Passions  

Being one of hundreds (perhaps thousands) of journalists assigned to cover the Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama was quite a thrill for fellow radio host Stephanie Marion of Michigan, as well as myself.  

The people we met and stories we heard told us America was desperate for a change and they thought Mr. Obama was, by far, the better choice.  It didn't matter that he was African-American.  He had a message of hope---a message of change. 

On the next edition of Passions on BlogTalk Radio, Stephanie and I will share our eyewitness to history. 

One instance that stands out in my mind is a conversation I overhead while standing in a LONG LINE to get on the Metro (train) following the Inauguration of President Barack Obama.  A man behind me said, “I can’t believe I drove all the way from Michigan to see the Inauguration on a TV screen.”  He then smiled and added, “But it was worth every minute of it.  I’m glad I was here!”

President Obama has a huge task ahead of him.  What can he accomplish?  What are YOU willing to do to help?  I invite you to call in and offer your thoughts on Sunday, January 26 from 7pm-8pm EST.  The number os 347-324-3935 or you can listen right from your computer:  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/passions.

I'll see you on the radio!
