Anyone watching the Inauguration?

I cried; I'm a dork.  The shot at the end of the President looking out over the Mall taking it all in one last time got me.

I loved, loved Michelle's coat. (Even though Bob Scheiffer didn't think it looked warm enough, ha!)  I can't wait to see what she wears to the Inaugural Balls tonight. Jill Biden looked great, too, as did Sasha and Malia. I can't believe how grown-up they look, (Malia is SUCH a mini-Michelle), and I love that Sasha has yet to perfect her poker face for these events, heh.

Yes. I just commented on MM that its so different than the last one I watched.....What a contrast in government ceremonies between the US and Venezuela... nobody is being paid to be there and support the president, no hatred speech against those who disagree and tremendous respect to constiution, tradition and above all the people

We might not live in a perfect country, but we are so, so lucky.

Also, Michelle looks hot. I love her hair like that and Malia and Sasha are so cute, too. They're so poised, yet still kids. I think the Obamas have done such a good job with them.

Yeah, it seems like they've done a really good job. I remember reading that Michelle spoke at length with Hillary about how the Clintons raised Chelsea in such a crazy environment. I bet it also helps that her mom lives at the WH with them.
