I've been watching this a bit today, and I have to say (hopefully not sounding like a bagdedouche) that it fills you with emotion.  Since I was a kid, I've watched every inauguration (Yes, I've even taken off of work to do so and I will not be working on Tuesday) and it always gives you this feeling.  I got so invested in seeing Obama lose that I thought it wouldn't feel like that this time.  But it does. 
If you're not awed by what happens every four years in this country, regardless of who wins, if you don't stand a little straighter, if you're not tweaked by emotion on January 20th, you're emotionally dead, or carry no sense of the history of our country.  We don't get a new CIC by default, we don't get a head of state based on who has more ammunition.  We get it by choosing it ourselves, and that's an awesome thing.
Even though I still don't think Obama has the ability to do the right thing, though I think he's going to spend us into a bankruptcy that will be all consuming.  I hope I'm wrong about him, I honestly do.  But I don't think I am. 
I am awed by the event, nevertheless. It's great to be an American.
