Jan. 20, 2009 - One amazing day

The dawn of a new era has begun

Today, January 20, 2009 has been one amazing day.  The world has witnessed the potential only available in America; that a young boy of inconsequential means could grow to become the most powerful individual on the planet, President of the United States of America.

In President Obama's Inaugural Address he spoke to the problems of American jobs and homes lost and went on to say,  "Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter..."  President Obam's campaign centered on determination and hope for our future.

I know many of us are being tested. But President Obama challenged us as a people and a nation to become more responsible. We will eventually get through this housing and credit crisis. And in the end we will be stronger for it.  Re-learning to use credit wisely, ending the greed of corporate America and expanding middle-class jobs at home is the answer. That is part of the hope, determination and promise the Inauguration of Barak Obama has brought to the world.

What a day this has been.  Change has come.
