Yet again, the weather folks got it wrong. We were supposed to have a snow shower and the inches are adding up. My community service project will have to occur on another day.
Being home, I've been granted the space to reflect. Our national nightmare is almost over. W will return to civilian life, no longer in a position to work through his unresolved issues at the expense of our country.
Lord only knows how long and how many resources it will take to correct the mess created in the last eight years. Maybe the grown ups will stand up and assist Obama manage our country. Will there be a return to civility that was lost after Bush 41 left office? God, I hope so.
The Clintons arrival to DC was never accepted, the hicks from Hope. The insanity began before Bubba took the oath of office. His inability to be disciplined and her codependency did not help the situation.
I must give W credit, he single handily created an activist citizenry. There were civic discussions. Some civil, others not so much. People were engaged. We, as a community, no longer ignored the elephant in the room, our prejudices and racist tendencies.
Our work as citizens has just begun. We have to do better. We have to be responsible. If you are making $40K you can't afford a $700k house. If you can't afford something, maybe you should wait. Is saving for a big screen TV so bad? Do you really need a new car every three years?
We managed to get over ourselves. We listened to message and did not get stuck on the pigmentation of the messenger.
Thank God, Obama did not know his place and wait his turn. Thank God, he is reaching out to everyone. Concept? A President of the United States, not just a base.
While bouncing around Tuscany, I a sense of being an AMERICAN, not an African-American.
Maybe, Bush should have spent more time outside our wonderful borders to get a better appreciation of the wonders of us.
We have once again, transitioned power without bloodshed. How many countries can reflect on their histories and boast this?
W hop on your bike and ride into the sunset..... you were and continue to be a failure.
May God forgive you...

In the long term, our descent into the abyss may make us a better country. I think we all learned some valuable lessons.
I know I am a better citizen for what I learned about war and torture and human nature in the past eight years. It can't happpen in America. But it did. We all have a little bit of Hitler in us and the Bushies knew it, and they knew how to expoit it. Time for a humble apology to the rest of the world.
Amen...
