Inauguration Day

Obama is finally president. Chief justice screwed up the oath, Michelle wore an outfit that I won't opine on but it clearly was not warm enough for the occcasion. Teddy had siezures during lunch and it looks like night is drawing nigh even though the parade is not nearly over with.

The poet wasn't particularly inspiring and the closing benediction was ridiculous and racist and my thought was, wow, they are still complaining after a black becomes president. Then I heard a news commentary on it which confirmed what I was thinking.

Otherwise, a peaceful transition of power with current, new, and former presidents shaking hands and greeting each other and it makes you proud to be an American. GBUSA

Everything began and ended with prayer which makes me laugh at the people who insist there is no room for God in government. They are saying that this is the most populist president since Roosevelt! It will be interesting to see how fast Obama gets grey. Has anyone else noticed that he has gotten more grey just throughout the campaign?

Also, Michelle couldn't stop holding his hand while they walked the parade route, If she let go to waive, her arm stretched over her body to continue holding his hand. I wondered what that was about.
