My President is Black!!!

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

As I take the sacred oath of the highest office in the land, I am humbled by the responsibility placed upon my shoulders, renewed by the courage and decency of the American people, and fortified by my faith in an awesome God.

We are in the midst of a season of trial. Our Nation is being tested, and our people know great uncertainty. Yet the story of America is one of renewal in the face of adversity, reconciliation in a time of discord, and we know that there is a purpose for everything under heaven.

On this Inauguration Day, we are reminded that we are heirs to over two centuries of American democracy, and that this legacy is not simply a birthright -- it is a glorious burden. Now it falls to us to come together as a people to carry it forward once more.

So in the words of President Abraham Lincoln, let us remember that: "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 20, 2009, a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, and call upon all of our citizens to serve one another and the common purpose of remaking this Nation for our new century.



Today was a very proud day for me! I have been watching the coverage all day. it has brought tears of joy and hope. I pray for his continued safety,he and his family. I am thankful for the change our world is coming to. I honestly didn't think I would ever see it. Maybe my children but never me. I thank the lord for this day. We have a lot more to accomplish as a people and I am ready for the road ahead. I need to put my own stamp on this world. And I am ready for that challenge. President Obama has a hard road ahead but I believe he is the right man for the job. He pulled a country together that for so long only saw the world as black and white. Now it is a nation of new ideas and new life. The world will be different because of this change. I am ready for better days for all and I believe with President Obama in office and god with us all,it will happen.I am happy that the 44th President of the United States is Barack H. Obama!!!
