If this old addage, (actually biblical in nature) is true then the United States is in for a wonderful four years. Yes, I know there are many of my regular readers that are scratching their heads and saying, “wait a minute, you did not support the election of President Obama.” To you, I say, you are right. I did not. But, that does not mean that it is the man that is the problem. It was and is the many things surrounding him. I still do not support many of his ideas. He has his reasons, and I have mine. You see there are those of us who are capable of disagreeing with someone, refusing to vote for someone, and still finding honorable things about that someone.
To the point: If it is true that the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, then we are in for a wonderful four, possibly eight years. If President Obama is a reflection of his daughters and they him, then all will be well. President and Michelle Obama have done a beautiful job thus far with creating a sense of balance for their daughters. (I realize much of the credit must go to Michelle’s mother, as she is very influential.)
No matter what anyone says about President Obama we can all agree that this past week has been a beautiful one. To see the precious First Family stand before the nation (a fine representation of the American family).
Anyone who knows American History must have felt a deep sigh as we saw the American dream unfold. To see Sasha tugging adoringly on her mother’s dress, and Malia wrestling to get her camera out of her coat pocket to capture the moment. To see beautiful brown skin reflecting the sun’s rays, and color, yes, vibrant green, orange, blue, red as opposed to the prestine sedate colors of the past, it was a new day in Washington.
While I do not agree with all of the policies of our current President, I am praying for his Presidency and the first family. We have witnessed freedom in its ultimate glory, and we have witnessed the “American family” standing side by side, hand in hand.
Now I know why President Obama said he did it for his daughters.
God Bless!
more to do list entries tomorrow!
