The inauguration was great. JJ was too cold to leave his Mom's arms so the pic below is of Kevin and Michael taking in the event. As you can see the majority of the Lincoln Memorial was blocked due to the stage being left up...I guess they ran out of time to be able to take it down.
I have been asked by a lot of people about my political beliefs with all of my posts about Barack Obama. Truth is that I am a conservative in many of my beliefs....and I didn't vote for Obama. But I can see the historic nature of this event and truly appreciate the significance that it brings to the nation. Whether or not you desire the change that Obama brings...you can't deny the historic change this has brought. While I don't believe in many of the agenda items he proposes, I couldn't help but think as I stood at the Lincoln Memorial of the amazing fact that the President that freed the slaves now watched over the inauguration of the first black President in the history of the United States. That is change, and that is amazing. God Bless America.
