His wife was far, far, more progressive than he was.<br />And LBJ, great as he was, got us more deeply mired in Vietnam, and in the end, on top of our own dead and wounded, affected, or ended, the lives of millions in that region.<br />And that “war” neatly stopped the nations progress on a whole lot of issues, allowing for right wing backlash – politically, and economically.<br /> <br />Today, was historic. We reelected our first non-white President, and today, he was inaugurated.<br /> <br />Obama gave a terrific Inaugural Address, tying Selma to Stonewall, and used the word “Gay” for the first time, in an address. He gave a dig to Romney and Ryan, by mentioning that we’re not a nation of ‘takers.’ And, even ‘Climate Change’ got a shout-out. YAY! <br /><br />It was a wonderful ceremony. And I cried from the time the choirs started singing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” until the end of the benediction – though, I’d appreciate less ‘battles,’ and less religion and hymns.<br /> <br />We have a lot to be thankful for.<br /> <br />Romney and Ryan weren’t up there. Barack and Joe were.<br /> <br />And, if the Republicans ‘fever’ is, to any extent, breaking, as it appears to be, it’s President Barack Hussein Obama who may prove, not only to be the cause, but the cure.<br /> <br />Maybe, for too many, we are progressing too slowly. I sometimes feel that way, too.<br /> <br />But, at least this President is helping us move forward. <br />As MLK Jr. said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice…”<br /><br />And Barack Hussein Obama is helping it to bend in that direction.<br /> <br />He, and we, have a lot of work ahead of us.<br />Let’s enjoy today.<br />Back to working on our future, tomorrow.<br />Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-72800401889261309722013-01-21T15:39:23.723-05:002013-01-21T15:39:23.723-05:00Agree with everything you said.
