So as many people today watched President Obama’s speech, I just couldn’t bring myself to watch. Now I could tell you a wonderful story of why I missed it because I was captured by the mafia and tortured to give up the Colonel’s spices, but that would be lame. I didn’t watch because I don’t like the way the country is going and that speech would have served as a painful reminder. After I knew it was finished I was disheartened, and the America I once knew seemed far far away. But then I remembered why I’m still here, and I saw something from three years ago that just made me swell up with pride. My closest friends know I end every night with the company of Craig Ferguson. He consistently makes me proud to be an American because sometimes it takes someone who chooses to join us in our fight for freedom than someone who is born here and takes it for granted to show us how truly privileged we are. It should be noted that this video was in 2006 however, Craig became a citizen of our great country on February 1, 2008 scoring perfect on his citizenship test. Not many can say that. This video just sums up what I think many of us need to hear in these hard times. I hope you enjoy him as much as I do.
