MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK...

MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK...ON THIS DAY JANUARY 20,2009 I CAN SAY I'M TRULY BLESSED TO SEE OUR 44TH PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA make history as the FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN AND FIFTH YOUNGEST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! As I sit here, glued to the TV embracing this moment with family and being a witness to one of the greatest days in AMERICAN HISTORY.. I rest assured that YES WE CAN! be whomever we want to be and have what we are destined to have in life as African Americans. I WILL BE WHAT I'M DESTINED TO BE AND HAVE WHAT GOD SAYS I CAN HAVE! I think about all the steps that were ordered from our ancestors, Dr. King, and other major civil rights leaders/activists to allow us to see this glorious time.

I'm grateful GOD delivered President Obama to us and molded him into the beautiful mosaic he is today. In honor, of the inaguration I declare today OBAMA DAY on my blog..so the movement is ALL ABOUT BARACK OBAMA AND THIS historical day! I HOPE I CAN HELP THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY HAVE MISSED OUT..




OBAMA'S PROCLAMATION


As I take the sacred oath of the highest office in the land, I am humbled by the responsibility placed upon my shoulders, renewed by the courage and decency of the American people, and fortified by my faith in an awesome God.

We are in the midst of a season of trial. Our Nation is being tested, and our people know great uncertainty. Yet the story of America is one of renewal in the face of adversity, reconciliation in a time of discord, and we know that there is a purpose for everything under heaven.

On this Inauguration Day, we are reminded that we are heirs to over two centuries of American democracy, and that this legacy is not simply a birthright -- it is a glorious burden. Now it falls to us to come together as a people to carry it forward once more.

So in the words of President Abraham Lincoln, let us remember that: "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 20, 2009, a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, and call upon all of our citizens to serve one another and the common purpose of remaking this Nation for our new century.


OBAMA TAKES THE OATH

SHE'S STEPPING OUT...





Michelle was stunning in her Isabel Toldeo, lilac green ensemble with accented accessories with diamonds, green gloves, and shoes to match. She truly stands for the American woman. She looked so glamorous and like she was glowing. Go Michelle!

Now you know I couldn't leave out the lil Michelles in the making..Sasha and Malia looked so cute in the J. Crew attire. It will be interesting to see how they mature and grow up in the White House..
