I didn't vote for Obama, but regardless, he was elected as our 44th President of the United States. My prayers are with him as he leads our country and I have hope that he will make a difference. Today was definitely a historical day.
I went with two friends from work to a lunch spot that had giant screen TVs so that we could watch the swearing in ceremony. Mr. Obama is a great orator--no doubt about it. I felt like I was part of history by just watching.
I also watched tonight as George W. Bush arrived back home in Texas and gave a speech. He said he is looking forward to writing a book about his years as president--especially the more difficult days. He said that history will show why he made the decisions he made. He said he comes home to Texas with his head held high. I look forward to that book, Mr. Bush.
Check out the video of his speech:

It was nice to celebrate this historic occasion with you and Kay. I'm interested to see what his first 100 days in office will bring. I've heard that is a good predictor of what can be expected in a president's term. Although, Bush had a great deal thrown at him that could not have been expected.
