Today our 44th president was inaugurated. Today we witnessed history. Today a dream came true. Today a change was made. For the next four years, Barack H. Obama will be our president. Today he said “the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America – they will be metâ€. and we believe him. We have faith in him. We support him. As John F. Kennedy said 28 years ago today: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”. We are in this together Mr. President! Let’s do it!
