Barack Brings Woodstock To Washington

Yesterday while watching the inauguration of the 44th President of these United States I could not help but think of Woodstock when during the swearing in of the president, the camera panned out to show a view of the mall showing a crowd of a reported 1.9 million people. The scene immediately brought back images of the crowd scenes of Woodstock forty years earlier. The people present possessed the same hope for a better future as did the Woodstock attendees. The only differences were the music, drugs, sex and degree of nudity. Of course,the temperature was in the twenties which may have had something to do with this. In fact, some of the people may well have been at both activities. I can only hope and pray that President Obama can bring about the changes that the country desperately needs. Of course if he can do all of this, he will also be found jogging on the Potomac River. I sincerely hope that our politicians with the guidance of our new President can fix the many problems that face our country. I wish you peace and love until later.
