I drive a lot--somewhere right around 158.6 miles per day. And while I drive, I tend to listen to AM radio every time that I forget my Ipod on the corner of my desk (read every other day). AM radio is all about politics and while I enjoy a good politician bashing now and then, today I started to wonder.
We watched President Obama's inagurual address today in class (read I watched President Obama's innaugural address today in class while my students slept), and I was pretty impressed. The guy can put on one heck of a speech, I'll give him that much. I found myself standing behind him as he spoke, wishing for a greater America, praying for a better world. Somethings got to change and this is the guy that we have to lead the change, so here's to hoping.
But...the AM pundits continue their bashing. What's the point? The democratic process has completed another cycle and now we should unite behind our chose leader. Become better people. Become a better nation. Shouldn't we?
Good luck Mr. President. I want to be a lot of things when I grow up, but President will never be one of them. Good luck President Obama. I'm with you man.
