It's happened...

It's now officially President Obama.

I'm just really excited about this. The man isn't perfect, and I doubt I will like everything he does. But at the same time- I'm just really, really looking forward to the next four years.

As Obama said in his speech- it's not going to be easy, we're going to have to work to make things better. But I have confidence that we can do it.

I wish I could have been at home to watch the inauguration, but no, had to be at work. I did covertly watch some of it via web-feeds. However, they were somewhat unreliable. I plan to go back and watch the videos tonight.

Did get to read the text of his speech- many of you were kind enough to post it in your journals. I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty powerful. Despite what some pundits are now saying. ;)

I'm actually hopeful.

It was a fabulous speech. It hit all kinds of important notes and did it well. He`s a great orator. If he`s half as good a President, America is in for better times.

I certainly hope so. The speech made it seem like he does know what the problems are, and ways of working on them... a step in the right direction at least. :)

I don't think one person can do it on their own- but if he continues to inspire Americans to get it done? We'll be good.

This should be his official Presidential poster. ;)

OK, I feel like an idiot. It just actually looked a lot like Freddie Mercury. Sorry.

Oh please don't, it's not a great picture to try to ID. Heh, I'd like to have a Freddie Mercury icon!
