Inauguration Day

Well well well, Mr Obama is no longer known as the president elect but now as The President of the Unitd States. The numerous blowout celebrations that they had for Obama went on for days - parades, concerts, long insperational speaches. It all makes you think that America will stand untainted because of Obama. For starters ever since he was elected they (as in media) have been filtering us to think of Obama as Jesus's first cousin. I mean there isn't anything wrong with having a little hope and a little faith in one's county but honestly it can't possibly be realistic for America to go from the Devils Playground to God's Dining Room just because we have a new president. The setup of the inauguration was nice and there were alot of supporters, I personally knew 3 people that had gotten tickets to go to the events that they had hosted all weekend for the new President. Something was pointed out to me after Obama was named the official president. He aggreed with former President Bush about the AWOL. Obama said "We won’t apologize for the AWOL" (or something along these lines). Now what stikes me as weird is that Obama, this possible direct relative of God himself, agrees with the man who eveyone blames for the state of the economy.

There was a guy (I don't recall his name) who said a long prayer before they swore Obama in to official presidency. This man, mentioned Obama's heritage several times during this long christian based prayer. I think that they really want all the people of America to know that Obama is AFRICAN AMERICAN as if they can't see for themselves. But for some reason i got the feeling that this man only repeated PART of Obama's heritage to seem fair. Something like "America is fair, see? We have an AFRICAN AMERICAN President" Ha ha, then theres the whole undertoe of "But, in our defence if he screws things up even more, please remember he's AFRICAN AMERICAN!" Wow, our great America.
