I have spent most of today clued to the live coverage of President Barak Obama’s Inauguration to a second term on the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s holiday. .I sensed in his remarks, the energy of righteous anger. His first term seemed hard with reelection always at his shoulder. Now, with that behind him, he announced his agenda with clarity; an agenda that is inclussive of all, respectful of the earth, and committed to yhr future.
son of a white woman and a Kenyan national has been elected to a second term. He is now walking down the parade path, down Pennsylvania Ave. and I am holding my breath. Dear God., keep him safe. I am indeed affected the deaths of John and Robert Kennedy and King. He looks confident and happy as he and Michelle move along.

From that time to now when an African American having lunch in the White House as President elect…eating lobster and bison, ptrdifing! Head of what we have come to call “The free world.”
Today I am very proud of the United States!
