I watched President Obama's inauguration today in a huge crowd in the Student's Union!!
It was really cool to see how excited everyone was here. The Union was decked out with American flags and red, white, and blue balloons--I felt like I was back home again! ;)
It was especially nice to see everyone cheering for America again. The only awkward part of the speech was Obama's reference to "the enemy" we faced during the Revolutionary War. Um....yeah.
All in all, I thought it was a good speech, very grounded in history. I also liked his call for responsibility. It didn't have as many "soundbites" as I thought it would, and it was more sobering than many might have liked, but I thought it was fit for the times. It was what we needed to hear. Now the real work begins.

I saw the inauguration! but my professor made us watch in class and the sound wasn't working, so I saw it in mute lol
Yeah it was really nice. I only saw parts of the speech, since I too had to watch it in class and our streamed video worked once in awhile. But I saw him and Biden come into office. So yay!!
