Now it Begins

Finally the wait is over. President Obama has taken his place on this historic day as the new leader of the United States of America. The first minority to do so, which is a feat we should all celebrate. 

Lets be honest given the fact of the terrible economic situation we are in , the amount of money spent on this inauguration was absurd. I have no problem with the money spent on security for the event, but everything else was excessive. Especially given all the talk about doom and gloom with our economy. I think this event is truly worthy to celebrate but the expense is not justified. I guess it is just everyone else but the government  that should penny pinch.

We as nation need to keep careful watch of this administration. Let us not get caught up in all of the Hollywood Glamor.  We need to pay attention to President Obama’s message and his actions. He again repeated the fact that he feels it is the governments responsibility to provide for such things as universal health care and that people should look to the government for help. This didn’t work for Roosevelt and it won’t work for Obama. And let us not forget most of President Clinton’s success  came in working with a Republican Congress.

I wish him well, I hope he leads this nation in the direct it should be lead. I suspect though that him and his  liberal cronies will lead us straight down the path of socialism and bankruptcy.
