home (in my trash can) more of those suckers show up. Where is all the dust coming from??? I really do not want anyone to answer that question, I know where dust comes from. Any how, if anyone out there would like to come be a housekeeper for the same hourly wages that I am so lucky to receive ($0) please visit the contact us page, send me your resume and I will immediately set up an interview. The ideal candidate must love kids, have magical powers that keep the dishes clean and the toys off the floor, and must be a skilled fighter in order to eliminate the dust bunny family taking over our home.
