I always get a kick out of this time of the year. It brings back so many memories that prove that old saw that "democracy" often seems to be a terrible way to run a government, but so far, no one has found a better way to do it. So during just about every presidential election I can recall, and every inauguration that followed, I observed the supporters of Truman and those that followed him kvelling at their victory and the opponents predicting that the United States would soon be going down the drain because of the new president.
So here we are again. I’m happy that Obama beat Romney, and I’m hoping that the next four years will be even better than the last four. I say even better, for I’m still with those that believe we should have been out of Afghanistan years ago, and I still believe in universal health care for all Americans, a belief, I acknowledge, which remains unattainable for the near future.
Oh well. Anyone remember Vaughn Monroe? This song of his always makes me smile .... and it makes my body move.
