A Historic Day

Today is quite a day. For myself, it started with getting to sleep in with one of my classes being canceled. To millions of others, the day started very early. They flocked to the Inauguration in hordes unlike any other has seen.

Today is a day of unity. Despite how one voted in the Primary or even the Election itself, a President has been chosen. I did not voted for Obama. This may come as a shock to some of my friends who did vote for him. I voted McCain in the Primary and the Election. Unlike others who has voted for McCain, I voted with my mind, not my heart.

For I am criticized for my decision. I believe that one should not vote based on their parents beliefs, political party, race, or economic level. People really need to read into the candidates before selecting one to run the Free World. With this aside, today is not the day to argue who voted what way.

Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States of America. We should all celebrate and pray for him. He has quite a bit of work ahead of him. I hope he can accomplished all that he promised he would and much much more.
