"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself"
-Charlie Chaplin
I found this in in the children's book section at Target and couldn't help but laugh a little.
Imagine playing in the sandbox in kindergarten, enjoying your free time, hanging with your formative friends. Suddenly, the lights flicker and the teacher (and probably her aid) start singing that clean up song. You throw the little shovel into the box and run to the reading corner. Happily, you roll out one of those weathered leather lily pads that has your name written on it neatly on a piece of masking tape. That teacher sits down quietly and cracks open today's reading delight!
Literally, a children's book outlining the life and accomplishments of our President-Elect. Listen, I'm pro-Obama and I'm excited for what's to come, but America has got to be ready to have patience. Inauguration Day isn't going to change the face of America in an instant. What's even more frightening is there isn't a guarantee that Obama will change anything. I'm not a pessimist; not even a little but - but this children's book just made me a little leary-eyed.
