^^^ Agreed that shouldn't be what Obama is about and I don't think that's why people voted for him either (at least the majority of those who voted for him).
But I can't blame people for being excited, especially older African Americans who lived with racism and persecution on a daily basis.
It's one day, and I think it helps bring people together so I'm all for it. I can understand why some wouldn't be interested, but I can see how it is an important event to many.
The burden of being president will fall very quickly with what Bush is leaving behind. Might as well have a little fun now.
