Today is the historic inauguration of Barack Obama. It is historical because he is the first African-American to win this office. This is a huge step forward in our country considering some forty years ago this was unheard of. At that time blacks and whites were segregated and the thought of an African-American president would have been laughed at. This is also a historic day considering yesterday was Martin Luther King Day. I understand the importance of today but I feel it is overhyped. Yes this is historic but he hasn't done anything yet. He is being treated like a god even though he has yet to accomplish anything. He currently is being considered one of the best presidents ever That is an outrage because he could fail or he could triumph and deserve the hype he is getting. The only way to find out is by watching him for the next four years. That will determine if he is the great savior that everyone is making him out to be.
