Today is one of the most monumental days in our country’s history!

Today, January 20, 2009, is a momentous day for our country.  Just moments ago, Barack Obama became the first black president to be sworn into office and from this point on I, along with millions of others, anticipate some major positive changes to occur in our country.

Being old enough to understand what happened during the Bush administration and watching firsthand as our country took such a downward spiral, and now being able to actually live through such a significant change is something I never thought I would experience.  I have high hopes for President Obama and not once have I doubted his ability to turn this country around.

The changes that will come will take time, but slowly our economy and our country will go through a major transformation to reach the levels of success that the American people once took so much pride in.

Whomever you voted for, whatever your beliefs are, there is no denying that the inauguration today is a monumental piece of history that we are all fortunate enough to live through. I hope you all are taking advantage of this day and watched as our 44th president was sworn into office. Yay for Obama!!!!

    Hi Khloe :)

    Nothing against you or anything but can you change “black” to African-American..

    It just sounds more politically correct, dont you think?

    I know you have a lot of people hating on you about some racist BS (I read your “vent” post).. so it would be best to not give them another reason..

    just a suggestion.

    have a good day! :D

    this all feel surreal, america is finally “living up to its true meaning of its creed.” and now there is proof in obama that every american can pursue their happiness

    ~~side bar~~ to the person above me black is now officially politically correct because it was incorrect calling black ppl african american when they didnt have parents or grand parents born in africa and the fact that all black ppl and all americans period are mixed with many different backgrounds

    “Black” is perfectly fine. I’m black. Let’s not get away from the point of this post, people.

    Why-
    I see what your saying but its the very first time for a president has any “black” in him at all. None the less ky its a known fact that Barack becoming president shocked scared and infuriated alot of people. thus some being concerned about his safety. He’s the newest target and in a world of many sick people all we can hope is that he stays safe.
