Obama's MY 44th President !!!!

If it was up to me I would pronounce January 20Th a holiday, the day My president Barack Obama was sworn into the white house. On this festive day Sen. Diane Fierstein was the Mistress of Ceremony, Rev Rick Warren prayed over everyone and Barack Obama and his family. Then Aretha Franklin the queen of soul sang, My Country Ti's of thee, when she got up there and sang the look of some of the people in the audience was emotions of pure happiness and joy. Cicely Tyson truly brought a tear to my eye when she was just overjoyed to see that her 44Th president is Barack Obama. At Approx 12:07 President elect Obama became President Barack Hussein Obama. In his speech to the people he told us to be humble, grateful, and mindful of everything because we are in a bind as a whole but together it may take a while but we will be on our feet again. When they showed the Tuskegee's airmen in the audience,I just broke down and cried because this is an important time in our history and they were there to witness this all take place. Barack also stated "Hope over fear " and that "all of us are equal and all of us are free". TO see whites blacks, Mexicans, Asians, and all in the crowd was def a joy us thing to look at.
"Gathering clouds and raging storms"(Lincoln), brought everyone together to hear Obama speak. Obama is a Christan man I believe what he says he will claim and speak truth into his words and we as a whole will and can reconstruct this country. The Benediction was given by Rev Joesph Lowery, he started off with the National Negro Anthem. "God of our weary years, God of our silent tears," and ended with ... help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right."Let all who do justice and love mercy say amen and say amen. What a way to end a beautiful Program. This will day will soon be in all of our text books! This day was counted as the biggest turn out of African Americans since the Million Man March!
