Obama takes the Oath of Office, becoming the nation’s 44th president.

Shortly after noon E.S.T. today, history was made. President Obama was sworn into office, becoming the nation’s first African American president just one day after the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial holiday.

Many of you are probably thinking that this is a very late post, and it is, but I was too busy observing history on my television screen in amazement, honor and pride.

This is not just a victory for Blacks or African Americans, it is a victory for women, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Gay Americans, people all across the world; it is a victory for everyone.
