Does it really matter?
After yesterday, where it seemed almost impossible to watch anything on television other than the inaugguration of Barack Obama, which don't get me wrong it is exciting, I had some other thoughts. Today, when I came to work at 5:00 a.m. I had more people talking about what Mrs. Obama was wearing than how proud they were for Barack. Really....does it really matter? This is a man who has been chose to rule every individual of America and not only that is the first African-American to do so and all we can talk about it the color of the dress his wife wore? How it looked like something an old woman would wear? It just doesn't make sense to me. If anything, we should be looking at what our new President was wearing and he was holding up, but, I did not hear one single thing about him. Or maybe we should be thinking about he views the world and the possible changes that we could be facing in the future, but nope, his wife's green suited outfit was much more important. It makes me wonder, how concerned are we with our country and how it is ruled? Do looks really outweigh the knowledge? Did we vote for Obama in order to simply say that we finally have reach a point in America where all race is set aside and finally all men are equal...the first African-American President? And by the way, I think that Mrs. Obama looked stunning!

It has been awhile since we've had a first lady who could command the attention Michelle Obama has. Hillary had a lot of attention, but it was of a different sort.
