Ok folks, the Angry Black Man is going to suspend all anger on the occasion of this auspicious event. Today is truly the beginning of a new era. Our President has just challenged us in his inaugural address to "put away childish things" and work to rebuild America in this "New Era of Responsibility", which he defines as "-- a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world; duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task."
So today, each of us who really loves America must examine ourselves, look deep within to seek what we can do to contribute to this effort. For, in our new President's words..."This is the price and the promise of citizenship."
So ABM is shelving his anger for a day to reflect on history, but tomorrow I'll be right back at it, for as long as injustice, corruption, stupidity and REPUGNICANS exist in America...ABM will still have work to do, but for today you can call me PA...Proud American!
