Today we live history.

Today we have lived history. Our nation, founded upon the principles of liberty and freedom has just inaugurated the first African American as president of this great Republic. The occurence of this historic event the day after a holiday commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. almost suggests a divine guiding force watching over this land. In Dr. King's time, he proclaimed that all men will be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Today I urge everyone to judge President Obama by the content of his character, and not the color of his skin. He must be judged by the content of his character just as any President before him, democrat or republican has been.

Today we make history, but history is the past. The actions and character of this President right now is what we should scrutinize and concern our selves with as this Republic is lead by him.

It should be no surprise (review these posts, 1 and 2) to the reader that I do not agree with many of the ideas proposed by the new President nor did I vote for him. My core values and beliefs remain steadfast, but something happened between this morning and now, Barack Obama became your President... he became my President... he became our President. (Review this post for more of my post-election feelings.)

Now it is our civic duty to support our President in leading us, learning all we can about the direction this country is being guided and when necessary, thoughtfully question our leader when his path that may not be aligned with that of the people of this Nation.

May God bless America!
