pubwrite08: I pray that he does well, because he has no choice. He knows it too.
Amen. He's not making it a color issue. He knows full well he has to prove himself to everyone. I wouldn't want his job. I voted for him and believe in him.
Tomorrow is a huge day when Barack Hussien Obama takes the oath of office. As a previous Navy Officer, I reinlisted many young men. I thought it was only decent to memorize the talk - to show proper grace to what they were doing. Giving their young life-time to our country. Since then many things have happened and I have been close to disavowing my earlier beliefs...I look at tomorrow as a new beginning...something I can be proud of....and I'll cry like a baby when that man talks and takes the oath of office
I grew up in Illinois, am a veteran, a VFW member, and I am Goddamned proud to be an American on January 20th....2009.

Well said. I'm retired Air Force (20 years) and will do the same tomorrow.
Dknew: Is he, What about his white side, Seems everyone has forgotten about that even him.
I agree. but the rich white folks aren't gonna argue with it, because they all want to say, see we elected one of your people, now quit calling us the oppressors....
It's only news because this is the candidate that the media ordained months ago. Whether he's black, yellow, brown, or white he is nothing more than a brand at this point because he didn't accomplish anything as a senator (he started running for president as soon as he got in the senate) and he has done nothing yet but hold press conferences. I didn't vote for him but he's still the president and I support him because I want the country to do well. However, I will be very disappointed if he continues to value style over substance.

Ah yous have it all wrong.......The world aint celebratin his inaugaration cos of his colour it's because he's part Oirish...........
Indyfella: Well, Obummer better do well. I bought 100 of those commemorative plates at a big discount...to give as Christmas gifts this next Christmas.
What folks don't understand about Obama is that he is dead flat perfect. Our better Angel....accept another Lincoln, or George Washington. They come around every now and then.

Did you know that if a person in this country is a certain percentage of black, they are balck in this nation's eyes. I have two biracial kids, and they are paler than a whole lot of white folks, But this nation says they are black. So Obama is following the rules.
