I started a blog on the day of the inauguration but didn't have the opportunity to post it. This was a memorable day in history when Barack Obama took his solemn oaths and became America's 44th president. Many of us shared tears of joy and felt the passion in our hearts as we watched the inauguration and listened to the powerful speech Barack made. I believe Martin Luther King's famous quote "I Have a Dream" resonates with America's new president. I love this picture in front of the Martin Luther King Center! How powerful and awesome is that?
We talked about February being the month of Passion and Valentine's Day. I wanted to talk about a man who is passionate about life and I couldn't resist this exclusive interview (below) on NBC with President Obama.
His passion for his family, his beautiful wife Michelle, his beautiful daughters Malia and Sasha, his love of sports and football as he talks about the American tradition of the Sugar Bowl; thanking the troops who are away from their families and serving their country. His passions are so real, it is almost like having a real conversation with him in your living room!
He shares his feelings of his mother-in-law who lives with them in the White House and the fact that his mother-in-law supports him when Michelle comes down hard on him. Who shares this information honestly with the public today in the political environment? Wow! What a refreshing new and awesome beginning of a new era for all of us, with a leader who truly leads and inspires others to step up and be responsible in our lives.
He is a person who we can talk to, believe in and know he will do the best for his country and the people.
This is an amazing family and I am thankful that he is the President of the United States. Below is a great picture of the family traveling from their house in Hyde Park, Chicago and returning to their new home, the White House on Air Force One.
So, in the midst of the challenges we currently are all aware of and doing our best to keep these in perspective, he speaks honestly and openly, providing us with a guiding light and a role model to follow and can you imagine that, a politician who is really a leader and a role model. He inspires us all to walk our talk and regardless of what is going around us to just do it! Like Nike says - and step up to leadership.
