To: Kenneth E. Phillipps who wrote (5094 ) 1/19/2009 6:28:31 AM From: GROUND ZERO™ Respond to The very fact that a black man with a moslum middle name will take the Oath for President of the United States after only a relatively few years since the race struggles of the 60's and only 7 years after the attack of 9/11 by moslum extremists is a genuine tribute to the magnificent fabric and spirit of the American people... this is just one of the very many reasons I'm proud to be an American and why I'm so proud of my country, nothing is ever perfect but nothing and no other country even comes close to what we can achieve when we put our hearts and minds to it... the election of a black man to lead this nation has never happen in any other country anywhere in the world except, of course, in those countries on the continent of Africa, and many of those countries in europe have been around centuries longer than we have... I'll definitely stand behind him and hope he can rise to the occasion, he needs all the help he can get and he can't do it all by himself... I'll scrutinize his every word, but I'll cheer him on, unlike the liberals who rooted for the demise and failure of America and the government, I found that to be disgraceful and shameful... certainly, the times we live in give obama that rare opportunity that most other Presidents never had, e.g., to become a great leader...
