Inaguration day.
I did not vote for our President. I had the privilege as an American to watch the inauguration today. I am firmly behind our new President and I think he has the right idea to get things going. He has a task coming from him at many angles. I believe he has the ability to put the people that are needed in the positions to handle these tasks. I hope that the spirit of hatred that has been around US and Washington will go away and once again we can march forward as Americans. Two million people standing in the cold waving an American flag cannot be wrong. I think that the road blocks and the indecision has been brought about and fostered by my part(Republicans) and I expect them to raise above this and work for solutions and not signs to had out tell everybody they are wrong. I hope we can dig a deep hole and burry once and for all the”Old Guard” like Newt G. and come up with some new blood that will lead us. We have been told to give the party the leads and they will take care of it. We did and their accomplishments were dismal. We reelected them again and they spent more,accomplished less than previous Congress.So they were swept out of office this last time and stood there scratching their head wondering were everybody went. Congress do what it take to help the economy grow not the fat cat bankers and insurance companies. Get the economy so we can build houses,buildings, roads. Then there will be jobs for those plus jobs for the people making and servicing products used by all.
Get this nation off the idea we have to grow corn from sea to shiny sea. All this does is make the cost of other comodities go up causing the grain miller, the animal feeders, and all connected to pay more. Example the price of wheat and soybeans. What good is it doing if the plants for ethonal are not built and if they are they are going bancrupt. What good is it if they produce a fuel that all we hear about how it doesn’t perform well in the winter time. Listen to Mr Pickens and harness the wind, sun, and natural gas that we have an abundace of. Lets spend some money for fuel cell technology. Lets spend some money that will pay back in better use of our fuel sources and not send the money overseas to our enemies so they can fortify against us. Yes they are all our enemys in the Gulf. They pat us on the back and then go out and do atrosities towards their people and to us and when we say anything the look back with a smile and a sword behind their back.
Finally I am so proud to be an American. I am proud of the work my children and family are doing and have done to make the world a better place. To the many family that work in Corrections, to the nephew who served 23 years in the Navy. To my son in the National Guard and training along with a cousin to be in law enforcement. To my Daughter how wants to make a positive impact in the entertainment industry. To the teachers in the family, the case workers the moms. they all are doing what needs to be done to leave a mark to make a change to make America a better place to live.
Thank you for stopping and reading my post. I will look forward to comments. May this day God look down on favor for each and every one of us. Take care….. Papabear.
Yes!!!!
Today was the first day in a long time that I am able to say again that I am proud to be an American. I haven’t been able to say that in a very long time. I love how even though your candidate didn’t win, you’re willing to belive in him despite party lines. I am seeing many of my friends do that and it warms my heart. Thank you for posting this. I am going to encourage my friends to read this too.
Love,
Megan

Hello World and Papabear.
I am very impressed with what my big brother is doing.
To actually see him printing his thoughts in a public place is daring.
To know the family is to understand this content.
My brother and sister in law have done one hell of a job raising three very upstanding children and they are all part of the american dream.
