Greys & Things

(Photos from my TV - NBC Broadcast)

It’s official, we have a new President.   I have watched the coverage all morning long even though I didn’t think I would.  I couldn’t turn away.  I find it all interesting.  I enjoy hearing the history of past presidents.

I thought it was quite interesting that President Obama used the Bible that President Lincoln used to be sworn in.  Imagine, the Bible used by the President that freed the slaves being used by the first African American President.  No other President has used that Bible since President Lincoln.  I don’t understand why no one else has chosen to use it.

CBS said that since the swearing in ran a few minutes behind that Vice President Biden was actually President after noon. I know they were quite concerned with that happening all morning.

I enjoy watching all the Presidents gather today on a happy occasion.  They all seem to be getting along.  The first President Bush and President Clinton are now friends.  Time can heal wounds, I guess.

Personally, I am a person that does not enjoy conflict.  I truly hope that President Obama will inspire Democrats and Republicans to get a along and work together.  I also hope that his presidency will help with race relations.

Today is definitely a day for the history books.
