Pics from The Inauguration

OK...you guys get first dibs and while I may not have gotten a quality shot of Obama (and didn't expect to...) I did get an unexpected one but otherwise enjoy.




Millions at dawn gather



The Capitol at dawn



Sam Jackson makes his way thru the crowd



We pass the world around



On this day ...he gets sworn in



The Guests Exit




Finally...after 8 long years, he leaves



Armed guards



"You aint gotta go home but ya gotta get outta here....LOL"

Thanks for the post. I watched starting at 10:00 and finally turned it off at the end of the parade. I can't ever remember watching so much of the event. But then, I never turned it on at all for W.

I was laughing when they showed his High School's band. I bet they have never been in temperatures lower than 60.

NPR reported that they trained for Washington weather by putting their instruments (I'm guessing not all of them could do this) in a freezer and then practicing!

Don't know about this year's crop, but the Punahou Marching Band has performed in NYC for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade before. I think they went to London last year (or the year before) in the Winter.

So essentially Obama's going to be interpreted as great simply because he's Not Bush. That's his new nickname.

Did I ever tell you how much saying 'Rasta" is offensive?

It's like calling a Chinese person, Japanese

Stop.
