Inauguration Day

Today, January 20, 2009, the first bi-racial President of the United States was sworn into office. Barack Obama became this nation's 44th President, and it was really a momentous day.

Of course, Turtle had no idea what was going on, but he woke up from his nap just in time for the big speech.



Cool - I like this floor, mom.


Hey! Who's that guy? What's he doing in the big box?


Yay! This is fun!



And my personal favorite: even President Obama gets raspberries.

On a personal note, it was an exciting day. I don't really stick to traditional party lines, but I am excited to see what kind of changes Obama can create in this country. Times have been tough for everyone and I hope that things can be turned around and soon.

Of course, I don't envy any President: it's a thankless job and everyone's a critic. However, I love my country, and I hope that this is the start of a brighter future.
