The big day
Today was a big day no matter which party better reflects your political philosophy.
During the oath of office, there was a little 'wording' mix up between Justice Roberts and President elect Obama. I don't really know or care who was responsible. I don't judge intelligence based on eloquence, unlike some others.
I did however find it interesting that during the main stream radio news reports of the inauguration, there was no mention of the verbal gaff. It was almost as if the main stream radio networks were afraid to broadcast this very minor, insignificant part of the oath.
If this were George Bush would it have been treated differently? I think yes.
It remains to be seen if the main stream media will be consistent with their coverage of the president, or will they give President Obama a pass.
In other words, will they be equal opportunity destroyers?

The part that I caught of the speech has a line something like (to paraphrase) "my being elected to office will be the most important day of your lives"... now I know someone else writes the speeches, and I get the intention... it just seemed a little, well, arrogant. I thought it was funny.
