Happy Inauguration Day!....and midterms

Today is the day Obama becomes, well now is officially president of the United States. Just to comment, his speech was not like his other speeches. I was almost confused. There were no "yes we can's" at all. It almost felt empty. But then when I thought about what he was saying, I mean he did say a lot about what our country needs to do to "Lift ourselves up." That was a new one. I don't know why but that line stuck out to me. His message is still the same, but it seems like the "yes we can's" have now shifted into a solid plan of action. It's always been serious but I guess its now more serious serious, which is good because this country needs a serious president in charge. inauguration

I was reading some of Maureen Dowd's articles and it's amazing how she followed the political campaign the whole way through. I actually knew what she was talking about with things that happened. I don't think I've ever cared so much about what was going on in politics. Well that's also probably because President...(is it Mr. now?)...Bush has been in office for eight years.

Well as for my reading progress, I should be almost done with everything...

I will be almost done today if I read non-stop until forever. So that is what I will do....after I finish other homework, plus this week is midterm week.
