Since I've been away, I'm just now watching the inauguration ceremony....

Posted by secretslacker Jan 24 '09, 15:58

in 8 years, will the next President elected get such a big shindig? I doubt it.

And here, I thought that during the whole campaign, Obama kept saying that it shouldn't be about race... certainly seems like EVERYONE is making it ALL about our new President's race.
