My first true Obama moment

I just walked into the Bank of America on 17th and 5th. As usual, they

were showing CNN on their lobby TV. Normally I would have walked right

by without a thought. Today though, I stopped to see the "breaking

news".

 

President Obama - after 24 hours in office - was announcing how this

new administration will be transparent. No secrecy. Accountability.

Following the rule of law (!). Plus, no one on the White House staff

will have a salary more than $100k. My stomach sank as I *truly*

realized - HOLY SHIT have these past eight years been bad!

 

I started clapping and looked around - everyone in the bank had

gathered around the TV, all with an expression of "Wow" on their

faces. It's really happening. This change shit is *really* happening!

 

I felt for the first time the true depth of change this president will

bring to our country. I didn't get teary-eyed in election night or

even during the inauguration yesterday. Yet today - watching this man

in action - has moved me to the point of sending a gushy email to my

friends and family.

 

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! CHANGE!!!!

 

Love always, Lilli
