DESTINY had called him, he is the trail blazer...even me, i wasn't on his side then i must admit. i thought he can't win over McCain, that Hillary would be the better choice but he proved us wrong. the stars all aligned to give him the victory, it was meant to be, short of a miracle. he overcame the enormous challenges to be the next top man here in the U.S., 47 years old but looked very young, very intelligent although with not a lot of experience compared to those he had competed with for this job...i came to the conclusion that if it's yours, God will find a way to give it to you as He did for him :) the nation's capital prepared for the most attended and the most exciting inauguration ever for a president elect. what a fate, what a blessing for a chosen man. the beacon of hope to a lot of us...that we can say tomorrow should be better and i am very hopeful and very optimistic. God had spoken. God bless us all...***
today is a bright and sunny day
no clouds adorn the sky even a single one
birds are flying gleefully above our eyes
people are singing out of their hearts
the tune of hope, freedom and of choice
the tune of change for the better of all human kind...

I've been in this country, my second home for more than half of my life now and I've never seen a celebration in Washington D.C. that rivals this one. the pageantry of this occasion is no match to anything that I've seen on television so far. more than 150 million USD was spent for this day alone, imagine that. with the dire economic situation that we're in, one would think that there would be some restraint in spending money but i think all is worth it. after all history is being made. the first black African American President is sworn into the highest office of the land, so it is a very big deal, indeed. celebrating change comes with a hefty prize and the donors to this occasion included those bailed out by the government using tax payers' moolah, hmn...now that kept me in thought for awhile :)
