Okay, this is my first post in - uh, five months - ooh, not good. Well, I promise not to do that again, but I do have an explanation. See, I was waiting until I got ready to launch my YourNorthTampa website. You are saying, 'What does that have to do with it?" Well, too complicated to explain, but that is it. Anyway, now I am back, and I've got something much more exciting to say, and that is Congratulations, Tampa. We have a great new president. We are turning a corner, a wide corner that will take years to clear, but we are on the road and gaining momentum.
1. I feel like this shows how far we have come as a nation. It makes me feel happy, no, thrilled, on so many levels.
2. Imagine, how just this one event, has affected our impression on the world stage.
3. Imagine the impression on young African American children. Now, finally, they will believe that they can rise to the top.
4. More than anything else, the fact the we elected an African American reflects a huge step forward. It shows Americans and the world that we are finally a country that respects and appreciates all its races. It is a giant step forward. It's almost like we, as a country, are now on the road to recovery. It's like we are finally showing signs of recovering from an illness that began when our country was conceived.
What a great day. I loved watching the inauguration. President Obama has inherited grave problems, but I believe if anyone is up to the task, it is he.
