It's a new day

So to be honest I wasn't going to watch the inauguration at all but then I remembered how it was such a historical event. I guess i'm so upset about how this country has turned out that I really don't care who is in office anymore. Things are only going to get worse before they get better. The first thing I thought when Obama came out was that "wow he must be really nervous." I saw all the security and all the bullet-proof glass. That has got to be hard on someone knowing that there are some people in this country who really don't want him here. He has so much resting on his shoulders and while he was speaking I could tell that he really was going to try to fix this hole America is in. He had so much poise so much confidence in him that I really do believe he was the best candidate to win the Presidency this year. Mind you, this was not my first reaction when he won president but after listening to his inauguration speech I could tell that we are going to be in good hands. Bush seemed happy to finally be leaving and letting Obama take care of this nasty economy. I guess Bush's name can finally be put to rest and people will finally give him a break. Who knows if Obama will do a better job than Bush or not?
Politics make me upset. If you couldn't already tell. So enough about the politics of the inauguration...
Mrs. Obama's dress was crazy looking, but beautiful in the same way. I thought it was funny that Obama's daughter was taking pictures of her dad and the whole event (it's not like there aren't going to be thousands of pictures available anyway). And it's amazing to see all the living president's in the same place at the same time. Just think of how much each one of those men have done for this country.
I also thought it ironic that Obama got sworn in on the same day Chapel Hill got it's very first snow!

  1. I also thought Bush must be much more relieved than sad to be leaving office. Did you see the shot of the letter Bush left for Obama (addressed to "#44" from "#43") on the desk in the Oval Office? I'd LOVE to know what's in it!

  2. it'll probably go into the President's Secret Book (for anyone who has seen National Treasure 2). i missed the shot of the letter but when the camera showed Bush, it looked to me like he was a bit down. i cant imagine he'd want to stay in office but maybe he wanted a little more time to right some wrongs before he had to leave.
