Ran a few errands at lunchtime and it seems most people are listening to or watching the inaugural "love fest." The historical significance of the first non-white president (Obama is not truly African American) cannot be ignored, and on one level, this is a huge advance for this country.
But I confess I am very disappointed in Obama already. We have people who are struggling to pay their mortgages and heating bills, manage sky-rocketing health-care costs and taxes, and Obama & Co. (the Democrats) are throwing the most expensive coronation, er inauguration ever!
If Obama has said, "Let's just do what is Constitutionally required to effect the transfer of power, and then get down to business. [Okay, maybe one party (I suppose the Democrats do have a reason to celebrate)]; that would have been a HUGE statement in light of our deteriorating economy.
