Conspicuous lack of applause for Rick Warren.

8:58 GOODBYE DICK CHENEY!

9:05  It is done!  Hail to the Chief.

I am completely overwrought.

9:08 -- Have to listen to the speech later, time to take Maggie to school.

Rick Warren's prayer was very inclusive (surprisingly so). Obama's speech is made of awesome. Way to combine celebration with responsibility, to keep things serious yet inspirational. He is already my favorite president, and he's only been official for a few minutes.

I may have been reading too much into it, but I was a little awestruck by Obama's not pulling any punches when it came to the folks behind the mess we have to clean up now. He said what I wanted to hear.
