Hello, Mr Obama!

A Black Man becoming President, Yesterday

"As much as I would love to see it, I don't think there will ever be a black President of the United States. It's a fantasy." I said that a year-and-a-half ago, when I first heard the name Barack Obama. Sometimes, it's nice to be wrong.

Say what you like about his politics; say what you like about America; say what you like about the promises he's made. The 20th of January was historic.

The BBC has very helpfully decided to track the New President's Professional Progress for his first 100 days in office. Read it all here.

Now, watch this man predict the possibility of a "negro" President "within the next forty years".
