Whether you voted for Barrack Obama or not, I don't think anyone would disagree that today we saw a historical event as he became our 44th president, and the first black president in history. I have been following the inauguration all day and reading what others have to say about it on various websites and what suprises me is that there are so many people who viewed this day in a negative light.
I understand that we all have our own political views and by all means, the very foundation on which this country is built would be shaken if we were not allowed to do so. But I think that regardless of your political views you have to appreciate the fact that we live in a country that allows people like Barrack Obama to achieve such greatness in their lives. It just goes to show that no matter what your race, religon or creed, we are all capable of doing great things if we set our minds and hearts to it.
I have no idea what the next four years hold in store for our country. I pray that the president is able to steer America in a new direction, because I feel like we certainly need it. I also hope that no matter who you voted for in this election, you respect the office that Barrack Obama now holds, and support him, if only because you want what is best for our country.
