When I voted last November I left my polling location excited to be part of the American political process. I may not necessarily be happy with the outcome of the presidential election but the process worked—the person most people wanted to be the president won.
President Obama was rightfully elected the President of the United States of America. He is not the president of the liberals; he is the president of the United States. President Obama isn't even close to my choice for president however he is my President and I will respect the mantel.
Because I'm an American, President Obama is my president and I will support him but I will not support him to the point of sacrificing my values. I will not be like the whiners that complained about everything President Bush did just because they didn't like him. If there is a policy I disagree with I will talk about the policy I will not sink to the level of people for the last eight years and attack the person.
We (Alan & I) got to go to the musical Chess. It was our second time seeing it, the first time was in Georgia and it wasn’t great . . . or even that good. The production in Atlanta was more about the performance (which somehow included ballet) than the story. The UVU performance was amazing. We loved it! Tonight’s performance was well told, well performed, and they sang a lot of the songs from the original soundtrack (not in the order that I am used to, but in the order for this version of the story). I felt like a groupie being moved to tears partially because I was seeing the songs performed for the first time.
