Wow, what an amazing day this is. There is so much historical reference going on right before our eyes. I watched the Inauguration from my computer on MySpace.com today. Who would have thought four years ago that we as a nation would be here today, tweeting our thoughts, youtubing our images and myspacing our deepest reflections?

And how about our kids? What are they experiencing today is not only of historical importance but it is relevant change to their own lives. This is the first President that kids today can relate too. He has a blackberry and he tweets and he’s “not that old”. That has got to be an amazing feeling for these kids.  Kids are getting interested in politics and the idea of change.  Kids these days seem to be compelled to “do” something, to get involved and be a part of the change that they want to see.

I think the new social media paradigm has given these kids, and us too I guess, a new forum for expressing our desire to “do” something as well as a medium in which they can see the impact of their efforts.  With Barack Obama as a leader, you have to be inspired by his speeches to strive for a better life, a better world for all, even if you don’t agree with his politics or religion.

I found this video today and couldn’t stop crying long enough to write this post.  So even if you don’t agree with our new President, you should still take a look at this video and take in the impact that this man is having on this new generation of globally aware children.

Let me know what your thoughts are.  I would love to have your feedback on this!
