Geraldine Martindale		January 20th, 2009 11:22 am ET As with the entire country & the world today, I am watching history unfold. My heart is filled with pride and my eyes shed tears as the first "BI-RACIAL" president is sworn into office. Why is Barack Obama only referred to as an African American? Everyone knows that although his father was African, his mother was white and he was raised by white grandparents???? Let's be honest and fair here! If there is a need to reference President Obama's racial heritage, let's call it as it is! BI-RACIAL! I have huge admiration and respect for Barack Obama and have high hopes for him leading our country into a new era, We desperately need a lead such as President Obama. I also pray for him and his beautiful family everyday. God Bless Barack Obama and the United States of America! A proud American, Geraldine Martindale
