Inauguration 2009

Today is Martin Luther King Day and the eve of the United States inauguration. As set out in the 20th Amendment of the US Constitution, Barack Obama, former community organizer and law professor, will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Tomorrow history will unfold itself for me.

Recalling the election night victory still fills me with a sense of pride, joy, disbelief and awe. But, as I experience this Obama induced euphoria I can still think rationally. There may be a decision or policy that calls forth the spirit of my inner shoe thrower.

That being said, the vocal styling of Billy Holiday singing the line "the memory of all that, no, no they can't take that away from me" captures my feelings about the election and inauguration beautifully.



Random Thought of the Day:
"I wonder what Michelle is wearing?"
