So long. Farewell.

America starts a new journey today, and we, along with many others, enjoyed watching President Obama as he was sworn in this morning. We went to a coffee shop on Interstate – no big screen TVs, just a little one with rabbit ears! The atmosphere was electric, and no matter which way you ultimately voted, today is a truly historic one and it’s our duty to take the challenge laid out by the President and once again make America great. To be here and be part of it was something special – and as one of our friend’s said…’never watched an inauguration before!’ – and most people probably haven’t either. There was never a real reason to in the past.

Today feels like a very good day!

It’s also been an amazing night being here in the US during the most historic election in recent history. I don’t “do” politics – I live in the USA, I pay my taxes, but they won’t let me vote for another 2 years or so…so to avoid any tension I generally stay away from political debates…however….GO OBAMA!!!I honestly feel that Obama is going to push America forward in a great new direction…something that has been lacking for the last 8 years. Of course, everyone in England thought that Tony Blair would do that for the UK, and look how that turned out eh? Still, this guy LOOKS like President, SOUNDS like a President, and can pronounce nuclear…it’s got to be a step up. The excitement here in America is spine tingling, and I’m so happy to have been here and seen it happen. Best of luck to the new President. As a side note – it’s worth pointing out that after a very nasty campaign, John McCain’s concession speech was honest, heartfelt, and showed true honor.  Mike.
