I already completed my digi-layout for this historical day.
It isn’t the best page, but i wanted it simple. Plus, i did it on my break at work… hee hee….

20 January, 2009
Just another presidential inauguration, right? Wrong. This is the first time in my voting career that I’ve actually wished I was with humanity (and not at work, working with a cynical republican!) to celebrate this historical event. I wasn’t really caring that the first black man was taking office, although that is pretty awesome. But because this is the first step toward the change our country, and the world, so desperately needs. I am so excited about where America may be heading now that George W. Bush and the devil incarnate, Dick Cheney are out of office!
My favorite excerpt from President Obama’s inaugural address: … As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafter a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charger expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born; know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more. Barack Obama, Jan 20, 2009
