As I watched the inauguration today and saw how many people battled the freezing weather to be part of "history" I almost got swept away by the sight of all those people with their hopes up and tears in their eyes looking up to the new president as if he was their savior. Here are some of my thoughts about the things that happened today:
For once as a non- citizen I found it strange that another country celebrated alongside with the USA that one of their "sons" took office. As talented as he might be in the political field, he is not a natural born citizen ( defined as: born on american soil with both american parents with no ties to other governments) and that disqualifies him for the office he just took over.
For othe ther he is my husbands new boss now and that troubles me a bit. I must say it looked awfully akward when he returned the salute of some military folks in the parade and the familliar HOOOAH he was greeted with at the military ball was unaswared as well. We won't to get to see him in Uniform, since he never served in the military over whom he now has the full power and responsibility. But his plans are to allow gay and lesbians to openly serve this country in the future - a decision that might force many service members to get out. The military is different - it has to...those guys out there have to worry about their mission and not weather someone is checking them out in the shower. It will also open a can of worms weather gay or lesbian couples get housing benefits, can donate blood, live together, be afraid of getting beat up etc.
As a third many said that Martin Luther King would be proud today - but as far as I know he was against abortion. It is known now that our new President is for it and wants to double funding for the forced abortions in china.
I don't mean no disrespect. He is the head of the country and my husbands boss. But I pray that his actions will be for the greater good and in line with Gods will. Amen
