Showing Original Post only (View all)I Just Cried [View all]
Like a baby watching Vice President Joe Biden being sworn in. I cried because it just hit me, we escaped watching that dangerous other guy from being sworn in instead. I am so proud of Joe Biden. He really is deserving of his office.
I also cried because of Sotomayor. As a Hispanic myself, what a great honor and avcomplisment this moment was for million of us. I don't know her but seeing her there felt like if it was me up there.
With all its faults and disagrement we may have amongst each other, what an amazing country we live in!
God bless this incredible land.
