Today Is A Day Of Celebration
Just a quick comment on a special day. This United States Presidential election saw many firsts including the first woman and first non-white Presidential candidates. Today, the United States swears in the first non-white President. A man who has a multi-cultural family background. A man of color.
Regardless of political or economic beliefs, this is a glorious day for social progress. Not that the U.S. elected a President of color but that color was no longer the barrier to becoming President. The United States is the greatest social experiment in history. Even today there is no other country where such an event could take place. Today is a proud day for all of humanity. A day when we embrace dignity for all people.
Obviously, we will have an opportunity to critique coming economic policy but in a world that has often been intolerant for the most bane of reasons, let's celebrate the social achievement of today.
Congratulations Barack Obama.
