3 HOURS EARLY! After giving his speech at the Lincoln Memorial, Denzel Washington arrived at the Capitol Building THREE HOURS EARLY to watch Obama be sworn in as 44th President. That's dedication and makes me love him that little bit more!
For most of yesterday I waited and watched the BBC news coverage of the Inauguration, it was even on when I went to the gym. And it's amazing the amount of pride people felt about the new President, even more so because everyone around me is British! But it made me feel good to be an American living abroad and to finally have a leader that was accepted by pretty much the majority of people. With Bush as President everyone was always asking why we voted him into office (we'll not me personally I voted for Gore) and why he was so... well, useless. But with Obama people now tell me how much of a leader he seems to be and there's something about him that makes them feel apart of everything and makes them feel good that because America's now getting it's act together that other nations will soon follow and benefit from Obama being in the White House.
YEAH!!
