the 43rd president, george w. bush, has just left the east-side of the capital building, and now the 44th president, Barack H Obama and his vice president Joe Biden are heading to the white house!
life, reality, stopped for a few minutes as the World watched this man recite the presidential oath.
it was very interesting to learn that Barack was already President before he was sworn-in, due to stipulations in the constitution.. those stipulations state that at 12:00noon, the president-elect shall become president with/without being sworn-in by oath.
on other forums, some people expressed some negativity towards the inauguration.. stating it was:
- hyped
- over the top
- mistakenly American, and a waste of time..
my thoughts on that, "It Is What It Is!" for those critics, maybe they took notice to the fact that the Obama cabinet went hustling to get into the office before the inauguration was finished.
so.. what did you think of the whole shindig?
