I don't care if people are sick of the inauguration coverage and hype. I'm going to blog about it anyway.
I did, in fact, manage to hold my tears for nearly the whole day. Then MSNBC did a montage, and down they came.
Civil rights is my forte, it's my passion. MLK and Malcolm X and Desmond Tutu and Ralph Abernathy are among my heros. And I don't care who you voted for. This was a great day to be an American citizen, in a land where a man who, less than 50 years ago would have been given second-class service (or none at all), can become president. It makes me believe that there is hope for our nation, and that we are moving toward equality and justice for all.
I'm so proud to be an American, because today I truly saw what my country is capable of.

I too am proud to be an American. The peaceful transition of power from one President to the next is something that is remarkable about our country.
I was tuned in to coverage for most of the day, and it was fun to watch.
The American Dream is about opportunity, and that Dream can be achieved when you work hard to do so.
