And so, after all the anticipation, the moment finally came today where history was made in the United States of America. Shortly after 12 noon, the oath of office was administered to the nation's first African American president, Barack Obama. Regardless of one's political affiliations, we can all be proud to be Americans on the day when our country shines at its' best.
I don't think I've seen this many people on The Mall in Washington since July 4th 1976, when the nation celebrated its' 200th anniversary. I remember because I was there in person at the base of the Washington Monument to watch the fireworks, and abruptly leaving wasn't an option. No matter where you looked was a sea of humanity.....just like it was today.
