President Obama live on CPAC/C-SPAN

I'm watching President Obama and his wife along with VP Biden and his wife leave their car and take a stroll to the delirious applause of the crowds. The joy is contagious. Americans sure know how to put on a party!

I hope for the sake of both our countries (and many others as well) that the US under President Obama returns soon to economic prosperity and continues to lead the Free World.

UPDATE: I should point out I only saw about a half hour of the inauguration broadcasts and I don't have any vivid memories of previous ones, so I have no context to judge the character of this inauguration. I do like parades though. ;-)
