Peace, Love, Obama!

Deja Vu!

All the sudden, it feels like 1970 again. (Except I'm not 15...)

Youth is important and has a voice in how the country is being run. The national mall in DC was filled with people celebrating their voting power. Music was a binding medium, bridging gender, racial and generational gaps. People were willing to brave unkind temperatures, walk on foot to the venues, and wait in lines. And, the people attending Tuesday's inaugural events were nice to each other!

Like I said, Deja Vu! But, this is 2009. And, this is real...

Well, things have certainly gotten off to a great start in the new Obama administration. Not only are the citizens excited and happily walking the streets arm-in-arm, but our new Commander-in-Chief has already started making his mark. He's wasting no time taking visible action to make good on his campaign promises.

The other day, I heard on the radio coverage of the inauguration events that people on the national mall were chanting "Peace, Love, Obama!"

That's really cool. People are excited and hopeful that things can really change and get better. This is kinda surreal. It's like living in a movie. Hey - I always wanted to live in a movie! This is great. And, I'm not going to jinx this by saying anything negative. It's all good. Let's enjoy it.
