"Peaceful transfer of power"
Those are pretty amazing words. What an amazing and inspiring event. Think about it. From the earliest governments the transfer of power has most often been anything but peaceful. I cite just a few:
Saul and David
Bloody Mary and Elizabeth
The Entire book of Ether
Most 3rd World Countries
Bloody Mary and Elizabeth
The Entire book of Ether

I truly love that as heated and partisan as the politics get in this country, we do have peaceful transfer of power every 4 or 8 years.
It makes me proud.
I was less than proud to hear the booing of people when Bush and Cheney arrived at the inauguration. Come on people, they are still our leaders and they are headed out. Class it up guys.
I don't remember any other inauguration that received so much attention. We had a day of doctors and other things that kept us out and about and yet everywhere I went there was a television with inauguration coverage showing. People were talking about it. I felt a general sense of excitement and hope.
I'm glad that most people (regardless of politics) are hoping for good things from this new administration. Many are praying for Obama's success.
I love this country!
