Good morning everyone

You know.............the ONLY reason I live in my town is so that my kids will get a good education. Our town has been up there in the rankings year after year. WELL..........this morning I asked the kids if they were excited to watch Obama's inauguration. Here's what I got:

Megan : "I HOPE we don't watch it. NO ONE likes him and it's BORING."

Emily : "what's an inauguration?" after I told her it's the swearing in of the President and that it's historic since he's the first black president and because we're in such a financial downward spiral she replied, "nuh uh...............Martin Luther King was the first black president".

OMG someone shoot me now, will ya?

Now I'm going to sound like an old foegy Kids these days

My mom's class is studying government, so I think she's planning on having them watch the inauguration. I"ll have to see how they reacted.

The childrens' school is watching it today also. It's a very big historical event for them...kind of like some of us with the Challenger blowing up or others hearing about JFK's assasination.....something we will not forget seeing at school.

Just talked to my sister. She has 2 of the 200,000 tickets to be "close" to the inauguration. They left her apartment at 6 am, and have been in line for 3 hours.

Know what ticks me off the most???? Emily is a straight A student who has been on the high honors list each semester since she's been at Middle School. WTH?

i am going to be late for work... can't stop watching the tv!!! lol

[amal 4]

what channel and what time? if not a channel, then what web address? I wanna watch it....

I'm already getting tired of the "the first BLACK president" thing. He's not just black, he's black and white, with middle eastern immediate family members. SO imho, he's not the first black president. He's the first president that represents 3 different cultures and 3 different heritages, and 3 different societies. I wish they'd touch on that rather than always saying "the first black president"....

At work they said from 1130-1230 they are going to turn on the tv's in the conference rooms for those that can come down.

Except that for hundreds of years here in america, if you have one drop of african blood in your veins, you're black. The vast majority of african americans have white/european ancestors, but they self identify as black. IMHO, if someone self identifies as something, that's what I'll call them.

On a related note, NPR was just highlighting the mixed nature of Obama's family and his in-law's family. Michelle's brother is married to a white woman.
