Its a new day for the United States of America

So today is the first day at work for new President Barack Obama (I consider yesterday a half day, and the work he did was predominantly eating, walking and dancing at balls) and America rejoices. Finally we have the President in charge who the country voted for over two months ago (surely delaying the inauguration until the 20th of January made sense when people were travelling across the US on horse and cart but in the age of the interweb and Pop-Tarts why can't the new guy/gal start on the 20th of November, or better still the 6th!) and now he can get to work righting the ship that was the USS Bush's Fu*k up.

Having Obama in charge is reassuring for many reasons (some of which I will list below):
1. He actually wants to do the job. Bush has been phoning it in for the last 18 months, I think he saw the whole election as more of a transition period.
2. The war/s may end sooner and fewer of America's soldiers will be killed.
3. Obama is a man who will listen during cabinet meetings and wont be so distracted by his own excitement for the chocolate milk he has stored in the fridge.
4. Nor will Obama be coloring-in whilst Biden is talking.
5. The economy will be made a top priority and wont be allowed to sink further into the crapper (woohoo! people can work again).
6. The nation can be excited again. Just look at the inauguration, millions of people came to the capital from all over the country, not just to see Oprah, Denzel or Aretha (was it just me or was her singing a bit off?), but rather to see a brighter future embodied in one individual.
...146. HE IS NOT GEORGE W. BUSH! Or any other member of the Bush cabal.
As I said America rejoices!
