President Barack Obama
|
I was up this morning at 3:OOam to watch the anuguration of American President Barack Obama. I was eagerly glued to my television set and watched in awe the hundreds of thousands of people that turned up in Washington in sub zero temperatures to watch the anuguration of Barack Obama.
I am not an American. I am an Australian, living in Australia. Unless my circumstances changes drastically, President Obama will never be MY president but I am so happy for him - and for America.
The coverage here in Australia was unbelievable!
Every channel screened the anuguation and parade from about 3:OOam right throughout the day. The last time I recall normal programming being stopped on all television channels to show a world event coverage piece was 11th September, 2001. That was a sad and tragic day. Then we cried with you (the American people), today we rejoice with you.
The biggest emphasis is on the fact that this is the first African American President. But apart from that, I believe this man is the right man.

This Just In: Barack Obama's grandmother did not make it and died from the cancer. Although I did not know the woman, this is heart-breaking for me. I felt like I knew her the way he talked about her. This country thinks of Barack Obama as a hero, and he thought of his grandmother as a hero. The influence she had on him was extreme, and he loved her with all his heart. I feel very sorry for him, and I wish him, his family, and his grandmother herself (wherever she may be) the best.
I think it's amazing that he is able to continue on with this election, only a day away, and march on with his campaign. And I am sure that tomorrow night, when they finally declare him president of the United States Of America (we all KNOW that he is getting the electoral votes), when he smiles out to the crowd, his proud smile will be for his grandmother. I know that all his hard work and wonderful plans will work out for him in the end, and Barack Obama will be elected president. I have no doubt. And I know that his grandmother would have been more then proud.

Barack Obama, the First African American President of the United States of America. A true blessing from God. This awesome, amazing man, went from senator to president. Not just any president, the president of the United states of America. Some people thought that a black man could never become president of this country. That a black man would never rise to the top. How african americans were treaten badly such as being called the N word, discriminated, beaten, slaves. BUT NOW! America will see that there can be a change. It's just a true blessing from God to finally see Obama president.
When I was watching MSNBC, I cried when I finally saw the Electral votes turn 284 on Obama's poll. This is a night to remember. My family and I will never forget this, and neither will America tonight! God bless you all who are reading this artcile. Also, I ask YOU, please say a quick prayer for President Obama and his family, please pray for his safety, pray for America's safety. Thank You for YOUR support for President Barack Obama! Vallery here, over and out!
