President Obama's speech today

It rocked. I don't have any more words to express my feelings !!

How often did a politician talk and I got goosebumps?

How often did a leader talk and I got confidence?

How often did a head of a nation talk and I got to nod my head saying 'YES' ?

Today I did. I am happy that Obama is the President of the USA.

History will tell one day that President Obama was the greatest.

History will tell the story about the recession of the 21st century and how we came out of it.

History was 'Live' today...I watched it on CNN.

Make History - If your nation is going to dogs...wake up !!

God bless America and the world !

Pres.Obama - Hats off Sir !

How many 'Heads of State' can you count who have accepted their screwups? I applaud President Obama for what he did today. This speaks volumes about what kind of person the President is.

That aside, I am shocked at the tax problems of Mr.Geithner, Mr.Daschle and Ms. Killefer. I as an ordinary citizen do my taxes sincerely...but these guys .....what can I say. I am glad Mr.Daschle and Ms.Killefer dropped out.

I hope the President is more careful with his future nominees for top positions. Basics like tax evasions have to be scrutinized more thoroughly before considering nominations.

Another victim of the economic meltdown. I was shocked to hear about 'Elephant Pharmacy' abruptly closing all its stores today. I've heard a lot of good things about the pharmacy, especially in 'Holistic Medicine'. Sad to see them go !

Obama ASAP Please !

The economy is in a pathetic shape crying for help. I see it everywhere around. Job market is scary. The shops / malls are not crowded at all !! Bad news everywhere.

Fairfield has lost quite a few businesses: Linens and things, Mervyn's, Circuit City to name a few. I hope it doesn't become a ghost town.

That said, I found this wonderful piece by my favorite Tom Friedman in NY Times today. Reflects exactly my thoughts !! Here is an excerpt:

Now you know why I don’t get invited out for dinner much these days. If I had my druthers right now we would convene a special session of Congress, amend the Constitution and move up the inauguration from Jan. 20 to Thanksgiving Day. Forget the inaugural balls; we can’t afford them. Forget the grandstands; we don’t need them. Just get me a Supreme Court justice and a Bible, and let’s swear in Barack Obama right now — by choice — with the same haste we did — by necessity — with L.B.J. in the back of Air Force One.
