My President is BARACK OBAMA!!

I noticed today, on this glorious day in history, that a lot of people keep saying "My President is BLACK"...and that's fine. Don't get me wrong...it's GREAT. But I feel like we are focusing too much on the color of his skin and not WHO he actually is.

I mean...you could throw any old brotha in there and say "my President is black" but are u sure u would like that person? Are you sure you would trust that person to run your country? Look at who President Obama IS...as a person. He's a GREAT man, a fabulous husband, and a terrific father. And not only that but HE has what it takes to bring TONS of people together. Not every black man has that capability.

Aside from all of that...The Inauguration was wonderful. I didn't go but I was just as content watching it from my warm bed. I was more interested in the behind the scenes stuff than the actual Inauguration...but that's just me. I'm really nosey so I wanted to know what was going on in the limo and stuff. Like really...did anyone else wonder what the conversation between President Obama and Bush was on the way to the ceremony? Had to be awkward right? Like "Soo....how does it feel to be the most hated person in the country?" LOL...I'm sorry....

But yea...HOW cute were Sasha and Malia?? They are SO sophisticated! I just hope they don't rebel in their teen years...That would suck.

And watching the Neighborhood Ball damn near brought my ass to tears. First of all Beyonce killed that song and just imagining how happy she had to have singing it for them...gosh. And the love between Pres. Obama and Michelle! You don't find black men like THAT anymore...darn.

I got kinda pissed off at a few things today...and they are as follows:

* WHY in the HELL did Senator Kennedy have to collapse and take all the light from Obama?? Can they EVER let us have a MOMENT??? DaMn!

* What the fuck was wrong with Mariah's voice during the Neighborhood Ball?

*WHY...oh WHY did Alicia (as much as I love her) have to sing No One for the trillionth time? And what was with her fake tan?? Can we PLEASE get the old Alicia back?

* Why did Aretha have that big ass bow on her hat like she was going to church?

* The Obamas had to go to TEN fuckin Balls??! STARTING at 8:30?? WTF? What time will they sleep???

*Who the hell were those "Anti-gravity" people...CORNBALLS! They shoulda hit up the Jabbawockeez...on some real ish...


Iyanla Vanzant made a valid point today in an interview...We need to start calling him President Obama instead of Barack...As a sign of respect. We didn't call Bush "George"...(but we DID call him a bunch of other things...lol) But no forreal ppl. It's time we rise above...no more "Barack" cuz none of ya'll even know him personally anyway...

Ok now go enjoy the last 2 hours of this historic day...
