WELCOME BACK, AMERICA! I MISSED YOU!

As I continue to ponder the inauguration and decipher President Obama's words I realize how much they mean not only to America but to the world. Some people were happy just because the Bush administration was ending but it is more than that. President Obama promises a departure from the old ways, a new beginning. He seems to accept his ability to change and empower the whole world. And so much of what he said was left unsaid....echoes of leaders before him, memories of well-fought battles and a vision of America that includes all of us.
