Is tonight the inauguration? The pain is relieved for the love of politcal correctness. It may be temporary though.
The inauguration is on the 20th,however I would not pin my hopes on any drastic changes immediately with this new administration,the old one was in there for eight years and it's going to take time to make any changes but I think we're all hopeful,I myself am going to wait,watch, and see what transpires.osay

This reminds me of a story that I heard once.
There was once a boy in a village who got a new bicycle for his birthday. Since such luxuries were rare in the village, everyone was delighted for the boy. However, the elder Zen master in the village was skeptical about the benefits of such a gift when queried: "We shall wait and see how good a gift this bicycle is."
Now. One day as the boy was cycling through the village another boy who was jealous of him, his shiny new bike, and his general air of pompousness, threw a stone at the wheel of his bike. The boy subsequently lost control of the bike, careened into a tree stump and broke both his legs. Everyone in the village thought this to be a terrible eventuality. They scolded and punished the boy who threw the stone and cajoled and comforted the boy who had fallen off his bike.
Yet everyone was amazed at the Zen master and his wisdom so, they sought his consult once more on these developments. "We shall wait and see how bad an accident this is for both boys."
Some villagers were unsure about the Zen master's actual wisdom due to the similarity in semantics between his two statements. However, soon after a War broke out between the tribe in the village and nearby tribes. The boy who had fallen off his bike was unable to go to War as both his legs were broken. The boy who had thrown the stone was compelled to go to War.
He returned as a corpse.
Nobody in the village ever questioned the Zen master's wisdom again.
So to quote this wise Zen master, we shall see what Obama brings, let's give him the benefit of the doubt until them and hope for the best!
Love and Lighty!
