Well I stayed up all night to watch the thing (He was scheduled to take the oath at 4am...) and I have to say it is amazing to see just how many people turned out. For all the flack that Obama took during the campaign about being nothing but rhetoric this just went to show you what his rhetoric was capable of doing. Looking at the faces of the people there you could see the mood of the nation changing from one of hopelessness, to pure hope itself. A national revival such as this is healthy for all nations to undertake regularly and I don't think it could come at a better time for America.

Congratulations President Obama - serve your country and the citizens of the world proudly, truthfully and well.
