I've never really thought about it this way, but I am actually proud to be alive to have witnessed the swearing in of a black American President. I am so glad that the people of the USA actually managed to do this and that this particular person, Barack Obama, was the chosen man. Sure I think Bush Jnr had a fair bit to do with it due to the way he handled the role as President, but Obama just has a breathe of fresh air about him, a relaxed confidence who seems at ease with himself and he comes across as a true leader.
This might sound a bit weird or strange, but I am proud of what the people of the USA have achieved.

It's not weird or strange. I don't care about skin colour, but I'm pleased that he has some policies with substance, plus a goal to run a transparent government. I particularly liked the acknowledgement in his speech that safety and ideals are not things you need to choose between.
NOT black, he is of mixed race 50% white 50% black, when we people get this through their heads!
He is a human being like anyone else, not special and will probably do a mediocre job in my opinion.
