On the Inaugural Speech

Remember in Harry Potter 5, when Umbridge is giving that speech, and Hermione's the only one who understands the subtleties of it but everyone else kinda goes asleep?

I totally feel that way about Obama's speech.

I'm off to find a transcript so I can read it slowly and carefully and maybe understand. :)

Interesting -- I'm in my office working while history is being made and feel a little guilty about it. I didn't watch the speech. But I do plan to read it later.

I think my problem was that I had to only half watch the speech--I have to work to :)

I feel so conflicted with him as Pres. I don't agree with most of his policies, but I think it is a great step forward for our country to be able to elect a person of color to the highest office in the land.

Lois: I do think it will be interesting to see where our country is going in the next few months and years. The economic downturn has take priority, so I think his true policies are going to be hidden until after that is resolved.

Glam: I am liking it much better now that I have a chance to read and chew over it :)

Justus: Thanks! I love being a winner! :) Although maybe this indicates that I need to spend less time posting.... ;)
