The Obama Inauguration

Today was a historic day, a major world power peacefully transferred power from one set of executives to another.Some might say that this day is historic because President Obama is of African American descent or because of just how popular he is abroad and here in the United States. 

The fact of the matter is that he is a man just like the rest of us and putting labels on him defeats his message of progress through unity.  He gave a very moving speech in front of one of the largest audiences ever assembled and really didn't say much. What he did say is that we are going try and fix our country because in his opinion (one that I share), fixes are sorely needed.

I for one wish President Obama the best of luck with his new job and hope that he can make the right decisions in these tough times.

I am proud to live in a country the freely elects its leaders and where the rule of law can override hate and bigotry. Today, just like on every other day, I am proud to be an American.
