Today, there are more important things going on in the world; the inauguration of Barack Obama.
Parents, keep the kids out of school today, plop them in front of the tube and watch. Watch what could go down as one of the most important events in US History. Today, the first black president will be formally given the title of President Obama.
I have not been a fan of this country for many years. Being the cynic that I am, I have seen discrimination; bigotry; racism and poor treatment of minorities. Today, I see that we as a country have ignored the color of one's skin and elected a man based on his abilities, what he can do for an economy in peril, and a country that still has problems with race relations.
Mr. Obama has the chance to make a tremendous impact on America and on the world. Mr. Obama, please fix our economy, please help us to see what is in a man's heart and soul as opposed to the color of one's skin, and please help us find peace in a turbulent world.
Today is a great day in history, and for the first time in years, I am proud to be an American.
See you all in front of the tube.
