DID YOU WATCH

HISTORY WAS MADE,
TUESDAY 20th JANUARY 2009

I'm not politically minded, but I just HAD to watch the inauguration of Barack H Obama as 44th President of America. I'm glad I did.
I hadn't been too keen on him for some reason, but after that speech he made, and what a speech, and what a memory he has, I was quite impressed.
Let's give the chap a chance, see what happens.



Isn't that a lovely picture.

I felt so sorry for his two little girls though, that was a l-o-n-g day for them.

Good luck Mr. President

I did miss the speech program in the afternoon, but did get to watch the bbc2 program later that night, about his growing up years, very intresting it was.

Take care

I am a Proud American today!
I loved what I saw yesterday.
I am hopeful and do feel Obama is what and who we need right now.
I like him very much and finally feel that my voted actually counted this time!!!!

Hi Maggie,
I was spellbound! That doesnt normally happen to me as I don't watch TV, had to watch History being made though. Glad I did too.
Don't worry Maggi, I 4get stuff all the time, I am going to have to go back to making lists. People laugh at my lists but at least I then remember.
:-)

Hi Tracey,
Oh I didn't see that part, blow! Glad I saw what I did though, and everyone was so orderly and well behaved, wouldnt happen here, there would be drunks and all sorts going on. :-(

Hi Lynn,
You have every reason to be, I wish we could be proud of our lot!!!! That'll be the day. :-!
