It's Official

Barack Obama is the President of the United States. How sweet it is.

I really liked his Inaugural speech, here are some of my favorite lines...

"Greatness is never a given. It must be earned"

" As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals."

"Know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more."

"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."

and of course, the most historic line....

"A man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath."

Here's the full speech if you are interested. A must see.
