President Barack Obama!

Finally-- Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States!

Read/Watch Obama's Inaugural Speech

We can now safely bookmark the White House Web Page

I particularly like the section on Civil Rights... Scroll down the page..

UPDATE:
After angry complaints about not airing (gay) Rev. Gene Robinson’s Invocation at the “We Are One” Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial, and counter blaming between HBO and the Presidential Inaugural Committee, HBO has ADDED the full ceremony, including Robinson’s Invocation to the future broadcasts of the concert/celebration. You can view it online at:

There will probably be a DVD and/or iTunes video soon which should also include the full ceremony...
(Maybe the Obama-haters in the gay community, mostly bitter Hillary supporters, who spread the lies about a Obama/HBO conspiracy to back stab the gay community will shut up and do some more constructive political organizing now..)

UPDATE:
All the commotion over who was praying at the inauguration events overshadowed the more fundamental issue of WHY religion and prayer are even part of a national public/civil event like the inauguration! Obama did at least mention the 15% or so of us who do NOT believe in any "god" at all, some Christianists were upset that Obama would question whether this was a Christian nation!

Greta has an atheist's perspective:
On Being an Atheist and Watching the Inauguration

Atheists must COME OUT of the closet!

With recent best-selling books by atheists Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, it seems like atheists and secular humanists may have finally reached a point where they can become a politically organized group to counter the Christo-fascists who have virtually dictated social and political policies in the United States for the past decade. I have little "faith" in the weak liberal Christian churches who are losing membership and political clout. It is time, as Richard Dawkins argues in his speeches, for American atheists to get politically organized to fight theocracy, and to promote science and secular humanism instead of living in fear and silence. As a gay atheist, I see many similarities to "coming out" for atheists and gay people. It took me a little longer to "come out" as an atheist than as a gay man. Atheists are still probably the most hated and feared group in American society, but things will change as more and more people admit that they do NOT believe in the sky-gods of Christians, Jews and Muslims. And if we want to preserve democracy and secular constitutional government, we better get politically organized! But organizing atheists and humanists is like herding a bunch of cats! Now there is a SECULAR political action group to counter the Christian Coalition--the Secular Coalitoin for America which currently includes a coalition of secular groups: American Humanist Association, Atheists Alliance Int'l, Freedom from Religion Foundation, and others. It may be the best opportunity yet for secular humanists and atheists to gain some political power.
