Bye Bush
Snuck off at work to reception - where quite a few employees were watching and the phones were very quiet.
Obama was a bit nervous on the oath. Fortunately, legally, he became president at noon, even without the oath. He gave a good speech though.
Hopeful for a better next 4 years.

It was interesting to see Obama's reaction when Roberts bungled the words of the oath. His hesitation was probably a moment of thought of whether to repeat the mistake, say it correctly without comment, or mention the correction.
I have no doubt that Obama will be an improvement; it would be difficult to do worse. And I have hope that he'll be not just an improvement, but very good.
