1. Yes but this is the BIG one........
Edited on Sat Feb-21-09 01:45 AM by Clio the Leo
.... where everyone gets all gussied up and heads down to Capitol Hill (except for the designated Cabinet member, whom I'm guessing WONT be the Commerce Secy. lol)

I'm all giddy about it ..... cant wait for them to say, "MADAME SPEAKER! THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!" and the house will erupt (it does anyway, but now Dr. Popular will be the one strolling down the aisle shaking hands!) The building will shake to its foundations.

He'll then ascend to the podium, as Michelle looks down on him with pride from the balconey. Behind him will be a DEMOCRAT Speaker of the House and a DEMOCRAT Majority Leader! SUPERFUN!!!!

And then there's the obligatory applause which he will no doubt get from the left side of the aisle ....up and down up and down, like they're school kids singing that "There was a wise old king" song. But being Obama, he'll put in enough "THIS COUNTRY IS AWESOME!!!!" that the GOP will have a reason to stand up and cheer for him too. Yes .... even that Cantor dude.

It will be Barack Obama doing what Barack Obama does best .... standing in front of a crowd and giving a talk with lots of opportunity for rhetorical flourishes.

It will be a sight to behold and something we will doubtfully never forget.

Yep .... I've asked off from work for it! lol

4. darn it!
FIRST I had "democratic" and then I changed it to "democrat" ...... that gets me everytime.

NON Republicans! He'll have NON Republicans up there! lol

And you're right about the not clapping ..... but that wont last long .... peer pressure is a powerful thing. lol He'll have everyone standing (over and over and over and over again) by the time he's done.

6. I was only correcting the fact that Biden is who will sit behind him with Pelosi

It will be like this, but a trillion times better!

10. I really think this will be THE MOMENT for me
It's getting better and better, but the trauma of the last 8 years was hard to shake.

The inauguration, the first presser, seeing him and Michelle and the kids climb on Marine One, all of these moments/images is helping to erase all of that.

And I think when I see this, when I hear the sargeant-at-arms shout that out, when I see Michelle in the gallery, and finally see Obama officially address Congress......I think that's going to be MY MOMENT when the far reaches of my subconscience can finally let go and embrace that the long nightmare is finally over!!

No more president with a dumb, stupid voice like nails on a chalkboard saying dumb, stupid things (with those dumb stupid dramatic pauses like he thought he was some kind of important statesman)... we'll have a President it doesn't hurt to listen to!
