President Obama's Inauguration 2013

One thing that I was really excited about this January of 2013 is the second inauguration of Barack Obama. It was beyond the natural norm of how I excited I would usually be because it was set on the date of Martin Luther King Day. I just thought that the date represented and the events that took place was amazing. It makes you think that maybe we have changed a little as a society as a whole, which is comforting and amazing.

Though I am not a person that is obsessively into politics and know every aspect of every issue or the many accomplishments of President Obama (in actuality, I am the least person you can ask about politics), I feel a sense of pride that he is our president. I have a great admiration for our president. I can honestly say I am proud of him as a person. When he speaks, I immediately listen. His tone of voice draws you in and fills your heart with hope. His smile warms your spirits and reinforces his beliefs of change in this country. I also love the way he loves his wife, Michelle Obama.

I know it may seem I have a crush on President Obama; I really don't. I just really applaud his faith in humanity.
