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.

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.
