A Historic Day for Every American

Today we welcome a new President to office,  Mr. Barack Hussein Obama.  I watched the news coverage most of the day (chose NBC) and am always awestruck by the pomp and circumstance of the American government.  It really is something to behold - I do not blame the 2+million people for wanting to see this historic moment.  It was hard to believe watching George W and Lady Laura board Marine 1 that their era (and the Bush era) was ending.  I'm not sure if I was happier to see that helicopter depart the White House or for Barack and family to move in...
