Obama Nation - 1

I missed the Obama inauguration last week as I was away... so, a few links related to the inauguration that I found today.

(Picture from an album of pictures of "Obama’s kaleidoscopic army of policy aces, whiz kids, and veteran advisers" by famed photographer, Annie Leibovitz on vanityfair.com. Also, this photo-album in the NY Times, with awkward looking poses for the portraits in some cases, of "Obama's people".)


Hallelujah for the vast sea of nearly two million people holding madly fluttering flags in the bright noonday sun. For being smart again. And sexy again. And optimistic again.
