What we care about
I am writing today because I had one of those good conversations last evening with a person who is a great thinker and can get a good conversation or debate started and it not be foolishness or an empty topic and he talked about how people made pilgrimages to DC and glued themselves to the TV for 6 hours and how all took off work for the inauguration and the parade and to attend the balls. And if you asked anyone what designer Michelle and Barack were wearing they could tell you and could give you all the small tid bits of the day, but if you asked what He did on his first day as president most people do not know. They don’t know how foreign policy will be changed, or what the game plan is for economics. So we were all so excited about getting a black man, this black man into office with all the support and T shirts and now he is there how will we show support now for the very hard job we have elected him to do? We can not get him to this point and drop the ball we have to be in the know. The best way to support him now is to be active and knowledable. Get more involved and not pass the blame. The worst thing we can do now is be ignorant to how we are being governed. He will need his supporters to be in the know and prepared for all the things that are about to happen. It’s our Government also. As for his 1st day our president got off to a very good start he jumped right into correcting the error from the previous day with the oath so he had the justice come and do the oath properly. Than the new President jumped right into a busy day of speaking with foreign leaders, setting up his cabinet and reversing all the policies that needed changing which is a good start on such a large job.
