Inaugaration day

The day has come - my company is playing the inaugaration on the big screen in our cafeteria and I am here to watch it. The skies in DC are blue and the crowds are stretched 2 miles to the Lincoln Memorial. Personally, I voted 3rd party, but of the 2 major parties, Barack was the choice to make. As he walks down the hall towards the sun, he bares a slight smile, like an uncomfortableness at a funeral.

May I stop here to ask where did they find this announcer? He sounds like a cheesy game show host and I'm not impressed. "Dianne Feinstein, COMEONDOWN! You're the first speaker at the FORTY-FORTH INAUGARATION!!"

Meanwhile, I've never seen so many woollen coats all at once; the prayer by Dr Warren was well done and sounded sincere, and as Biden is sworn in as Vice-president my first thoughts are, "good-BYYYYE Dick Cheney!!" This is where you, as the reader, insert the image of me the author, in shortie plaid pants and a white dorky hat golfing Cheney's head off of a tee and into the wild blue yonder.

As Noon eastern time comes and goes without Obama being sworn in, I'm surprised to learn from a mysterious CNN voiceover that taking the oath does not begin Obama's presidency - it begins with or without the oath, at exactly 12 noon, sharp. We now have a new president and are still listen to the music being played by a special 5 piece instrumental.

While the music ends and Obama is introduced by Dianne Feinstein "as he takes the oaf of office," (her words, not mine) Obama is wearing his poker face but has GOT to be nervous. He speaks over the man who is swearing him in, he forgets the line he was just read, and he stumbles over his oath. So much for the beginning of his presidency!

I will admit that his first speech as president was well put together, though I must wonder of his sincerity of some of his words due to very poor choice he made in the Secretary for Agriculture... {cough, Monsanto lover, cough}
