For all the brou-ha-ha about how awesome we are for having a peaceful transfer of power (you'd the other first-world nations end regimes with the new guy beheading the old), THANK YOU GREAT SPAGHETTI MONSTER that it happened. That it was peaceful.

Had a good giggle over the oath mangling. Roberts and Obama both seemed to have a laugh over it, so it was all in okay in the end. (My friend H went "You couldn't have rehearsed this the night before at all?") Liked speech, especially the part about science. Lots of cheers for SCIENCE. We wants good science in this White House, yes we do. The entire Obama family, the entire Biden family all seemed incandescent and well done. And awwww. I'm just very pleased. I have made an excuse to say "President Obama" as many times as necessary and thrill every time I hear it. (Or see it on TV!)

President Obama! President Obama! The President! Him! Obama! PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!

Except for that part where he was President after noon regardless of oath. I'd have just said "Fuck it," and walked off if I'd been forced to sit through that cold and then had "Mr. Constitutional Scholar" fucking up that badly. "Screw you guys, I'm going home. To the White House."

But...then he wouldn't have gotten to make his awesome speech.

He's the President. He can call a press conference the next day, when he's slept in the giant presidential bed, and just go, "As I was going to say yesterday, ahem," and let into the whole shebang.

Well, that would suck for all the people who waited out in the cold the day before, wouldn't it?

I, for one, appreciate his consideration for the man on the street.

No one ever doubted for a second that he is a better person than me. I would have launched a few of those columnists he had dinner with into the sun before I broke bread with them.

I would have gone, "Gah! What's wrong with you, woman? Eat something!" to the horse-faced blond reporter. But then, I'm not meant for politics, either.

I'm pretty sure that certain incriminating photos of family members (and myself, naturally) not to mention most if not all of the contents of my LJ would prevent me from being in politics even before my natural tendency to spout off whatever's at the top of my head. C'est la vie.
