Turning A New Page In History

Today is historic, there is no doubt about that. The first non-"European-white-male" in the history of our nation was sworn in as it's 44th president. To me, what is even more telling of our time, is some of the things that took place in and around the swearing in ceremony. For example, as still at the time, President Bush arrived at the Dias, a crowd of totally classless, ignorant, disrespectful people were chanting like they were at a football game, singing, "Nah nah nah nah, hey hey, good-bye,". I believe I could safely bet a month's salary that 95% of these participants could not tell you the names of their Senator or Representative. Is this the caliber of people who elected our new president? I wonder if this is representative of the level of social conscience that determined our exiting president should have an approval rating of under 25%? If so, This scares me, and should scare you. I truly wish Obama the best. We need something to rally around. We need this country to come together and feel good about itself. We need the rest of the world to feel good about us, the U.S. But if Obama was elected on the merits of idiots like those at the following link [http://www.wjno.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?feed=244038&article=4878923] then we don't have much to feel good about starting off this administration. I hope these types of behavior are the bottom of the barrel, and things climb steadily upward from this day forth.
