A new perspective

First of all... can I just say .... WOO HOO!!! I paid $1.88 for gas yesterday!!! fifty bucks put me up to 3/4!!!! HORRAY!!! ... ok, I don't know how many of you watched, but Obama made his first press conference as President-ELECT yesterday. (I missed the last ten minutes of my soap opera, but I suppose I won't miss anything anyway). I must say.... there was a part of it... (I only watched like ten minutes of it) that I was supprisingly impressed with the man. His speech was much less eloquent than those of his campain. He actually seemed nervous. When it came time for the reporters to start asking questions, many of them were quick to jump to "what are you going to do as far as... (for example) the economy, the war, whatever..." his reply, was : There is only one President of the United States, and right now, that's not me.
My jaw dropped. For him to be so self-centered, almost cocky during his pre-election days, and to put it so plainly and straight forward. Giving ol' George the respect he deserves, if only for the title he holds until January, I was - dare I say - impressed. I have said many bad things about Obama, but as a proud citizen of this country, I will have to change my perspective of him and pray that God's will be done. It was said that the president of Iran sent Obama a congratulary (sp?) note ..... I'm sure the Iranian president would feel more comfortable communicating with and maybe heeding warnings of a black man than an old hick from Texas...
