Barack Obama is Officially the 44th President

Today, at a little after 12 noon, Barack Hussein Obama took the Presidential Oath and was sworn into his office as the 44th President of the United States. Obama is the first Black president, as well, which made this day even more historic.

This is one of those days that you try to document because you know that you will have to tell your kids exactly where you were when the inauguration happened. 

Unfortunately, I was in class, but I was able to watch everything. It was so moving to see my campus stop completely to watch this momentous event. I don't think we will see something of this magnitude ever again. Obama is truly one of a kind. 

I was brought to tears when I realized that he has willingly taken the massive weight of an entire world's hopes and dreams upon his shoulders - and he carries it all with grace and a smile.

Nothing can bring down this day. 

However, it is sad to say that people have tried and probably will not stop trying to sour this achievement.

Several students at the University of Florida received a mass text message stating, "The monkey got out of the cage."

This simple sentence has caused turmoil and unrest among the offended students. Nobody opened their cell phone expecting to see such a horrible message against our will. I personally wrote the editor of the school newspaper, The Independent Florida Alligator and the CNN News Room. 

There will be more updates to come. However, let us not let this negativity and any others ruin this day.
