Obama sworn as US President Live

[Kardan]

no been there done that................

if hes president hes gna have to speak to everyone more than once :S so shudnt rli b nrevous

see this doctor guy hes like "I've got a reason to vote" because the dudes blak dnt mean its a reason to vote for him for christ sake.

It is a reason to vote for him? 40 years ago the suituation in America was much different - Black people couldn't sit at a certain places on a bus let alone become president. By Obama being elected it's a big leap forward - hence why everyone keeps saying it's history in the making. People wern't this hyped when Bush or Clinton became president.

And he has a right to be nervous, he's been waiting for this day for about two years.

[scottish]

he'll be fine.

I'm not trying to be funny, the american president is black.....

There is a massive chance of a real American person (not an african tribal man) to assasinate him.

oh how naive and narrow-minded can u get

Thats a stupid reason, "oh its 2 white guys not votin" next its "oh heres a blak guy with **** policies and a white guy wif gud policies lets vote 4 da blak guy it'll be like history coz hes blak n ppl av nvr voted 4 a blak and im blak lets vote 4 blak" thats idiotic, you vote for a president as you beleive he can run your country and help your country not because hes black :|

entrance is right, voting for someone because they're black isn't making a leap forward, it's like not voting for someone because they're black: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_discrimination

I'm not saying it's right, but they're people out there that have voted for him for that reason.

its probs publicity stunt.

a lot of people including him are trying to stress the importance of public service to the american people in a rough economic time like this. nice criticizing with no background information :]

THERE ARE JUST AS MANY IF NOT MORE PEOPLE WHO VOTED AGAINST BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK THAN FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS BLACK.

Umm so imagine if a *REMOVED* become our priminister, could you imagine how most of the english people would feel? Well thats how it is for a lot of American people, it only takes one to assasinate him...

the problem with your logic is that you think he isnt protected. the president of the united states is the most protected person on earth, and barack obama if anything is even more protected. there's secret service covering a radius of 2 miles everywhere he goes. one angry racist cant even get close to him.

well if one did become prime minister, then it shows that society has gradually accepted that race to be in power of the country. of course they'll always be people against it, but as RedStratocas said, they'd be heavily protected. that protection may not always suffice and problems still may get through, but tbh its unlikely as they've probably learnt from past mistakes.
