History in the making...

I've learned over the years that we should pay attention to things around us. History is made or historical things happen all the time. Today is one of those times.

I did not vote for President-elect Obama. I did not like his stand on abortion and gun control. Those are personal things with me. I also was concerned about his experience and lack of "testing". I voted for John McCain who has been a favorite of mine. I like who he is and what he has given to this country.

That said, I am proud of my new President-elect. Yes, he is MY President-elect and he will be MY president in a few short days. I'll support him, I blame him, I'll whine about him, I praise him, I'll revile him and I'll revere him...just like we do with ALL our Presidents. It is our duty, our responsibility and our privilege as Americans.

My kids feel the same way and are excited about the new President. OUR new President. He will do a fine job. The threshold is low to do a good job but even if it weren't he'd do well.

I've heard the pundits claim that the Republican Party is in trouble. Didn't we hear the same thing when Reagan was elected about the Democrats. Americans look to the leader and his party to solve problems. Things cycle around. I'm excited about the future.

Oh, yeah the election of Obama was historical. No question. But history was also made today when my daugther's offer on a house was accepted by the seller! She is going to be a home owner! The American Dream lives on and we get a room back in our house! Let's support OUR President and if anyone has time in late November, support us moving our daughter into her new house!

I love this country!
