I know it is after the fact, but today I finally created my profile. Over the past year and a half, I have jumping on and off of the blog. I am usually shy and that is why it took me about 3 to 4 months before I ever posted. When someone needed to be encouraged, soothed, or debated I would put in my two cents. I didn't have a lot to contribute but it felt when I could. I feel passionately about BO--Have since 2004 Democratic National Convention. I thought je's not only inspirational, he's intelligent, honest, and has wisdom from life experience. I really am in awe of the man and his amazing wife Michelle. Honestly, Michelle(with the kids in the background) sold me. A man smart enough to recognize a strong brilliant woman is nothing to sneeze at. His stance on the war matched mine. His credentials were stunning, community organizer, Harvard Law grad(president of the Law Review), State Senator, and then Senator. Pretty impressive. Okay, he isn't just a pretty face this guy has mettle. Well, I started to tell everyone I knew...Watch out for this Barack Obama...he's gonna be president one day. I silly enough to believe that he needed a little "seasoning", but his time was impeccable. He decided to run!!!!! To anyone who would listen I talked about BO. I bought the T's, caps, cups...whatever. I was a little stunned when people didn't believe in him as I(in fact, I was a little offended). But I pressed on....I converted family, friends, co-workers, strangers etc. Every beating heart was a potential. I dropping BO's name in every conversation, every e-mail, you name it the subject of BO for president came up for 2 years. I think those close to me thought I had lost it. My kids said I was addicted to blog even though I hadn't posted yet. My kids know I can be obsessed but they had seen nothing like this. I think I convince everyone I knew with the help of BO and his policies to vote for him. I couldn't reach one of my Republican co-workers but after the election we talked and we agreed that no matter what he would support the BO as POTUS. Wait, there's more. He jokingly said after PEBO started assembling his cabinet, "Looks like Obama isn't such a radical after all". Of course, I had to correct and tell him only Palin and the crazy conservatives believed that and I know he wasn't one of Them and we both laughed. Already I could see that change was happening(Okay, maybe I'm being too optimistic and idealistic). For I know how hurt I would be if BO had loss(curse the thought). Sometimes I wonder if I could have said the same to him. Thank goodness I did have to be tested.
Well this is my first blog...After the fact!
