2009 Inauguration 1-20-2009

I believe Ms. Erykah Badu said it best:
see he's organized
and he's on the ball
never miss a day of school
and he's an underdog
wanna know more and more
'cause his mama taught him good
he's about to change face
of your ghetto neighborhood.
(Soilder-New Amerykah: 4th World War)

With that being said, I truly believe that OUR New President Mr. BarackObama (along with his wife Michelle Obama) is definitely about to change the face of, not only the ghetto neighborhoods, but ALL neighborhoods across the UNITED States of America. He has already done so much wouldn't you say? I mean, how many people can you honestly say was able to get a Nation of individuals together and have them on one accord....CHANGE. Some may compare him to Kennedy, but in my eyes, I have never felt as though a politician has ever had my best interest at heart. Not because he’s black, but because he exemplifies such a genuine interest in how the American people are treated. And that’s a quality that, sad to say, not many politicians posses. I believe in Change, therefore, I believe in Obama!

With that being said, sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful photos documenting this Historic event

……………………………

And who did i see as soon as I arrived....
if you look closely you'll see that it's the other guy: John McCain!

Once he realized he had been spotted by the paparazzi, he rolled his window up so you have to look vewwy vewwy closely.
“....it's him, you know....the other guy”.

When I finally arrived at The National Mall I quickly noticed that those in the crowd didn't waste time getting the party started...

If that isn’t a clear indication that Barack Obama is bringing the Nation together, I dont know what is. Who else can get people to do the electric slide at the crack of dawn on the coldest day of winter and STILL manage to have a huge smile on their face?

And of course while walking through the crowd I spotted EVERY type of Obama paraphernalia you could think of but this one here was definitely the REALIST shirt I've ever seen:

I was also digging the Obama head gear that was available

What you think?

……and calendars

It was actually good to see my people get up and get out and seize the opportunity to profit off of this remarkable and historic
occasion.

... ... ... ... ... ...
I liked this one…

Good
Better
Best
In the
World

I thought it was cool.

... ... ... ... ... ...

He literally had the best seat in the house.

An interview by WGN Chicago with a Chicago native that came out to support her previous Senator, Barack Obama.

Let me break for a moment and share with you just how real this was for me. I was freezing my buns off out there but it was all so worth every moment of it. Please take note that I was NOT playing with that cold air out there. Even for a picture, I refused to take down my scarf lol.



It was just the 3 of US.... amongst about 3 million other people, and I loved every minute of it.

......................................................................................................................................................................

One Flag…One Nation

One Flag…One Nation!

... ... ... ... ... ...

People coming together from various nationalities…All because we share something in common:

HOPE

... ... ... ... ... ...

The sun shining down upon US=U.S.

... ... ... ... ... ...

Then I looked ahead and saw…


Then...

...lights, camera, action

... ... ... ... ... ...

Once it was all said and done. And the new President was sworn in…the crowd was absolutely elated and overcome with joy…








I’m going to end with one picture that wraps this experience up for me…

I believe we ALL are proud to be Americans…some for the very first time in their lives.
So Michelle, you are NOT alone.



Outro:
'Our voices will ring together
until the 12th of never
we ALL...
will live love forever
as 1
(Fantasy by Earth, Wind, and Fire)
