“My country,' tis of thee,
	sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
	land where my fathers died,
	land of the pilgrims' pride,
	from every mountainside let freedom ring!”                      

                                  Samuel F. Smith, 1808-1895 

Aretha Franklin sang this song beautifully. Let freedom ring. Tears ran down face as I watched our President walk through the door unto the platform. Seeing him so proud and standing tall, my chest grows with pride. This is our Country. To see all those people gathering in one place to see this moment in History is such a wonderful feeling. I am proud of America. God Bless America!!!!

Most important though, is  his speech Obama reached out to everyone, from the Muslims to the people who are poor. He is a man who could work wonders with our help. He calls for us to work together, he spoke about reaching a hand out to our enemies and saying that if they unclench their fist we will take it. Togetherness that is what we saw today, be it on the Television or on the internet or at the National Mall. That is what we were today. To see Americans all in a frenzy and working as one makes one see that there is really change in the air.  He said that things are bad and it will take a while to get better. I am happy he said that it will not happen overnight so people will quit complaining.

Wow it is good to see the Bushes out but seeing President Obama has a much better feel for me. He said it again in his speech “We will defeat you.” This is for my sons and my husband, and all Americans out there. To those of us who voted for Obama, we did it!!! To those who did not, its time to climb aboard this train, and make this work!!! Wow I am still in awe that this has all come true today. I love you baby we went through this ride from the beginning and we watched it all come to the White House.

God Bless America!!!

       “Our fathers' God, to thee,
	author of liberty, to thee we sing;
	long may our land be bright
	with freedom's holy light;
	protect us by thy might, great God, our King.”
                                 Samuel F. Smith, 1808-1895
