Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has been inspired by president-elect Barack Obama of as late, leading him to get a tattoo in tribute of America's 44th president.

Arenas has "Change We Believe In" spread across the fingers of his left hand, and the number "44" as well to commemorate Obama's recent victory.

"He united people," Arenas said. "By him winning, it showed the world that we're not as racist as people think we are. I think that's the beauty of it. Not just because he's the first African-American president. It showed America is not as bad as people think we are."
