As everyone knows yesterday our nation welcomed in Obama as our new President, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to explain what the President does and represents to our country to my 5-year old. I thought he got it as I put it in pretty basic terms appropriate to his age. Later when I was watching the inauguration he came in the room, looked at the TV and said, "So has God came on yet?" I could take this a few ways. Maybe I failed to explain it right, maybe I slipped in the word God somewhere (not likely), or just maybe his little 5-year-old brain translated my various explanations (leader of the country,helper of the United States, a man to help our world get healthy) into something only God could do! Some of you may be thinking that is the case. Maybe my 5-year-old has a point, no I don't believe Obama is God, but maybe it is that kind of faith and hope that Americans need to have to help build our country up again. As one announcer stated, we are on the precipice of hope and change. As I stated before I hope for a positive change in the country for my children's future and I believe with a good leader and/or "God/Obama" I think we have a pretty excellent chance!
