This is a historic day for The United States of America. As I write this, it's only been 3 hours since Barack Obama spoke in front of a huge congratulating crowd in Chicago. His speech was as powerful as expected and thousands of folks in the crowd were in tears. Though the crowd was expected to be exhausted from the long day's wait, everyone was in high spirits.
I will not even begin to talk about the nervous energy of white supremacists and ultra-conservative Republicans. Let alone venture into a guess as to how they will cope in the next four years. Thousands of bloggers and journalists will probably write about that. Not this bloke...at least not yet.
While newsmen, political analysts, members of academe and a bevy of naysayers all scurry to broadcast and publish their forecasts for the first African American President of the United States of America, I am anxiously waiting for the news about what breed of dog the Obama daughters will bring to the white house. The new president said out loud that his girls deserve to have the new puppy to play with in Pennsylvania 65000. The girls do deserve it. I hope the press will be nice to them. Dog lover that I am, I guess I just have to heel, stay, sit and wait.
Give the man a break. He worked ridiculously hard for 21 months. Let him have his honeymoon period and get acquainted with all the White House spooks and ghosts.
