Facebook and Twitter have made my life easier in many ways. Yes, I reap the benefits of social media. I keep in touch with friends and family. I keep up on things I don’t have the time to actually sit through. I share pictures and stories. There is one thing that I interesting about social media and controversy: it makes the debate, discussion and even trash talk instant.

I feel like a real schmuck. The sad fact is that the reason I feel like an idiot is because I’m honest.
On the day I’m writing this, February 2nd, I’m gathering up all my tax stuff to send to the lady who has done our taxes for years. While I’m looking through all our receipts, records, W-2s and such, I’m listening to talk radio and how Tom Daschle, Obama’s pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department, failed to pay more than $120,000 according to CNN.com.

I’m just a little person, which means I’m not a celebrity. And yet everyday, I try to be a good mom, wife, writer and friend. For a year now, we’ve been recycling and I volunteer my time teaching Sunday school and working with the Boy Scouts. I don’t mention this to pat myself on the back, but to point out that this is just what my family and I do and we did it long before Obama was elected.

I can plainly remember Clinton’s first inauguration. Part of the reason might be because my boss at the time was a huge supporter of his and wanted to rush home at lunch time so she could watch it. She invited me along and we sat in her living room eating BBQ beef sandwiches on TV trays while we watched Bill Clinton take the oath. Afterward, I remember admiring the cadence and eloquence of Maya Angelou’s voice as she read her poem she’d written just for the occasion.

Someone on the White House marketing staff is very proud of himself/herself right now, and they should be. President Elect Obama’s website Change.gov was transferred over to WhiteHouse.gov during Obama’s inaugural address.
So in truth, Change HAS come to the White House. Probably via ftp.
President Obama’s staff is already busy blogging. Visit the White House blog to keep up with all the change.

I have been watching Obama since he won in November of last year and I have to say that I am impressed. I probably will be voting Republican again in 2010 and 2012, so don’t get too excited with my statement. However, I will say that given the size of his victory he has been far more willing to negotiate with others then the Clintons did in 1992.
Obama has made very solid cabinet picks and has said all the right things in his interviews. I look forward to his inauguration and expect it to be up there with the greats like Lincoln, Kennedy and Reagan. I am pleased to see that he has been balanced in his approach since becoming President – Elect and I look forward to watching the left become angry at him when he turns out not to be as radical as they thought he would.

Sure, Rod Blagojevich may have tried to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat to the highest bidder and I do not doubt that he and his wife are foul mouthed people. However, despite all of that, I think he should stay on has governor of Illinois and continue to serve the people who elected him, twice.
Now, some of you ninnies out there may say, “Hey, he is corrupt, he must go.” Sure he is corrupt, but he has a keen economic mind and in these tough times that is what we need. He was able to look at the situation he was in and realize that the thing that he had was worth a lot of money to someone that simply just give it away was foolish. That is an economic genius at work people!
