Jan. 20th, 2009 04:04 pmToday, history was made. An African-American man became president of the United States. Everyone knew this was coming since early November, but it wasn't until today, after watching Barack Obama take the oath of office and give his speech, that it really hit me.
Now, I don't post political stuff on here, because I don't want any drama happening because of anyone's political views. But... today, I hope that Republicans and Democrats and all the independent parties can put their differences aside and just appreciate the gigantic step forward we took as a nation today.
The world seems a bit brighter today, and the promise that was made to me, and to thousands of children all across America when we were in first grade, that no matter who we are, we can do anything, even be president, seems like an actual promise now, not just a stock saying used on kids.
