Obama Inaugurated In My Living Room

It really happened: here in Lilongwe, Malawi, Barak Obama was inaugurated in my living room. Seriously. Saw the whole thing...on TV. I couldn't help thinking that this was the making of history. Lots of people said that.

Now that Rick Warren Guy and Lowrey, they really did something! It was turning out to be a very symbolic event with lots of things anyone could read into. But for me, the time to test the pudding of Obama's administration has come. Everyone is watching...not least of all, Africa, (or should I say Kenya?). There is a lot we expect from this son of an African immigrant who has taken, in his own words, "a sacred oath".

Truth be told, he has made it crystal clear that he is an American of African descent: Afro-American. He is America's head of state. I think we do well to remember that as Africans.

All the best President Obama.
