Tomorrow, the only thing I would want to do less than deal with the cold and the crowds in Washington D.C. to be a part of the historic events there, would be to take over as President. It takes a certain type of person to even want the job, let alone spend the time and money required to compete for it. I've been sick to my stomach for a month just dealing with the water damage in our house from ice damming. I'm just the co-president of my household and that's enough of a challenge to run. I don't think I could even begin to imagine what it would be like to be the one in charge in Washington.On the news this morning they were talking about a study that shows the President ages twice as fast as average people during their time in office. Obama has already showed signs of aging just during the campaign and compared to what lies ahead for him, the campaining may prove to be a walk in the park.
I am hopeful and optimistic that Obama will do a good job. I heard some republicans talking on t.v. and even though they obviously didn't support him in the election, they all appear to genuinely want him to succeed. We need him to succeed.
And so on this, the eve of the inauguration of number 44, my message is Good Luck to you Mr. President.
Great entry! I was thinking the same thing, Mary, what a huge, unimaginable challenge, to be in charge of all this. And how can a president sleep?
ReplyDeleteRemember Mom saying that when I found out there was no Santa Claus I said, "This is the WORST day of my life?" Well yesterday I felt like it was one of the best days of my life. I finally have confidence that we will see positive change in our nation. I in no way envy President Obama and the job that lies before him, but I feel he's the best man for the job. And I can't wait to see what Michelle will be up to!
