Three million people will flock to Washington DC tomorrow to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama, who will become America's 44th President. Obama (47) will take his Presidential oath at 12 noon local time on January 20th, 2009, and will be the first black leader in the country's history. The inauguration party will be the biggest of all time and is costing $150 million! Maintaining security throughout Obama's celebrations will be the biggest challenge in the history of the Secret Service. F16 fighter jets and drones will be watching from the skies.
Although I was hesitant to get behind this new President and his V.P., the heaviness of this position, and his willingness to make a difference gives me hope that maybe he will do a better job, or at least as good, as the past Presidents {Besides, what choice do we have?}. I frankly don't believe that there is a viable person out there that could solve ALL the problems with our economy, our situation in the world, and the energy crisis {and I think it quite brave of him to take it on-I sure wouldn't want to!}. But in looking over his original platform I am putting my faith in a divine guidance that he may follow, and his youth to be able to persevere and accomplish what he would strive to do for our country, the wonderful USA!

There are a whole bunch of Americans with our fingers crossed. One person can make a significant difference for good or stupid. Lets hope for the divine guidance part and Obama's humility(does he have any?) to seek it.
