Tomorrow is a big day for "us" Americans
|
Tomorrow we Americans turn a big corner in our history.
Our first president of color and hopefully a new government
that will change many of the wrongs made in the last horrible
8 years.
To get into the mood - here is a link to an incredible song
from the concert at the Lincoln Memorial.
Just listen to that choir and listen to the words of the song.
Tomorrow will be a day to remember!
Rejoicing!!

 He has a lot of work ahead of him. But I think it�s about time for a change.
Being the old lady that I am, I remember the 50�s, they weren�t the best of times for the U.S.
Let�s hope he gets enough support to do a great job during some difficult times there.
Go Obama GO!!!!!! |

Please don�t get me wrong - I�m more than glad that Bush�s time is over - but other people here have been told not to post political and/ or religious comments. I think this is one and I agree with the people who say, that this forum isn�t for political or religious subjects.
Sorry - don�t want to be rude.

We are talking about an historical event in an English speaking country.
This is relevant to anyone and everyone here.
sorry if you don�t agree.

I agree this is a historical event, but how do you define historical? The war in Israel and Palestine is, too. It�s part of history. But that is political?! As I said - I�m glad Bush�s history, but that�s still political and the consensus here has been, that political subjects shouldn�t be posted on the forum?
Where do we draw the line otherwise?

I agree with Libertybelle. The forum is not the place for political matters but Obama�s inauguration goes beyond that. It is an event of great historical significance - not only for Americans, but for the whole world.
I was in Atlanta when he was elected and, although I am not American, I shared the people�s hopes and enthusiasm. |

I agree when you say we shouldn�t be discussing politics in this forum. However, I also agree with Anna when she says Obama�s inauguration goes beyond that. Right now I�m watching the news on Portuguese TV about it and I certainly hope this�ll be the beginning of a new era, not only for America but to the rest of the world. |

I�m not denying it goes beyond that. Far be it from me.
BUT: Where do we draw the line???

I agree with sivia, Anna and Libertybell, it is an important event for the whole world. I don�t think it should be compared to a war. Anyone who has ever studied American History understands the importance of the event.
Meitz, I think you are just trying to provoke a reaction.
