Official Inauguration Day Thread

I don't want this to turn into a political, left vs. right thread, but instead a celebration of a special day in our history. Any time a new President is inaugurated it's a big deal, but undoubtedly this is one of the biggest.

I hope this is a start of something good in this country! We need change bad!

Hooray America!

I watched the news some this morning and just could not believe the people out there and if I'm correct all the major roads going into DC are closed so they have been there for sometime now. I think it would be fun for someone tomorrow to start a thread looking for what people think that Obama will accomplish in his first year. Not a pole but just asking for peoples thoughts and next year this time we can pull it back up to see who was right or wrong.

I'm surprised this thread is moving so slow with all the politcal stuff we talked about around the elections and the history making of this event.

Maybe it will start to pick up now with the actual changing of the guard right around the corner.

But yeah, I'm a bit surprised as well. I guess political threads move slow when there's no arguing.

Well we could change that real fast but I thought that was better left for another day.

Great speech by Obama -- hope it comes true! Hooooray diplomacy!

Congratulations to President Obama
