YES We did!
 

Welcome President Obama!

You have some tough times ahead, but we have faith you can do so much more for this country. We know it will be hard, and painful, but we know your path is the one right for us and we'll try to be patient as change takes time.





(general we)

*So excited.*

Great speech. :)

I'm very happy I got to see this happen.

What I loved:

- the golf claps that greeted Rick Warren

- Aretha's awesome singing

- Obama's nod to the non-believers (Yay!)

- Obama's nod to science (double Yay!)

- Watching Dubya's squirmy demeanor during the speech.

- Sasha and Malia looking SO adorable!

- The amazing spectacle of so many people SO collectively excited.

So, who knows what comes next - maybe a new world, maybe the same old crap, but this is a moment to relish and remember.

At first I thought Obama biffed the oath, but apparently it was Roberts who mixed things up.

I'm waiting for the lawsuits about how he's not really president.

Other observations:

Obama's speech was good until the end when it went into wind-up, big finish platitude mode.

Warren's content was inoffensive and seemed to fit Obama's basic message about cooperation and humility.

Glad to hear Justice Stevens sounding healthy.

Cheney looked like Dr. Strangelove.

The poem: skillet, skillet, skillet.

It was totally Roberts. You'd think he might have practiced just a little bit.

Warren's prayer stunk. It was too slow, huge gaps between words... Even my religious parents thought it sucked. But then again, they probably thought that because he wasn't Catholic.
:D

Ladies and gentlemen... I'm please to announce that the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched back on.

It's nice to finally be able to call him 'President Obama', as opposed to President-Elect. It's a great day.:)
