Well It’s over… Or just beginning?

After a year or more, of political bullshit we finally have a new President. 

I was happy to see the Obamas leaving the White House, I was also heartened to hear President Trump hadn’t changed his tune. 

For good or bad at least he’s remained constant and isn’t yet worried about being PC.

Him calling out ISIS, and political corruption in Washington DC,  in practically the same breath was amazing. 

I’m sure that scored him some enemies on both sides of the aisle.

I didn’t see his speech as “dark” as has been endlessly reported by much of the media. I saw it as a politician being consistent and I must agree that those two problems need to be at the top of the priority list for the country. I agree with the President 100% that we absolutely must address our aging infrastructure and education. 

I enjoyed watching him sign the first paperwork. 

His grandchildren helping him with the pens was cute and he appeared to be the doting grandfather. For me, that humanized him more. 

I’m still not sure if he’s going to be a good President, but I’m willing to give him the same break, and benefit of the doubt that I gave President Obama when he took office.

Only time will tell if President Trump will be good for the country or not. I still have faith in Congress to be obstructionistic so I don’t think that President Trump will instantly become a dictator.

I’m looking forward to corporate America gearing up for doing business again. Hell, I may even start applying for jobs in defense, since President Trump is talking budget changes to address the military cuts and tax changes that may well make it equally profitable for companies to open offices in America instead of Bangalore.

The weather today notwithstanding, I haven’t yet seen toads falling from the sky, nor have the waters turned to blood, and happily the rain has not turned to fire. 

On the other hand, as I type, the entire county is under a “High Wind warning, Flash Flood warning, and Severe Storm warning.” Perhaps that does not bode well, but I’m still giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Happy Inauguration Day.
