A New President

I'm not exactly sure what I want to blog about today's events, but I feel like I can't completely ignore current events in my blog. It might be interesting to look back on this someday and see what my thoughts were on this historical day. Now I just need to try and put those thoughts into words. I've actually been thinking about this (off and on) since the election. I was going to post something then but I wasn't sure what to say or how exactly I feel about this. And I'm still not sure what it is I want to say, so I guess I'll just start typing and see where this goes.

I did not vote for Barack Obama, needless to say, I do not have the feelings of hope and adoration for the new president that many people across the nation have. But I do have feelings of hope and adoration four our country. I have pride in our country and all that it stands for. I love that we have a process in place that allows us to vote government leaders into office even though that vote may not always go the way I voted. And even with a president in office that I didn't vote for, I have hope that this great country will continue to be the wonderful nation it always has been; the land of the free and the home of the brave. And I am glad that Obama has brought new hope to many who have all but given up on our country and its greatness. I hope Barack Obama can live up to those expectations. He has a huge responsibility and a tough road ahead of him. I do not envy his position or responsibilities. I truly do wish him luck, and all the best as president. Our country deserves a great leader, I just hope he can fill those shoes.
