The change

it certainly was beautiful. americans should stick together better than they do.

I don't trust Obama. He just seems "scary" to me. What this country needs is the Lord Jesus Christ. We have pushed God out so much that we are suffering the consequences. As long as we continue to ignore God and His Word, our nation will continue to get worse. We need the Lord Jesus Christ. We, as a nation, need to bow down and repent and receive the Lord. May God help our nation!

I did a lot of research on Obama and what he was for and what he is against and that does worry me, because if he does what he believed in then America is in for a bad time. If God does not influence Obama's actions and change his heart, then people will realize that the change was not good. We must pray that God will take control, soften his heart, make him protect the unborn, not to walk with the perverse, and not to take money from the industrious and give to the lazy and certainly not to allow those who sneak into America to fatten at the expense of the true Americans.

I watched and cried also. It is so nice to see people finally coming together and being happy and also having hope for the future. I think he will do a wonderful job.

I agree. I almost cried too. I really hope that he can do what he says and wants to do. I think he can atleast get the wheels rolling, even if he can't completely get the job done in his term.

I'm happy about the whole thing. just hope he'd be focused and do exactly as he said he would. i pray he is able to do as he said, and really make a change.

This is an exciting day in our country. A change is in the air, we need it.

We can only hope that he will be capable of fulfilling the heightened expectations of those who have chosen to idolize him.

Obamagasm!

I've told this story before, but I think I'll tell it again. Back in the 1970's the department I was in (where I worked) was told that we were getting a black supervisor. Even though we still had our white supervisor, some of the black girls stopped obeying him. When he would ask them to do a job, they would say, "We don't have to, Luther is our supervisor." When our new supervisor came, they were expecting a free ride, but wonder of wonders, he expected them to work the same as everybody else. It wasn't long before they had no use for him. I hope the people who are expecting something special from Obama aren't like those girls who expected too much from Luther. When Obama says all of us working together, I hope they understand and aren't expecting a free ride. That change in attitude can change quickly. I know. I've seen it.

Everyone loves a party...but we will have to see how many of them are willing to do the work too. THey may not support him as much when they have to more than just show up and cheer. I hope I am wrong...but we americans are exactly the self sacrificing type.

Hello dfollin! I haven't seen the inauguration. But I have a strong belief that Obama will make it. Uniting american people is a good sign, I hope he will clean up all the mess which is happpening to America right now. I could probably say that racism in America finally ended.

I think it was beautiful also. I feel like I can relate much more with him and feel closer as a human. I think he is making a great change by giving hopes to all the people who are a minority. I know that there is a lot of tasks coming up for him to accomplish, but we as a nation must help out also. This is all of our business.

Not for the U.S.A but for all of the world, Obama's selection is really good. It shows us racism is nothing but just wasting time. It will hit the speakers "you and us" speech. But, all these good things needed to be forged by some enlightened mind. U.S.A must stay as a country, not the so called "big brother of world". Other countries inner political issues must stay as an inner thing, not just something to mixed by other countries. It's not just for U.S.A, it's must be done by all countries, U.S.A is just one example. So Obama must not make the mistakes of his ancestors, if he says he is different, he must show it. Not by digging history wrong but by writing a new future for his citizens. If he can overcome the financial crisis, there will be no need to fighting for "bringing prospect and democracy"
