It was such a great speech! I seriously felt so invigorated. AND the crowd was just fantastic. Even when we were all squeezing through the gate to get into the Mall area, people were chatting and laughing and sharing stories- the camaraderie and jovial spirits were just so infectious, even if we weren't already jazzed to be there. <br />As the speech was going on, though, and since I was moving through the crowd, I overheard all kinds of cheers and side comments from people- it was so much fun! I think I'll post on that, though- save it for my blog ;)Gescinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-58744004893000716012013-01-21T20:07:15.454-05:002013-01-21T20:07:15.454-05:00me too - or, at the very least, that they focus th...me too - or, at the very least, that they focus their disagreements in a productive way rather than being purely obstructionist!Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-20803946181963888692013-01-21T17:18:18.628-05:002013-01-21T17:18:18.628-05:00I was absolutely delighted to see President Barack...I was absolutely delighted to see President Barack Obama, the first African-American President of the United States, win re-election (I stayed up all night to follow it!) and am pleased he was able to make a second inaugural speech. I haven't yet watched the speech but I want to see it soon; I like what I've heard so far and want to hear the rest. :)Andrew L'autrehttp://airnicetolivelands.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
