Our New President
One of my friends called me last night and asking if I received my invitation to Barack Obama’s inauguration. I thought she was kidding, of course, but she said, “No, we really got one for the work we did on his campaign!” To think, I might have an invitation to the Inauguration in my mailbox! I haven’t been to the mailbox since January 3rd because it’s in a 6 foot snowbank… and anyways I thought I only had bills and they get taken care of by direct deposit, so why bother looking at them? (lol) I drive by the mailbox every day, but haven’t bothered stopping. This will surely make me think differently about picking up the mail.
It’s a “Commerative” invitation so that doesn’t mean I was invited to THE inauguration, it is pretty much a symbolic gesture. (and a nice one at that!) This has been one of the most inclusive events that has happened in Washington, D.C. in quite a while. I know I’m very proud to have Obama as our president and it’s heartwarming to see the world is excited about our choice. It’s not often that people from all over the world come to participate in an American public inauguration. Like the millions of Americans who will be in Washington today, they want to see history in the making.
Good luck Obama! (Sorry I can’t make it, but I’ll watch it on TV. lol)
