"I Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear . . ."



His name, his skin-color - that was too cool . . .

Although I've got to say all the cannon-fire right after his oath had me cringing.

Re: the cannon firing -- me, too! Actually, there are many things about the American inaugural tradition that I find quite cringe-inducing; the use of symbols of war and violence for celebration is only one. I found one extremely redeeming piece of this particular inauguration to be the poem. For anyone who missed it:
