No Let's Yeah | irrelevantly irreverent

I don’t think I was alone in 2009 feeling some disillusionment with our country and our leaders. After 2008’s unprecedented election and 2009’s emotional inauguration of Obama, I felt like we would finally see some progress in Washington DC. As the year played out, it seemed like we were in a stalemate like never before.

After last week’s eloquent and hopeful State of the Union, I was reminded that maybe things CAN change. Last Friday, two days after the STOU, Obama addressed the GOP members of the House, and it seemed like we may be headed toward some sort of reasonable agreement that both sides will have to work together to make things happen. This was the most refreshing thing I’ve seen happen since Obama took office. Kudos to both sides.

National Fist Bump Day.

“On June 3rd, 2008, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle took part in what immediately became known as “the fist bump heard ’round the world.” Though it was an intensely personal and affectionate gesture of love and respect at a pivotal moment in Obama’s presidential campaign, it firmly placed the fist bump on the national stage.”
