I have to admit, I have not had so much fun with politics in years. In fact, despite the fact that I worked for two Congressmen in the past, I don't know that I have ever had so much fun with politics!
In just a few short weeks we have experienced a drastic change in cultural, political and economic attitude and nothing substantial has changed. I have experienced an overwhelming sense of cross cultural connections and new bonds that are being created in the effort to achieve a common goal. I am amazed that we are now hearing of both Republican and Democratic joined efforts to work together and expedite passage of legislation after years of hearing of Bill's that likely will not pass because of disagreement on how they should be structured. Most importantly, I am finally hearing a sigh of relief stating that we may have hit bottom and that things will begin to turn around.
It is amazing what a figure of hope can bring to our overall outlook. President Obama has not come in and waved a magic wand. In fact, he has not signed all that many Executive Orders (which I have to admit I half expected). What he has done, however, is build our confidence by effectively communicating his plans, promising transparency of government and going straight to work!
