I hope, however, that part of the change we see is realizing that ordinary citizens can make a difference. We can work together to change our communities, and communities can change cities and cities can change states and of course states can change the nation. Our small actions when combined with other small actions make a big difference. @Jaden, our new President does have a lot of pressure.

Is there? ;-) So he'll do fine. He actually speaks English, which is nice for a change -- you know, uses full sentences and correct grammar, and doesn't snort and snivel. Ain't too bad looking either. Every time I think about the social significance of this election, it gets me all choked up. The way I hear people talk, I really did not believe this was possible in my life time. I am moved and delighted that now the majority of Americans are officially not racist. That shocks me and brings me great joy. I feel like he is our only chance that the world might re-embrace us and not hate us anymore, or at least hate us less, depending on how Obama leads the country. Who knows what invisible political pressures await him behind those pillars, though. Like Prof Friar, I had to work, but I watched some funny clips without sound... The body language was hilarious... The Obamas were so affectionate and touching and kissing to the stiff old Bushes. It was an interesting simple display of the difference between them, something that cannot be faked. When you really want to know what someone is saying and what they are all about, you shut off the sound and just watch them. <abbr><em>ScreenwritingforHollywood´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.screenwritingforhollywood.com/life-tips/un-merry-go-round-hard-economic-times-be-happy" rel="nofollow">The Un-Merry Go Round in Fear</a></abbr></em> Poor guy has a lot of pressure on him, no doubt, but there is NO WAY ON EARTH he can do worse than Bush!

Moved by the excellent speech (can't imagine any German politician holding such a speech), the musical program (Aretha Franklin was great, wasn't she) and the atmosphere. Of course words and political actions are two separate things. But words can promote actions, they can encourage, create a certain feeling and atmosphere. President Obama will come to Germany in April 2009, and many Germans (including myself) look forward to that date. <abbr><em>Ulla Hennig´s last blog post..<a href="http://ullahennig.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/blogapalooza/" rel="nofollow">Blogapalooza</a></abbr></em> I watched the inauguration ceremony on cnn tv, and I was highly moved.
