I think I speak for many people all over the world when I say that I am so unbelievably hopeful at this time in American history. The last 8 years seemed to be one disappointment after another. Perhaps disappointment is too light a word. It was a time that I wasn’t proud to be living in this country.
It is a great testament to the people that we were able to recognize how low we had gotten as a country and make a drastic change. Although Obama has a huge job in dragging this country out of an economic, political, healthcare, and environmental crisis, I think he’s up for the job.
I am especially hopeful that he will make strides towards renewable energy. To me, one of the saddest moments was when Ronald Reagan tore down the solar panels from the White House that Jimmy Carter had installed. I’m crossing my fingers that the Obamas put them back up!
