My good friend Saleema and my “Touched By The Light”, back-lite wall lamp.

The “Touched By The Light”, wall lamp featuring Obama’s photo is absolutely beautiful; Raymond W. Holman Jr. captured his great presence. His sincerity and strength shines thoughout the photo you can actually feel his warmth and genuine concern. The photo looks as if he’s communing with the heavens as he speaks to the people.  Saleema C.

Great conversation in Charlotte NC this past weekend regarding President Obama. This young man stated the need to hold on to your confidence, to stay firm, during these challenging times.

Wisdom from the young and next great generation of Black People in DC and around the country.

Obama is very refreshing, new. I think of him as a revolutionary. He revolutionized the political process and he’s revolutionizing the presidency. He’s the anti Reagan. He is liberal and proud. I love the way he is unapologetic about himself.

My friend from Philadelphia Pa., stated to me, “he felt as if he got his life back” when Obama became President Obama.

During a conversation with my friend from Philadelphia, he stated to me,

Warm hats were needed today on the Mall for the Inaugural Ceremonies.

It is crowded out here.

It was very crowded out on the Mall on Janraury 20, 2009 which was good, the crowd kept you warmer on a cold day.
