Our new president is tha cool-ist.

I still can't believe it. The Bush regime is officially over. And Barack Obama is our new president. 

Barack Obama is the leader of our country- the one that we chose- because we believed in him- and all he would do for us- and all he would do to change the current corrupt government systems. 

I have never in my lifetime seen our country pull together like this to support something. So many people with a unified view on what we want for our future. And a unified excitement for change. I mean, artists are painting murals, musicians are writing song, graphics artists are designing t-shirts, celebs are making endorsements. So many American's (and people around the world) are figuring out creative ways that they can show their support. I posted a bunch of cool Obama-art on my Art Diary page. The link is on the right if you wanna check 'em out.

Isn't it cool that we have elected a leader that we are actually proud of, that we respect, and that we feel we can trust to make good decisions for us? I know I keep going on and on, but it's pretty incredible.

It's Febraury, which is Black History month. And in celebration of Black history month and of what we as a country accomplished this last year, here are some inspiring videos- new and old.

Our new leader, President Obama, addressing tha American people about the current state of the economy and how he would like to solve the problem. And at the end, tells us how he will be launching a website so that we can see how all of our tax dollars are being spent. Amazing.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous I Have A Dream speech. Makes me feel sad for the state the country at that time- and how far away Martin Luther King's dream seemed to be. And at the same time makes me feel all warm and fuzzy at how far we've come. We still have a long way to go, but we've made some big strides.

Ill Doctrine's last video blog post. JSmooth is feelin' a little of the same excitement and realism that I am.

Will.I.Am- We are the ones (side note: Zoe Kravitz is beautiful...)

These inspiring songs still ring true today.

Marvin Gaye- What's Goin' On/What's Happening Brother.

John Lennon- Power To The People

Stevie Wonder- Higher Ground

(Another side note: I don't even know if I can handle how much I love Stevie Wonder...)

And I love that our president communicates with us through YouTube and Itunes podcasts. Our new president is tha cool-ist.
