Some observations about the inauguration

Here are some observations I had when watching the inauguration of our 44th President. These are just some things I noticed that made me go, “Hmmm…”

• The poignant shot of the outgoing moving van at the White House -- complete with boxes.

• Aretha better think ‘bout what she’s putting down her gullet.

• Yoyo Ma head banging as if he were at an AC/DC concert.

• The Chief Justice misreading the oath.

• After taking the oath as President of the Unites States, Barack kissed his wife, Michelle, on the cheek

• After the inaugural speech, Barack kissed his wife, Michelle, on the cheek.

• When escorting former President and Mrs. Bush to Executive One for their departure, G Dubya kissed Barack’s wife, Michelle, on the cheek. Marital problems? You read it here first.

• Obama, Democrat, wore a red tie. George Bush, Republican, wore a blue tie.

• Obama mentioned the non-believers in the “patchwork of the country.”

• How we made history today. Isn’t every inauguration history?

• In that wheelchair, Dick Cheney's resemblance to Mr. Burns from The Simpsons is uncanny.

• Barack Obama, when signing his first document, the Declaration of National Renewal, said, “I was told not to swipe the pen.”

Good luck, P.O. (That's President Obama to you non-hipsters.)
