Very shortly, an African American man will move from his private residence into a much larger and infinitely more expensive one owned not by him but by the taxpayers. A vast lawn, a perimeter fence and many well trained security specialists will insulate him from the rest of you but the mere fact that this man will be residing in this house should make you all stop and count your blessings - because it proves that you live in a nation where anything is possible.

Many believed this day would never come. Most of you hoped and prayed that it would, but few of you actually believed you would live to see it. Racism is an ugly thing in all of its forms and there is little doubt that if this man had moved into this house fifteen years ago, there would have been a great outcry - possibly even rioting in the streets..
Today, you can all be both grateful and proud that no such mayhem will take place when this man takes up residency in this house.
This man, moving into this house at this time in your nation's history is much more than a simple change of addresses for him - it is proof of a change in your attitude as a nation. It is an amends of sorts - the righting of a great wrong. It is a symbol of your growth, and of your willingness to "judge a man, not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character".
There can be little doubt now that the vast majority of you truly believe that this man has earned both his place in history and his new address. His time in this house will not be easy - it will be fraught with danger and he will face many challenges. I am sure there will be many times when he asks himself how in the world he ended up here and like all who have gone before him, the experience will age him greatly.
But I for one will not waste an ounce of worry for his sake - because in every way a man can, he asked for this. His whole life for the past fifteen years appears to have been inexorably leading this man toward this house. It is highly probable that in the past, despite all of his actions, racism would have kept this man out of this house. Today, you should thank the Lord above that you are an American and that you live in a nation where wrongs are righted, where justice matters and where truly anything is possible.

lol...love it.

its so true, makes you think
