What an historic and hopeful day!

The inauguration ceremony has just ended, and Barack Obama is ready to lead our country into new era of faith, determination and responsibility.

His speech was amazing, and touched on all the issues facing us today. It’s available online here. Obama’s leadership shines through, and I agreed with so many of his points: market oversight, ushering in peace instead of war, exploring new energy technology, focusing on education.  He also said that government programs will be accountable. All in all, a “re-making” of the United States!

Earlier highlights:

*Michelle Obama’s dress – golden yellow, like a ray of sunshine bringing a new day

*Aretha Franklin singing My Country ‘Tis of Thee – beautiful voice and hat, too!

*The classical music selection from the ‘diversity quartet’ – Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma , Gabriela Montero and Anthony McGill ( a Jew, an Asian, a Hispanic woman, an African American) – great symbolism!
