Also, the expression on his face right there? That's gravitas. That's the entire thing hitting him full force. That's "We did it, you and me, together."
@stacyinbean: It is like a wedding like some one mentioned upthread. Like I explained to the SpaceToddler. President Obama is like the Mommy and Daddy of the Whoooole country.
Huge bucketfuls of joy are pouring out of me right now. Even my mom (who thought Sarah Palin was cool) had only complimentary things to say about Mr. President and the First Family.
Did anyone else see the thumbs-up one of the girls gave Obama after he was sworn in, and before he gave his first presidential speech? Sooooo cute.
Don't remember which network, but I did just see a news story about people spontaneously beginning to pick up trash on the Mall since they had plenty of time until they would be able to get out. So, it was not all like this!
Every time I see pictures like this, I wish so hard that someday I will find someone to love me that much, and with whom I can reciprocate. I'm going through a maudlin phase right now, sigh.
On a more upbeat note, I went to the White House website and went through the slideshow of presidents, and when it got to 44, I went WOOT WOOT!
@TexasCrude: Haha, yeah I laughed when I saw that on Sunday. My boyfriend didn't think it was funny. Whatever, making love to the leader of the free world has to be HOT.

Michelle is a gorgeous gorgeous woman & could they be anymore in love?
My boyfriend just asked if I'm crying.
I blamed the sniffling on my cold....

I'll be especially mad if I find out that the National Mall was well "equipped" with both recycling and trash receptacles
Wait, no, I'll be just as mad if the National Mall wasn't "equipped" - they had months to prepare this site!
I still have my Obama "high" but I'm also still misanthropic...and this doesn't help matters
