I am so glad that Bush is gone now. I hope it will be a long time before I have to look at his face or listen to him talk again. Every time he was on the news or made a speech, I had to turn the channel, I just could not stand it!! So now we will see what happens. The economy in this country is just getting worse and worse, my friend Sandra who is in the banking business in a very high paying job has been notified that she will probably be losing her job in the next few months. She is pretty distraught because there are no other banks that are hiring. It is sad and amazing how many people are losing their jobs all over America. I just hope President Obama is able to do everything he wants to do without a lot of opposition from politicians who are out of touch with the American people and don't realize how bad it really is.
After watching Obama's inauguration I was truly inspired and motivated. I really believe that things are going to get better, of course I try to be an optimist anyway, but I think with him in power that things are going to change for the better. My mom was even a little inspired (this was a woman who actually thought that when Barack became President, the U.S. would be flushed down the toilet). So, we will see what happens over the next 4 years. I hope the war will be over and there will still be a way to help the people over there, I hope businesses will be hiring people again, I hope for a lot of great things in the future.
President Obama, you have your work cut out for you...
