The Inauguration From My Eyes

I thought it was good, I mean great.  The protocol folded itself out in a very organized manner and it was very ceremonously with music from the military and live performers. 

It was interesting to watch people the well-known people interacting with each other with the long range camera lens view was closeup on them, especially the First Family.  One can only speculate what was said.

I thought Obama's speech was a darn good one.  He didn't sugar-coat things.  He more or less asked the nation's elected officials  what is more important, an oath to a lobbyist or the oath they took to guard and protect their country.

He used the word "gay" and their rightfully rights, making a bit of first time history using the word "gay" to note homosexuals. 

The toasting afterwards was sort of funny.  Each time the toaster started off by recognizing each person of importance and there was a table with that category full... and almost each time at least one person was left out, in error, I'm sure. 

NBC News did a great job among themselves discussing or explaining what we were seeing.  At one point during the parade they after the First Couple got out to walk they challenged Al Roker to get the President's attention from where he was at behind the line.  It almost like a double-dog dare young boys would give each other.  Al succeeded and they are called it an in-depth interview.  Then along came the vice president and Al, on a roll, tried it again and succeeded again.  It was a comic releif.

I think James Taylor and Beyonce sung great too.
