Color me happy

It’s been 8 years since I’ve been optimistic and hopeful about our government; it seems like most of the time the best we could hope for was minimizing the damage as opposed to actually making progress. So it feels a little strange to once again be proud of our soon-to-be-leaders and be optimistic about where the country might be going. Here’s to America, our first African American president, and progress.

And a president comfortable with the English language.

Sorry, couldn’t resist that one.  But seriously, can you imagine what that exact same speech would have sounded like with Bush reading it?  Oy.
