I am sitting here watching the events of Barack Obama's inauguration unfold and am so happy for the nation and optimistic about our future. I have not been so happy since, being only a few days back from Vietnam, and walking into our kitchen to have my father tell Pam and me that LBJ had announced his intention not to run for a another term as President.
While I am optimistic about our nation's future, I also realize that it will not happen overnight. It will be a long, tough row to hoe but I feel that if all work together all will be well. As I have said in the past, what this nation needs is a forward thinking leader in the mold of JFK. Much is amiss and much needs to be done. I am confident in Mr. Obama's ability to build consensus and get this nation moving in the right direction in assuming it's traditional place as the leader of the free world.
