Hello President Obama,
As I celebrated my 37th Birthday on the 23rd of April I take this opportunity in congratulating you, your family and your team for your continued efforts without falter. It is not by power but remember by God's Grace all will be well.
My predictions for you has been succesful so far. I continue to pray that God will give you the insight to continue with the MISSION FOR THE VISION. Congratulations!

What should have been a cause for celebration turned into yet another display of homophobic bigotry, first with the selection of controversial homophonbic minister, Rick Warren, then with the rude, shabby treatment of openy-gay Episcopal Bishop, Eugene Robinson, who was invited to kick things with a prayer. The sound system was turned off, meaning that only a handful of people present could hear him, and at the behest of Obama's Presidential Inauguration Committee, HBO was told to start filming the event live, after Robinson's prayer was nearly finished.
All things considered it seemd like the same old bigotry, divisiveness, disrespect and empty hypocritical rhetoric. It was a horrible start and an inauguration to forget!
Historic? Yes. But not in a good way.
