Are You Dizzy Yet?

I can only speak for myself but right now I’m feeling a bit like the man that has taken in a bit too much fresh air and is feeling that wonderful dizziness that comes from being intensely aware. Watching this administration right so many wrongs that occurred over the past eight years is nothing less than impressive. I’m starting to think to myself that we finally have somebody that has actually read the Constitution and Bill of Rights and understands both it’s meaning AND intent! I don’t think there is a single word in the vocabulary that can express it all … well, maybe WOW. Yeah, that will do for now.

Obviously, not everyone is going to agree or be completely pleased, but the very fact that the slow and steady work of putting things right continues. Even more interesting is that we are starting to hear more serious talk about not only putting things right, but holding some of our trusted officials responsible for their actions is simply astounding. Although I did hear one person today say that they can’t take the former president and jail him for his actions. My question was “why not?” Other leaders in other countries have been held to this same standard. Embarrassing? Certainly! But let’s not forget the forced resignation of Richard M. Nixon and the country survived that one and some of the stunts that occurred with our liberties, rights, and laws aren’t that far a stretch. We Americans have always impressed other countries because we air our dirty laundry in public; something you won’t find that often around the world. When we screw up, we admit it.

I don’t expect miracles out of this President, but he’s giving me one thing I haven’t seen in an elected official in a long time. Truth, honesty, and a sincere effort to do the right thing. Not just a bunch of pretty words, but now, an honest effort to bring it to bear. Shoot, I think that’s what every American would like to be able to brag about their commander in chief.

So, if this is the sort of head spinning I can expect out of this fellow, please give me more! I’ll risk the cruel punishment of addiction to all this fresh air and I’ll keep gulping for another breath. The man is doing the right thing. I don’t think anyone can really expect much more, nor should we every have settled for anything less.
