I Feel So Good!


And I just had to say it. It is no dream or a West Wing drama that just happened on teevee. It's real. I'm awake now and I feel so different. So clean. So proud. So American.

  1. I have a happiness hangover. Three days of celebration has left me exhausted and rung out. After a good nights sleep and I'll be ready for the trials to begin.

  2. It is a happy feeling. But it's also an overwhelming feeling. It's so overwhelming to the older black generation that they are having difficulty putting two sentences together past "I never thought I would live to see this." I'm having difficulty describing this happiness and profound gratefulness that I see in their eyes and in their heart. But I'll keep trying.

  6. Was it just me or did anyone else see Dan Quayle at the inauguration? I swear I saw him and his wife on television walk onto the platform. Talk about a blast from the past and a huge question that if we could rewind the last eight to twelve years and put Danny into the White House would he have been as bad a president as W?
    I know I really need to stop thinking about such things and get a life.

  8. Beach, when Quayle was VP, my dad said, "Bush picked Quayle as VP because he's not too bright and reminds Bush Sr. of his son." My dad always comes up with this nuggets of political wisdom.

    I didn't understand what he meant at the time. That's an interesting "What if" question.
