First picture is at a concert/party with a whole bunch of us silly high schoolers. Ruben Studdard or however you spell his name was there, Fuel was there, Steven Baldwin, Hillary Duff, maybe another random band or two, and it ended with George W. Bush and Laura showing up. His daughters were also up in the higher stands.The second picture is of the night before the inauguration at another concert behind the White House. That's Rick Warren giving the invocation (similar to this year I suppose).
And now the inauguration itself! I must say, it was MUCH less crowded than it looked to be on the news this year. You can actually see an empty space around us, which from the pictures on the news of Obama's, it didn't look to be so empty. While there though, it felt really really crowded. There was barely any room to even move or get on and off the subways!The last picture is of the Bush motorcade during the Inaugural Parade. Laura is in the back seat of that first limo, hard to see from here but it was fairly easy while there. She waved at us! Haha. You can definitely see protestors in the background too.
Alrighty then! So that's me remembering four years ago... appropriate considering what today is. Four years later, Obama is inaugurated. Pretty cool stuff. I'm excited that our government is actually viable again, as opposed to it being lame-duck with a do-nothing congress the past few months. Garbage. But it's always like that after an election. Now, action again!
