My kids had to play once outside during freezing temperatures - very, very difficult to keep your fingers warm and fully "operational",so to say

I love Michelle's dress and coat - nice color that goes well with her skin

I think the color was chosen intentionallly, or at least I hope it was. It reminds me of a sunny day, keeping with the hope theme

I am wearing my Obama victory pin at work. I'm celebrating the moment.

He's finally sworn in as the 44th POTUS!!!

Who is the older, bald black gentleman they keep showing (up on the stage)?

I was impressed that Obama gave his entire speech without using any notes.... and it must have been difficult for the musicians to play in the cold....I just checked and apparently it is 28 degrees F in DC.

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER

I've been waiting to say that!

I'll be in my Dept of Defense office tomorrow. I wonder if Mr Obama's picture will already be in place of Mr Bush.

Of course it will be, but don't expect any other change.

Sure he is...no more Air Force 1, no more private helicopter rides,

I wonder if all of the O's will be missing on key boards

Bullet - I've already gotten an email regarding the effect of the new administration on our budget.

We forecast data 5+ years out.

My boss usually goes to the Pentagon for a midyear review (which is coming up soon in the Govt fiscal year that ends in Sept) to review our budget

I work in the comptrollers office, change is coming, really!
