I’m sitting here watching the news coverage building up to the Presidential Inauguration that’ll take place later today. I quite honestly never thought I’d see the day that a black man would become President. I’m proud to be an American today. Perhaps the first time that I’ve TRULY been able to say that. In my lifetime of 38 years, this is the brightest American moment – even with the economic crisis and ongoing war factored in.
2009 will be both a refreshing and a challenging year. President Barack Obama won’t be able to perform miracles, he’ll definitely have a tough job ahead. However, I’m confident he’s the perfect man for that all-important job of President of the United States of America. Congratulations America, welcome to the first day of the rest of your life! The world is watching.
