obama

"brand new day" - some captions you'd see in the papers last Wednesday, when Barack Obama, make that President Obama had his inauguration.

i'm not into politics, never was. haha but like what i always say, his platforms and promises are too grand and idealistic, which is good. he has a vision, vision that one day wars would end, everyone gets a fair deal, but how? i guess, he could make it if those people who were there in DC would start the change and do the change, then maybe.

too much emotions were shown that day, Wednesday. blacks were in tears, male or female, honored and finally felt alive. even beyonce was speechless when she was interviewed. that finally after years and years of slavery and racism, they had representative to show other Americans that they too can succeed, more than they can imagine. it's moving to see them on tv that day, so proud and inspired to do something more and make a change.

second day of his Presidency, just saw in the news, which is a 100 plus points for me. haha he signed 3 bills today, about the prison somewhere, treatment of terrorist in prison, and something else. haha most of the time, any president would sign (with all the cameras and cabinet behind him/her) the bill then that's it. but for Obama, one, he wasn't really prepared or i guess he didn't know that he was supposed to sign 3 bills at that moment. second, before he signed the bill, he read the vital part of it and further explained what it means and how it would affect the country and related. no President has ever done that. he let's his people know the details in lay man's term and starts the change on his second day of work.

him, being the President means maybe a start to end racism (esp. with blacks), a more humane and realistic way of handling the White House, less drama. and hopefully, start of a brand new day for their country.
