Tomorrow is the Big Day! the inauguration of Barack Obama. I didn't ever think in my lifetime I would ever see what I'm about to witness tomorrow. My parents didn't think they would live to see this either. I wish my grandparents had lived to see this day. As well as my great grandparents and those ancestors that came before them. For they endured the brutality of the middle passage, toiled in the cotton fields, and lived through the unfairness of segregation.
I wish some of my heros such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks could be here to see this day.
I wish that Ray Charles was still alive so that he could be invited to the inauguration to sing this song:

As the Bush administration comes to a close, I would like to dedicate a Ray Charles song to the Bush administration as well:
