My God, I've learned so much today. If I never understood the principles and the ideals of freedom, and equality, and what a working government feels like, and the presence of respect for all upon which this country was built, I get it now. The ceremonies were remarkable from sunup to sundown, and it aint over yet. I feel like I was there, although I know that actually being there would probably be so much more of an unremarkable, and heart-warming feeling. nonetheless, thanks abc.
I loved all of the "ten-dollar" words I've heard today from the commentators mainly.
and I LOVED hearing ...
a) the first person to address Barack as "Mr. President", and the sly smile that came across his face.
b) Michelle being FLLYYY in this brickness we call winter.
c) the cuteness of sasha and malia.
d) the black bands in the PARADE!!! (yesss delstate, i see you!)
e) "Let Bush's outgoing photos be 'respectfully disposed'."
pleeez let me do it.
f) the obamas in that black caddy with the black driver and them FINE black secret service men.
g) Ms. First Lady holding the bible and looking deep into his eyes as Mr. President was sworn in. whew.
H) and the BEST part in my opinion....Obama saying DEUCES to Bush and his wife as they were forced to evacuate the premises. yesssss. the best part of bush's entire run was seeing him fly the hell away on that helicopter.
so if u have never seen a bow before....THIS is a BOW! yesss ms. franklin.and the most exciting ball of the ten that Mr. President and First Lady Michelle (love it) must attend ALL in one night: The Neighborhood Ball hasnt even happened yet.
I'm beat, what a day. What a country. The slaves have risen and held hands around that presidential city they worked so hard to build. Thank You.
So the comments about President Obama not being "black enough" or "proud enough" , or any of the other things that I am myself am guilty of once saying, should die tonight. Because that man paid HOMAGE (in my opinion) to his blackness today. He was proud, he was confident, and enjoyed those black bands and drumlines that came through the parade with those silver and gold pants on doing it up. If you expected him to be wearing a dashiki under his suit, I am sure you were disappointed, but he did NOT shy away from the fact that he has made history today as the first black prez with a black wife at his side. LOVED it. but people wil criticize regardless, so bring it.
I want one of them glass bowls that Mr. President and Mr. Vice President got by the way.
i cant wait to see them dance to beyonce's voice. does it get any bigger? honestly. signing off. more thoughts to come.
thank ya lord.
