The challenges before our new President are immense and he will need the help of all Americans to restore this country to its full greatness. As well said today by the lead editorial in USA Today;
"Obama takes oath amid great pride, promise, problems"
I am encouraged that, at every turn, the President is communicating that the turnaround will not be quick, and will not be easy. The sooner everyone absorbs this message, the sooner recovery will begin to start to take hold. The sooner people assume personal responsibility for their prosperity, the sooner our country will prosper.
This is a wonderful day to feel a new sense of hope. But, let no one forget that hope without action is not a cure.
What will you be doing differently, tomorrow, when the images of the inaugural splendor start to disappear in the rear view mirror?

I like the fact that you stated the turn around will not be quick, and it will not be easy. Personal responsibility is something that we all must face. In order to heal a nation it has to begin within each one of us.
To heal something that is sick takes time and consistency once you find what works.

Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts.
When the majority of our nation fully embraces the personal responsibility that you adress, then recovery will be near.
I admire the personal responsibility being shown by so many consumers. On the othert hand, too many business execs still seem to be counting on someone else to bail them out. And regretfully, Washington seems to love the attention (and donations) that come with bailout requests.
Our nation is making some progress....but has far to go before the upturn is solidly rooted.
