The new hope
As I watch the inauguration with my baby boy on this important day in history, I know he has been born into a time of new hope for this country. Derek's life began on the day Obama was elected president of the United States. I voted absentee from the hospital to participate in that historic event. And now Derek is witnessing the hope become a reality. Some day he'll understand the legacy that Obama has brought to our country, and how Derek is a part of that legacy. May Derek contribute to the future of America as he grows into a man and into a proud citizen of the U.S.A.! 5 comments from 5 users

Not to belittle the awesome privelege and joy of your childs entrance into this world, but yes, he WILL understand the legacy of Obama, because he and his childrens children will be the ones footing the bill! There's no such thing as a free lunch. posted by

To be fair, the bill was run up rather high by the Bush administration as well. posted by

The Obama groupies really scare me. I wish President Obama well to do a good job; and think this whole frenzy will settle down once reality hits. posted by

I have never been frightened by happy people. Angry or belligerent mobs are a different story.
