Obama!

I hope you all had a great inauguration day. We got to watch the swearing in while sipping coffee, it was about 9 a.m. here, which was only slightly less preferable to being there. During the 2000 elections we lived half a block from Bush Street in San Francisco and people had slapped “Stop” stickers up on the street signs (to read Stop Bush). I’m glad to see that SF followed through, this time declaring it Obama street. Wish I was there. Flickr photo via A Whole Lotta Nothing.

added: these photographs from The Big Picture are amazing. I only wish they had included one of Obama and his daughters making the hang loose signal to his Hawaii school marching band.

I used to live on Bush Street a few years ago and always hated the name. I’m so glad to see someone has “fixed” it. Rah, rah!

Check this out. These were Ob’s guests at the inauguration. What fine Americans! It looks like a war zone.
