I was working when Obama became President but I set my DVR so I could watch the events when I got home. For me, this was a historic day. Very emotional. My children are black and I have witnessed racism and have felt powerless for them in many ways. Obama becoming President gives me hope for our future. I am glad that my black son will be able to look at the President of the United States and say, "I can do anything I want." People like Obama pave the way for many other minorities and it gives them hope. For that I am glad. So for me and my kids, it was a good, good day!
