My thoughts on inauguration day.

This might be the most historic day in modern American history.
Regardless of political beliefs, it is a wonderful day to be an American.

I started volunteering at the national headquarters of Obama for America on April 11, 2007. (Here is a post from my first day - wish I had kept blogging about it!) Winning the primary, let alone the election, was beyond a long shot. However, the energy in the office was palpable.

Senator Obama wanted a number Americans could call and talk to a real person. I became one of the people who answered. Often three-days a week I would leave my office for a three-hour shift. The call center started out as 4 phones; by election night rooms were filled with people on the phone.

In a few short hours, as he takes the oath of office, the Obama honeymoon will be over. While we are all still enjoying it, I thought Id share my very small part in this very large day.

Good for you that's what makes America so great, the right to believe in what we choose!

No one is saying it's going to be utopia, not by any stretch but it is going to be better than Bush. No matter what Obama will *never* measure up to the hype. I am ok w/that.
