Making It In America

It is always a little unsettling when a new president takes the reins.  The promises were all there; the ideals all explained, but what would our reality be….  As I said, I watched President Obama’s swearing in ceremony and wondered what direction our country would move in.  What kind of leader will he turn out to be?  Is he the great, non-politician type guy, the down-to-earth man that so many take him to be?  Needless to say, I have been full of questions that I thought it would take time to answer.  Today, they were all answered for me!

It seems that the Cuban leader, Raul Castro, feels that Obama seems like a nice guy.  He also received praise from Fidel Castro saying that he doesn’t doubt Obama’s honesty and that he “believes in Obama.”  Whew,  I feel so relieved that men from a country that deny many freedoms to their people, leaders of a country that many have had to escape from, think that our new president is an okay guy.   What else is there to say?

Seriously, President Obama didn’t ask for their support.  With the comments of goodwill, may Obama say thank you and then proceed during what is best for the American nation.  Only time will, indeed, tell.
