Obama Day

January 20 – Inauguration Day

Now, checking back on the day set for the inauguration date for Mr. Obama, it couldn’t be any better of a day. Before all this, some of you may have thought, “well it’s just another day, nothing special about it”. But it’s not just about the 20th, it’s also about the day before - the day that is dedicated to another famous Black man that changed the way of living for many blacks in America: Dr. Martin Luther King. January 19th is Martin Luther King Day. How perfect it is that a man that did so much for America is remembered one day, and then the next is the day that many Americans will remember for years to come - as Obama will hopefully help not just in the U.S., but around the world.

There is so much hype based on this one day that the amount of people and tour buses is so extensive, that the city of Washington does not know what they are going to do with everyone and everything. This is an event many people though they would never see in their lifetime: a black President. What I love about this man is that not only is he black, but he is also white. I believe he represents the race of what the world will one day become – one of mixture. Why can't people have the best of both worlds? Why can't we all just get along? Does skin colour really matter that much? Well now, if you’re white or black, if you say anything negative about this man, know that you are talking about your own race too. Don't get me wrong - I'm not just talking about the world being only white and black and nothing else - I’m just saying that one day, the world shall be a mix of white, black, yellow, brown, and any other colour out there. We are all just people, and Obama is the man who has stepped forward to represent us. And I believe he will do a great job at setting everything up for the world to become a better place.
