Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as President of the United States of America today. What is the penultimate crowning moment of over 18 months of campaigning, primary elections, general elections, and two months of appointments to the cabinet that will change this country.
I didn’t picture spending this morning alone, so far away from the capital. However, it was overwhelmingly joyful to see that so many of my peers were glued to their television sets. In states from Ohio to California, from D.C. to New York… my peers and I were watching history happen. Together.
The words that ring most profoundly in my ears from the words that President Obama said today are:
“Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.”- President Obama, January 20th, 2009
