how awesome was that inauguration? SO AWESOME. Aretha Franklin! Itzhak Perlman! YO-YO MA! *ded of joy* um, i may have cracked up kind of a lot at the end of Lowry's speech though. "brown can stick around?" "red man can get ahead man?" i get the civil rights thing, but... man. *g*

also, i think they could have chosen a better poet, but maybe that's just me. *shrugs*

&hearts &hearts &hearts!

ETA for the inauguration speech!

It was the one funny, human bit--apart from the moment when it became clear that even though the entire US military had orchestrated this event down to the second, neither Obama nor Roberts had actually practiced the all-important oath. Hee! M.

ahaha, yes! we were all giggling over that one. my coworker was like, "i bet he's thinking OH MY GOD, first five seconds and i've already fucked up!" *g* i do think his speech eclipsed that little blunder though.
