First, happy birthday Alli. 32 years ago our mother was in labor with you as Jimmy Carter was inaugurated as president. I'm sorry she wasn't here today for your birthday and for the inauguration of Barack Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama is our president. Words really can't describe how I feel about this. I was in eighth grade, 14 years old, when Bush became president, and over the next eight years I changed so much. I became an adult, a real woman with political opinions, and they were shaped during the Bush administration. Bush leaving office feels like an end of an era not just for the country, but for me personally. But I'm excited about the future with Obama. I had a hand in his election, donating money to his campaign and voting for him, and I'm ready to see him as president. I'm ready to find out what changes he can bring for the nation, and I'm ready to see how I change over the course of his presidency.
