President Obama

[moonwise]

Poor guy flubbed his lines, he was so anxious. :)

ETA: Chief Justice Roberts messed up, not Pres. Obama

O HAY PREZ OBAMA, thanks for the part about restoring science to its rightful place (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for that sentiment) and also for the shout-out to nonbelievers.

Was I the only one who thought that poem was terrible?

My husband is down there on the Mall. Hope he gets out OK.

He's there? Oh wow-I would LOVE to hear his account of the experience. I get a little wowed by the size of the crowd whenever they do the overhead shot of it spanning from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, because I remember how long it took Gina and I to walk from one to the other.

I can give you the mini-recap that I've heard so far:

Got up pre-dawn
Went to Mall
Watched sun rise
Flags on long sticks distributed
Freeze ass off for five hours

I would much, much rather listen to Aretha sing again than listen to the poem.
