Say whatever you want about our new president, but there is no denying that history was made today.  January 20, 2009 will stand as a day that the United States of America finally throws off the chains of its legacy of slavery and segregation.  That’s not to say that racism doesn’t still occur, because it does.  But we have certainly reached a new level of equality.

I spent all day in meetings at work.  I finally got a chance to watch President Obama’s inaugural address at about 8:00pm tonight.  The man is a great speaker.  I don’t know what it is about certain people, but some people are just able to inspire.  I did cast my vote for Obama in November because I wanted to see something different in the White House (Like your vote for president in Utah really matters… stupid electoral college…).  It will be interesting to see how the next 100 days and how 2009 progresses, but I do think we may finally start to see changes.

Note to self… check back in 365 days…
