I cannot believe the ingnorance of the comments/posts displayed here. Look at the nonsense you people are talking about!! Of all the things to comment about: "Also, Michelle Obama loves the light-skinned biracial men! LOL!" And why is everyone still caught up on race? That's why we will not get any where with this level of thinking.

I would have preferred to hear Etta James do At Last instead of Beyonce. I think it would have been more appropriate. This is a great day in history especially for those who lived through the injustices.

Words can not express the feelings I had yesterday watching our President Barack Obama being sworn in. Well at last my lord at last we have arrived and my prayers go out to the President and his family may he keep them safe in our trouble times. I'm so proud to finally say that I'm an American and mean it.

Essence need to do a better job on showing all these photo's. Some type of slideshow would do much better. My goodness! However, I appreicate the captured history! This is an awesome time for America!

Obama is BLACK and very much proud of that fact. And he sure loves his DARK-SKINNED women. lol!!!! Let me also mention the fact that he is building a STRONG black family. Those who have liberated from mental slavery understand that black comes in many hues and shades. Peace.
