I am soooo proud of President-elect Obama for making good on his campaign promise to be inclusive and celebrate diversity. Yesterday he announced that an openly gay band will play at his inauguration. How cool is that? I still recall the opening words of his Victory speech on Nov. 4th:
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
"It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America."
That makes me incredibly proud of him--and of us for electing him.
This shop even has the Obama gay logo in several varations of Obama Christmas ornaments. Enjoy!
Are you tired of turkey yet? Not possible for me. :) I'm ready to move on to decorating for Christmas--something I love to do every year. I am so excited about our new president, that I'm going to do a Barack Obama themed Christams tree this year! My favorite Obama ornaments have come from this online store--very cool!
The ornaments are durable and very colorful. Plus they make great gifts at holiday parties...or door prizes or a secret santa gift (assuming you know the recipient is a fan!!!)
Enjoy your last pieces of pumpkin pie!
