What an incredible day

"To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."

"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. "

These are my favorite quotes from Obama's inauguration speech. I truly hope this country can begin to heal and that we are starting out on the right foot into a world without prejudice. One where we don't need to qualify a man as the "first black president". He is a man. He is the president. Period.
