Full disclaimer: I did not vote for Obama. I also do not share my mother's view that he is the anti-Christ.
1. That invocation was awesome. As DDD has already mentioned, the Sasssssha! bit was nifty. Why can't we get the same at Conference?
2. Very different from the benedictions, which was awesome in that populist-mixed-with-politics-Southern Baptist way, with the coarse voice and intonations.
3. I don't really care for poetry.
4. Pres. Obama's speech was very forcefully delivered, say what you will about the content.
5. CNN was overboard on this point, but I did think that the farewell at the helicopter was classy. On the part of both men. I really get the feeling that the fraternity of presidents is tighter than the division of party and policy.
6. I hope Bush rides off into the sunset, cowboy that he is. I think he will. I don't echo the sentiments of my friends that he is an evil man. Poor president, yes, but if he wiped his ass with the Constitution, at least he did it with good intentions. Maybe I'll see him at an Astros game soon - his father has tickets just below the ones I get.
