![]() There’s really nothing I could add to the coverage by CNN, MSNBC, the BBC and other news organizations about this historic day. Except to say that it was a very emotional moment for me when Obama was sworn in as President. Sure, we all knew the moment was coming, I for one was looking forward to it for months. But the moment caught me off guard and I was still filled with emotion. I wept. Brown and black kids my age never dreamed of becoming President. Sure, we were told by teachers that if we worked really hard we could become lawyers or doctors, but nobody believed that being President was even remotely possible. Well now it is. It’s my birthday today–this is the best one by far. |
