The World Watched

Published by juriathe under Uncategorized Edit This

We watched as another President was sworn in.  Nothing so new to us, in America; in The US to be more specific, yet I was awed today, not in just sharing the joy and hope his election brings, but from my friends online, who watched the Inaugeration with me.   A woman in Switzerland, in the banking sector, told me her job let out early so they could watch.  Australia watched; Germany; England; France……  does it awe you to realize that it seems the ENTIRE world watched Mr. Obama swear in ?   This isn’t just for us, people … it’s also for the World.  That magnitude never sank in on me until today.  I never considered it, really.   I knew we had some we admired, despite their troubles, some we tolerated and were glad to see gone; now it seems, one we will adore.   I wish him all that is good; I hope he is as good as he seems.  We needed a strong leader for so long; I think we found one.
