I watched a part of the inauguration just now on the 5.30 pm show and I had tears in my eyes - it showed a clip of the great Martin Luther King. It was terrific to see. It was quite moving.

ive said this everytime he has been brought up and im not changing my views now that he is president. i really dont like him! there's something about him that scares me!
what america does always has a knock on effect on England because we are allies...and vice versa.
i just hope im wrong!

Yes, Micki, they are but I did not like him, nor his father either. I like President Obama and he is going to have it hard - just hope though that he remembers he is President of all Americans and not just some. I think America needed a change and perhaps Pres Obama is the one to do just that. It will be an uphill slog.
Good luck to him.

I wiill reserve my judgementy on Obama, I too am a bit wary of him just like Zoe, but I hope that he proves me wrong.
I have great respect for Martin Luther King.

Micki those quotes are hilarious and I will certainly miss Bush as a figurehead to poke fun at. I despised so many decisions made by his government which made me dislike the man intensely.
For now I have seen nothing to dislike about Obama. In my eyes, he has certainly gone right to the top of the leader board today by starting the process to close down Guantanamo Bay. That's an excellent start.
