Inauguration
 

Today was beautiful. I loved his honesty, his candor. It will be good to have small children in the White House. I realized that my students will remember that they were in my class with me, making them watch, making them pay attention, making them understand when this historical moment took place. They laughed at me when I cried.

The commencement of another journey, hopefully a happier one for the USA. It has ramifications for us out in the rest of the world.

It was a very great day! :thumbs:

It's my understanding that he wrote his own speech. Does anybody know if that's the truth? It was a very good speech and the delivery was exceptional.

And Lil, I didn't have a class full of kids here with me but I caught myself with a tear rolling down my cheek a time or two as well.

I thought the cello, violin, and clarinet piece was breathtaking. And Aretha was well, Aretha.

I listened to as much of his speech as I could on the way in to work and I will watch all of it later when I get home.

It is a great day for the USA.

I thought the invocation waqs inspiring despite the minister being controversial. There was substance, meaning and feeling in it rather than the usual religious rhetoric by one of the mainstay names usually chosen.

A couple of my crew had thoughts about today.

Feel free to vote them a few cheezburgers if you wish. lol

I just watched the First Couple get their groove on to Stevie Wonder et al singing Signed, Sealed, Delivered. How appropriate.

I hope the mods don't ban me for this or at the very least let it run for a few days before deleting. I appreciate talent & intellect. When it appears simultaneously it's often magical. Even though my ballot was cast another way and none can compare to the great Etta James, I know that the skillful directing of our country in the oval office will prove historically significant as well as the talented presentation of "At Last" will be remembered as a wonderful night for all. Ladies & Gentlemen may I present to you in their first dance as "The First Couple," President & Mrs Obama, dancing to the singing of Beyonce`.

I can only hope not to be ostracized by supporting our president Now here it comes hoping the democratic Ok I take that back and hope his policies are more centrist than left

Ostracised? But of course.

Stand in the corner and take off your clothes, right next to me.

Bad girl. Hmmm, a bad girl.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Ostracize??? Is that like Jazzercize but where you put your head in the ground and leave your ass exposed?

Of course themi01, you should support whomever you feel deserves that honor. You/all are welcome to express your views but in return it is expected that you/all respect the views of others who have just as much right to express their views as you do.

His speech was written by a 27 year old somebody, and the yoyo ma and others music was prerecorded ala lip sinc. :huh: Let's hope he can do the right thing but of course it's politics!
