It was fabulous! I’ve seen lots of inaugurations, but this was the most emotional one I’ve ever experienced. Never before did I find myself in tears while watching a new president take office. But today I cried throughout the ceremony. I guess I’ve never felt so good about a candidate in the past.

I am even more excited now to see what Obama is able to accomplish. Beginning with putting hold on all the Gitmo prosecutions for the next 120 days is a great start. I expect the days ahead to be like nothing we’ve ever seen before.

I’m extremely proud to be an American today.
