President Barack Obama and American Greatness

The unique greatness of America is on display today. Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the most powerful nation in the world today. President Obama acquired this role through peaceful elections between contentious political parties. A peaceful transfer is rare in history even in small nations. For the leader of a great and powerful nation to calmly surrender power under the law, to a political opponent is a miracle, yet it happens regularly in the United States.
I stand proud that we as a nation can set this example for the world. I also wish great success to our new President as he takes on the burden of that high office.
