I hope he lives up to all the promotion…
I wonder if we are not setting him up to be someone impossible to actually be.
I think your post is neat Bossy. I love to see people in good anticipation of a upcoming change- or hopeful change. But, I just wonder to myself if we are making an idol out of a man who hasn’t done anything for our country yet hasn’t proven himself yet.
I want him to be great, but I fear we are thinking him a deity before any testament has been unvailed.

January 17, 2009 at 4:20 pmGo Barack, go! And go Bossy and Bossy’s mother, too! Wave to him from all of us too far away!

January 17, 2009 at 4:47 pmThat is soooo cool! I think it’s awesome that he’s doing that and following the same route as Lincoln did. What a moment in time.

January 17, 2009 at 5:14 pmWhat Martha from Kansas said, only Linda from Nevada. For the first (and, possibly, only) time, I regret moving from the DC area!

January 17, 2009 at 6:45 pmNow he’s on his way to Nanny Garcia and Vuboq’s stomping grounds. Too bad I’m too scared to leave the house during the inauguration.
Joie says
January 17, 2009 at 7:51 pmYou are too dang cool for words. Next week is going to be the best week in at least 8 years, I think even more than that.

January 18, 2009 at 9:04 pmI couldn’t agree more with Dee. She wrote what I’ve been thinking.
He’s not a Rock Star. He’s not a Movie Star. Quit treating him like he’s some Hero.
Ree (the other one) says
January 18, 2009 at 10:39 pmI was watching on television and looking, intently, for Bossy and her family!
