One in a million...

All I can say is wow. The inauguration of President Barack Obama was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. Estimates range from 1-2 million people at the actual ceremony and I can confirm that those numbers are not an exaggeration. I certainly could not see the inauguration, but jumbotrons were set up along the national mall so, I could watch and hear what was going on. The crowd was absolutely wild. As all the big whigs walk out and take their seats for the ceremony, an announcer introduced them. Nancy Pelosi, President and Senator Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and the Obama family all got rave reviews from the crowd. But not all were so "lucky". No matter what you think of Dick Cheney, George HW Bush, or George Bush, I think it is inappropriate to "boo" them. Yes, the National Mall literally echoed with disapproval when they walked out. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not a fan, but grow up people. If you don't like them, ignore them.

Overall, the inauguration itself went well. Chief Justice John Roberts screwed up the wording slightly during Obama's official oath, but they quickly recovered. Obama's inaugural speech was well written. I'm happy he reminded America that we do have to make some sacrifices.

When I was making my way out of the park, President George W Bush's helicopter flew overhead. It was taking him to Andrews Air Force Base, where he was to catch a plane home to Texas. The crowd around me started singing "na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na hey hey hey, goodbye!"

Oh and today, I was walking to my allergy shots, and the Presidential limo, nicknamed "The Beast" by the Secret Service, drove right past me. And you know who was inside?

Over and out!
