I don't really know what else to say. So many people have already said so much about President Obama's inauguration, and I don't really know what there is for me to add.
For some reason, it makes me very happy that Joe Biden got to be president for a few minutes. Despite his regular craziness(which, let's face it, I enjoy) Biden strikes me as a hard worker, maybe not the most inspiring guy in the world, but one of the most loyal and devoted.I think he'll do a fine job, and I'm glad the ceremony ran a little late, allowing him that honor.
Rick Warren, well, he gave an Ok invocation. He tried. It was awkward, uninspired, it didn't feel like Warren knew what he was really trying to say, but, well, it could have been worse. He tried to be inclusive, and I'm willing to give any Evangelical points for at least trying.
And Rev. Joseph Lowery, wow. He's prayer was amazing. As he was finishing, all I could think was, "Holy shit, we got away with this. Thank you, thank you Lord for letting us do this, thank you for letting us move into the future, and oh shit, we actually did it."
