Today, as I watched several news station cover the inauguration I found myself watching WGN because of the commentary, the other stations did a great job even BET i was so excited that they had Hill Harper up there with his fine self. But WGN had me laughing and kept me informed. When the Bush family walked down the red carpeted stairs a weight was lifted of my shoulders and a sigh of relief flowed out of my mouth. We made it through his presidency. Obama's inauguration was shown on MTV, BET, CNN, C-Span, C-Span 2, Univision, ABC, CBS, WGN, FOX, and many more. Although I don’t believe his presidency was not the best and nor was his decisions, running a country has to be hard and you can’t please very one. I am now regretting not going to D.C. but I'll be there for his second term. At the end of the day something historical has happen, its more than historical, is a stepping stone,it shows progress, and delivers hope to those who dream big, but doesn't believe their dreams will come true, it’s so much more, that I can’t even put into words. My grandmother was born in 1920 and here in her life time 2009 we have an African American President, a president that is truly of the people, he can connect to everyone.
BET has truly did a great job, there really did their research, made great comparisons. Hill Harper is AWESOME he has known Obama for 20 yrs they met in law school and he was covering the inauguration for BET. Unlike election night they were pretty current. I really enjoyed WGN coverage and their commentary, C-Span just played music and images but no coverage.
We weren’t just celebrating a black president we were celebrating a birth of freedom, a new change, You could hear the crowd chanting Obama..The girls look beautiful, and Michelle finally got the dress right, she finally looked amazing, and didn’t look like a casual mom, she dressed the part. As Obama walked to his seat I was wondering what was going through his mind and how is he able to stay so calm. This one man standing for change and representing a million plus voices. I couldn't stop the tears, and like always his speeches are breath taking.
I didn't like Mrs. Franklins hat...and she mumbled over some words while singing. and the poet her poem was way to much, to complex for the event and made me lose interest, it didn't keep the fire burning inside.
Congratulations to our 44Th President of the United States of America Barack H. Obama
