Obama

I watched pieces of Obama's address after work tonight. I find it slightly off-putting how many standing ovations the guy got. I mean, yeah, I think he's awesome. And the fact that he has totally energized a huge portion of the population, not to mention the world, is no small feat. He has promised so much and on one hand, it's refreshing to hear someone say, "Enough is enough, let's get our shit together," after... Well... You know.

But.

It's one thing to promise something and another thing to pull through. I know he can't do it alone and that there has to be support from other areas of government and such. But he's still a new relationship. We're still smitten! It's still fresh and exciting and the promise of continued positive change and happiness down the road is almost palpable. But will he sneak a kiss with someone else behind our backs? Will he betray our trust?

Here's to our hope and our future. Here's to the president that swept so many of us off our feet. May he really be the guy we're looking for.
