The Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama

At about 12:04 pm Eastern Time, Barack Obama took the oath of office, and became the 44th President of the United States of America. He was the first African - American to have this honor.

Even with the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, John Roberts dishonoring himself, by twice messing up the 35 word Presidential Oath of Office, couldn't ruin this day. One would think or hope John Roberts would prepare himself better for his part in this high and most noble event.

Two million or more people started filling up the National Mall as early 4:30 am for official events that was to begin at 11:30 am. They wanted to be personal witnesses to this historic moment in history.

Many more listened and /or watched on the Radio, Television, and the Internet. This could easily be the biggest media event in my life time. The world had a vested interest in our new president, the first lady, and their children.

This simple change of power ended 8 years of a overwhelming error. We no longer have a unelected war criminal slumming in the honorable White House. Bush is extremely lucky to be heading home to Texas, instead of a jail cell.

Barack Obama will return honor, dignity, integrity, humanity and humility to the White House, and America! Under the the leadership of Obama / Biden, America can and will be great again. Much that was lost under Bush, can be regained.

Shortly before Obama took the oath, my friend, and the former Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden took the oath and was sworn in as the Vice President of the United States of America.

Before Biden joined the Obama team, he himself was running for President. I was a key part of his office here in Las Vegas. As an activist, I got regular updates, and information from Biden's Senate office. I'm proud to have a hand autographed copy of his book

After both oaths were given, Barack Obama gave one of the most memorable inaugural speeches in the history of America. I will post the full text of the speech in another entry within this blog. I was very moved and touched by this speech.

As Obama says, lets change America together!

Today is a great moment and celebration, but we it the start of a long journey together, not the end. With the rise of the sun there will be real work to be done. The Obama era is dawning. It's a new day for America.

We must stay focused on the movement, with Obama, Biden, Congress, and all Democrats. We are the party who cares for people of America and in less then 2 short years the 2010 mid term elections will be apron us. The re-election of Obama/Biden in 2012, and an eye on Biden 2016.

Tonight was silent, but evil is real and among us. Republicans, Bush, and the politics of hate and bigotry haven't been eliminated for the face of the earth yet. They will soon be fighting progress, what is right, just, and good. This has been the pattern through out history.

I hope the first family can enjoy this very special moment

May the Goddesses & Gods bless them, The United States of America, and The World.
