Hope everyone has been watching the patriotic-perfection that is the 2009 Presidential Inauguration of President Barack H. Obama!
Some highlights thus far of this wintry Washington wonder...
Some highlights thus far of this wintry Washington wonder...
The former Chiefs of State:
- President Bush Sr.'s fur hunting cap
- President Jimmy Carter being all cute and elderly
- President Clinton's painfully awkward we're on TV-for the love of Obama pretend to like me-embraces with Hilary "this shoulda been me, damn it" Clinton
The first family:
- Michelle O in her flowing golden dress and matching cape designed by Isabel Toledo alongside Malia and lil Sasha Fierce in their fresh first kid wardrobes worthy of some kiddie runway action. (In case you missed it: the little fiercettes were recently serenaded by the Jonas Bros. in all their glory on the Disney Channel Inauguration special!)
- President Obama in his classy red tie and white shirt and that perfect accessory on his face--that warm, welcoming and hopeful smile from ear to ear
On a more serious swearing in of a president note, this has been a beautiful and emotional day for the whole world. As I type this, I am watching with goosebumps as Obama recites his oath, stumbling here and there proving that he is human and understands what he is undertaking (although, they do expect him to remember a lot to recite back in one take).
It's after 12:00 pm on the East Coast which officially means Bush Jr. can make his way merrily back to Texas and Obama, the forever historical first black president, can make himself comfy in the big White House.
