Obama speaks 9:10 p.m.



Obama addresses the nation for the first time as elected president. He said all the right things of course. He said he's going to help the economy, he said he's going to help with our health care, he addressed the troops over seas and showed support, told a heart warming story about a 114 year old black woman who voted and has seen numerous historic events in her life, and promised his daughters a new puppy.

So it seems that Barack Obama is going to be the best president ever. If anything, he is one damn good and convincing speaker.

If there's anything that I think we can expect, it is Obama seeking acceptance from those who doubt him. I hope that means he will fight to do great things right away.

I hope this speech won't be his last good speech, and I hope that he doesn't lose steam in the down time between now and January.

You can hear passion in his voice. Passion for good change, and I hope that in holding this position he doesn't lose this passion.

He was chosen to lead for a reason. It is no coincidence that Obama is in this position.

When Jackie Robinson changed the way things work in baseball, he wasn't chosen just because of his skills and abilities, he was chosen because he had IT.

What is IT?

Jackie Robinson had IT. He had the positive mindset to take criticism. He had the strength to accept being in a difficult position and still succeeding. He had IT, and Obama has IT as well.

If Obama doesn't lose IT, our country should be in good hands. However, if he loses IT there might be a reason for worry.
