Yesterday Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of the United States. I watched the ceremonies at home with Jessica, Celia and Ferguson. The rest of the day was all a blur.
These were my favorite moments from the inauguration:
Seeing the amazing throng of people on the Mall.
Hearing the inaugural poem by Elizabeth Alexander. "...What if the mightiest word is love?.."
Watching Reverend Joseph Lowery close the ceremony with his benediction - " ...That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen."

Amen! The benediction was my favorite part - apart from Obama taking the oath, that is! Yippee!
