I was listening to his Inaugural speech in my car before my swimming class met, and I started to feel tears well up. I have so much hope for him and our country!  8)

Hahaahahahahahahahahaha.  I was just coming on here to type somewhere, "OMG OBAMA IS PRESIDENT!!!!!!  SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEAL!!!!!"

Or something to that effect. :D

  And not a moment too soon...

I hope someone kick Bush in the ass on his way out.  President Barack Obama, I like the sound of that.  Now we can get America back on track or at least the track it should be on. :)

Now, now, no need to be spiteful...

I just hope he let's the door hit his ass on the way out!

I didn't like seeing Cheney in that wheelchair...because most people in wheelchairs are honest, decent folks!  What's a guy in his health doing lifting heavy boxes anyway?  A big strong fella like Joe the Plumber shoulda been there to help the Cheneys move to McLean!

I am enthusiastic as the next person. In fact, tonight, Carlos is making some kind of Hawaiian meal (or at least he is going to try. lol) and we have a bottle of Spumonti for the occasion. Yes, I am so happy that that idiot is now out of Washington and can't do any harm to this country anymore. Yes, Texas has its idiot back.


That being said, I am not so naive to think that Obama is going to be the Messiah. Personally, I think he is a fool. Why? I think ANYONE who wants to be clean-up is a fool-and that is what he is, Clean-up! Can he do it? I hope so. There is a lot of damage to correct.

I think the U.S. has entered a new era-one of hope for the future-something I don't think this country has had in a LONG time. I think he could be the greatest president this country has seen or he could turn out to be just another one and not anything spectacular. Only time will tell. For now, I will celebrate that we no longer have to deal with the neocons. 

Congrats to PRESIDENT OBAMA and may he have a LONG & HEALTHY presidency.

I agree.  We must be tougher on Obama than we were on Bush because we expect good things from Obama.  I never expected anything from Dubya but a kick in the head, and that's all we got!

I didn't get that exuberance until this morning at about 11:00.  I've learned to be reserved about good news, but today the excitement just took over!

I can't say I'm psyched, but I'm definitely much happier now that Bush is gone.

I had a dream the other night that President Obama came to me asking for advice.

What I told him was "Mr. President, you have not fulfilled your destiny.  Over the next four years you will get the chance too, though.  Let's get to work!"

Let all of us Americans today get to work.  Elections are over, we have a job to do.

Let's kick ass!!!!!!!  :)

I'm definitely much happier now that Bush is gone.

So am I!!

I was watching the inauguration ceremony on TV today, including the swearing in of now-President Obama, his inaugural speech...and the Bushes leaving the building!

Well said, Cat.  I am excited for the change, but hope that he doesn't fall into the same ways that all the others have.  I think the one thing we can safely say is that he can't do much worse.  At the very least, it gives us something to look forward to since this is unchartered territory.  I was able to watch the swearing in on my computer at work, but missed the speech, which I heard was absolutely phenomenal.  I'm excited to see what he can accomplish and hopes he has the support of Congress.

that was beautiful man  8) seriously

I'm very optimistic and though Obama isn't perfect, I think he will be a good leader for this country.

Had to spend most of the day handing out $5 bills to people.  Back in October, I'd bet that even if we made it to the elections, the country wouldn't last until the Inauguration, the cities would riot post-Katrina New Orleans look like Disneyland, and the survivors would be forming warlord-like bands to have raging battles with well-armed farmers in the countryside.

I've never been so happy to lose a bet.  The country actually survived Bush II.  So we've got that goin' for us.

So when Aretha Franklin started singing "My Country 'tis of Thee," the I thought, "Boy, I wouldn't have emphasized the first syllable of "country" like that!  Then I thought, "Are you that Beavis and Butt-head?  History's in the making here and out of 100 million watching, you're the one snickering, 'Uh-huh-huh-huh, she said..."  So I resolved to keep it to myself.

Well, wouldn't you know it, tonight Jon Stewart and Samantha Bee made it the punchline of an entire sketch on the Daily Show!  So there!  I really am that Beavis and Butt-head!

I was watching the inaugural balls tonight and I found them quite fascinating.


Some balls were held for charity, and some for fancy dress.

But the ones that were held for pleasure were the balls that I liked best.  8)
