I set my alarm yesterday so I could watch the inauguration.  I sat right here with tears rolling down my face.  I can honestly say I have never been so emotional over politics before.  Of course this is historical...the first black president!  How fitting that he started his political career in the Land of Lincoln, making many of his speeches on the steps of the Old Capitol building in Springfield, IL--the very building where Abe Lincoln started his political career.  That building drips history...I have visited many times & a sense of quiet comes over everyone when you enter.  Also fitting that the inauguration was the day after Dr Martin Luther King Jr's day.  And the Capitol building was built by slaves.  Our country has come a long way in her short life.
