After the elaborate ceremonies that took place in Washington the last couple of days, it is now down to business.
We can now see Obama's most important issues to him be put into action. It will be interesting to see what Obama can actually push through.
Today in his speech he talked about his critics who say he can't possibly do everything he promised. But he believed he can, and he cited the America of the past. It is going to take a united effort from everyone to move this country forward.
In other news, Obama really is important on the international stage. My girlfriend is studying abroad in Rome, Italy, at John Cabot University, an American University in Rome. Today they asked 20 students to come on the Italian version of "Larry King" to talk about the Obama inauguration. Everyone around the world is interested and intrigued by an Obama administration. Hopefully this newfound confidence will help America's image across the world and help us get things done globally.
In this new day and age, as the world is becoming flatter and flatter, that will be very important. We have to be the leaders in helping out Third World countries, helping to end genocide and spreading messages of peace and prosperity to all.
