President Barack Obama 2009 Inauguration and Address

Wow... regardless of how radical some of us we may be, this moment can not be understimated. This video speaks to the tears and screams spread all along the streets and backwoods of a nation founded on racism and intolerance. This video is one that is for those who fought, fell, and yet were never heard until it was too late for their generation to be witness of today's historic event.

As a radical I quiestion the degree to which it really changes the culture that persists in the United States... but if this is to be recognized as a minimal gesture of liberal democracy at its finest, then it itself should also be recognized as a foundation for a greater vision of political participation and expresionism... that is hardly symbolic.

Today was a fascinating day for all... lets just hope that the following days and years offer many more fascinating moments.

The U.S.A. must change.
