Yes YES YES!

I'm seriously thrilled Barak Hussein Obama is now the 44th president of the US of A. I'm also thrilled that none of the McCain supporters killed him! I'm totally serious. There were so many of us in the black community that feared he'd never make it to take the oath, or that he'd be blasted in the middle of taking the oath. I loved his speech. The most memorable part that made me cry was, "...your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy." Even though he was directing that comment to the Muslim world, I believe that comment was meant for all of humanity.

This is the beginning of an interesting and complex four years.
