I sat glued to my television set as I watched Barack Obama become our Nation's 44th President. Wow! History being made before my very eyes. To think it wasn't all that long ago that our Country was embroiled in the Civil Rights Movement. Now, today, I am moved to tears as I watch this bi-racial young man take the Presidential Oath of Office.
What hope is now given to all people across this great Country of mixed races, and multi-cultures, and of any race!
I was very moved by President Obama's speech. There were parts of his speech that I was a bit concerned with, but the man is an amazing speaker and gave me much to ponder on as an individual citizen. For that I am very thankful.
What a glorious day for our Country! We have turned a page, created beautiful history and built a new road - a new age of tolerance of acceptance for all people.
Regardless of politics, today is a day to be very, very proud of our Country. I know I am.
