What an historic milestone in American history - the first mixed-race President of the United States. This will surely pave the way for an African-American President in the future.

I'm relieved that it's finally done. It's hard for me to see all the festivities, parties, celebrities when we are in recession. Mmm, at least when I am ...

You missed the point. This paves the way for all Americans of any race and socio-economic background. Previously, it was a whites-only club, usually rich white folks.

......... last time I looked, Obama wasn't living in a cardboard box in Chicago!!!!! You have to have some $$$$$ to afford a MULTI-million dollar home!!!!! Although I wonder how Chris Dodd got a $900,000 loan from CountryWide on a $155,000\yr salary???

Gee, they're a minority company.

I wonder if they would have given their employees the day off, if McCain had won?

McCain is not a minority (neither a woman nor a non-white). But "you betcha" everybody would have the day off if *his inauguration could draw 2M+ people into a tiny area and heightened security was needed to thwart a bunch of nutjobs wanting to kill him for racist reasons. This is America. We learned from our own history.

They would really be nutjobs. Who in the hell would want Biden to even take out their trash?

I'm American. I take out my own trash. Do you know how to do that? Or do you require a mexican or other illegal that's willing to do what *some Americans find distateful?

I'm wondering why they call him just black. You never hear anyone refer to him as white. Weren't his mom, who was white, and his maternal grandparents, who were both white, the ones who raised him? I think that those that refer to Obama only as black are really doing a disservice to his mom and grandparents.

All jokes aside,

Black, to me is an absence of color – “a black hole” traps all light in it’s gravitational force.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black

White on is a transparent color – a clear, translucent spectrum (not really natural or even possible to achieve in nature).

It does not matter. Today is a truly historic moment...
