God Bless America
Last night, five women sat in my living room listening to Obama’s thirty minute recap of what he is going to do as president. Yes, some of it was rehashed, but still, I had goosebumps thinking we will finally have a president that we deserve. I haven’t felt this way since Jimmy Carter. Okay, say what you will about Carter – there was no president who cared deeper about this country and its collective soul than that man. And who the hell do you think has been in New Orleans since Katrina rebuilding our homes – uh, that would be Jimmy.
This morning, a woman sent me an email stating:
It has been a very long time since I voted for a person I believed in rather than simply voting against a person or a party. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to vote for a man I actually believe can be an effective president. Aint America a hell-of-a place?
Last night, at the end of the 30 minutes, J stood up and began marching around my living room singing, “God Bless America, Land that I Love…” You gotta love it.
Really – Obama is the one! And damn cute too.
