This past Tuesday, 1/20/09, Barack Obama became our 44th President and the first African American to reach the highest office. I took the time early in my workday to watch the inauguration online in a conference room with a couple of co-workers.
Even through the computer screen, I could feel the excitement generated from the sea of spectators and the anticipation of the historic moment. Aretha Franklin sounded great despite her large bow hat. It's unfortunate the oath had a bit of a flub. But all in all, it was definitely a moment worth taking time to watch and soak in.
And now we'll just have to wait and see how the rest of the Obama story unfolds...
