WELCOME PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!!

As I awakened this morning it was very easy. Knowing today was about to be a great day. Today is a different day. A day to look at the past, glance at the present, and see hope for the future. I started watching my local news station chan 5, as I always do, checking on what happened in the viewing area during the night. Checking the weather to make sure the kids will dress appropriately. The temp this morning is 19 degrees, very cold. After a few moments I decided to change the channel to CNN. My favorite political coverage channel right now. They were showing people spread from the Lincoln Memorial Bldg to the Washington Monument in D.C. It was people of all colors black, white, hispanic, and other ethinicities. Everyone was smiling, laughing, waving American flags and "GETTING ALONG". It was an inspirational moment for me. It is not hard for them to drop prejudices and treat each other with respect and kindness. We are from different backgrounds, cultures, and ways of living. But you know we all bleed the same color blood when cut. Even the news media seemed to be excited and jubilant from watching all the people wait. Wait for what, you say? They are waiting for the arrival of the new President-elect. What's his name you ask? Barack Obama! This is the first African-American President. So just so you all will know and get it straight, not twisted. His new name is President Barack Obama of the United States of America. The majority of the people of the nation elected him. That shows great promise that it doesn't matter what color you are. We all have all had enough of the present cabinet in office. We all want a better future for ourselves and our children. Yes we can talk about the economy, gas prices, healthcare issues, and world wars. But we have hope things will get better and by electing Barack Obama as president is the beginning. As he has said for those that did not vote for him, he is YOUR president too.
He will be sworn in at 11am as President of the United States of America. I have to finish this later I am on my way to a Presidential Barack breakfast. Celebrating the inauguration today. Congratulations to us all!!! And God Bless America. Yes We Can!!!
