What an amazing day it was for the United States of America. A nation that boasts it’s great democracy finally backs it up with a President elected by shear force of voice. The voice yelled, “Change”, and change America did. We Americans elected, for the first time, a minority. A minority in the sense of his ancestral origins, but not in the sense of his ideas.

We Americans elected a black man to the highest position in the world. America’s growth, in its early years, was in fact made possible by African slaves. Americas crimes towards human kind, to achieve power through wealth, are crimes that will never be forgotten or forgiven. Yet, that doesn’t mean we can not get past it and grow as nation. What a proud step it is to have President Barak Obama, an African American, move into The White House: a house built by slaves.

When I think back and wonder what some slaves may have thought while building The White House I have to believe one said, “Lord, that’s a house I would love to live in. Plus, what happens in the Lincoln bedroom, stays in the Lincoln bedroom.”

Little known fact: Most slaves could see into the future.

The Ceremony

On the Tuesday, the 20th, Barak Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Natuarally, before any main attraction goes on stage there were some opening performers. One “act” was Pastor Rick Warren. Warren was a huge disappointment of an act for one glaring reason. He goes against everything President Obama symbolizes.

Warren spoke to one group of people: Christians. He based his whole speech on the notion that christian believers were the only listeners or Americans. He even ended his speech with the “Our Father.” President Obama represents the voices of everyone. He may be Christian, but in his own speech he mentions the issue of equality among religions and mindfulness we must possess (of other religions). The narrow minded view which Warren represented was very contradictory to the openness of the President’s.

You Have One Job Bro-berts

Come on Roberts. We know Bush picked you but that was ridiculous. You had less lines than Steven Seagal in “Executive Decision.”

What If President Obama Was a GhostRider?

After The President was sworn in he took the standard limo ride to The White House. What if, during the parade, the President and his wife Michelle ghostrided the limo? One of the marching bands on hand could have played the “GhostRide the Whip” song and the President could have produced his version of “shock and awe.”
