It IS a great day to be an American and a friend of yours . . . even though I ENCOURAGED you to take that thankless job so many years ago :) Aren't we so lucky to have many special memories . . . like the one today with Shannon being so brave in honor of our dear friend Martha . . . and we all got to be a part of it.

I could feel the excitement and pride in the air. There were moments when tears came to my eyes because other people were so visibly moved. After eight years of hell with an idiot in the White House, it's hard to believe that this is all real. And just hearing Obama speak - what a relief to have someone who can think and talk at the same time, instead of that bumbling fool who made me cringe every time I heard him speak!Susie of Arabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315336613944665651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552211005830706412.post-21570647180078810642009-01-21T13:18:00.000-07:002009-01-21T13:18:00.000-07:00I couldn't agree more!

We watched yesterday at school as well...however that was after the staff was in an uproar about the principal originally saying No. Political views aside it was an important day historically and I am glad that students were able to witness this as part of their day. I am very proud to be an American and to have a leader that inspires people!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659182280941661038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552211005830706412.post-82597428318406155572009-01-20T21:57:00.000-07:002009-01-20T21:57:00.000-07:00I was amazed at how the students in my room reacte...I was amazed at how the students in my room reacted. Thank you for allowing them to watch this wonderful moment. We had prompts to look for certain themes, promises, gestures and more. We all stood and sang the Stars Bangled Banner with all of America. I was thrilled at the discussion afterward and what the minds of 9 and 10 year olds heard and saw that I didn't. I'm proud to be an American.Meagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680729223481259677noreply@blogger.com
