It is truly a historic day in the story of The United States of America.  I think it shows great progress for our country that the first African-American has been Inaugurated as the President of the United States.  It makes me feel that we are becoming a place where color, gender, creed, or orientation is not what defines the American people, but content.  This past election cycle, the content that was elected is admittedly not my preference.  However, I do look forward to my children being raised in the society of equality that I envision.

As for content, the Inaugural Address contained not so thinly veiled promises of collectivism, communism, and a weakening of our National Security efforts.  I will continue to speak out against policies that are clearly not within the bounds of the US Constitution.  I wish President Obama good luck in his coming four years, I hope that he gives an actual ear to policies of fiscal restraint.  I think that it won’t happen, so if nothing else, I will be guaranteed to have fodder to opine on for the length of this President’s administration.  I again leave you with the words of John Wayne, “I didn’t vote for him, but he’s my President.  I hope he does a good job.”
