Inaguration

Twelve more days till the 20th of January! And, if you ask "what's on the 20th," well, you have been living under a rock for the past year." It is Barack Obama's inaguration! That's right, on January 20th, 2009, our 44th President will be sworn in to office. I for one, am fantastically excited! Over 4 million people are expected to come down to Washington DC to witness this historical event. Hotels have been booked for months, since before the election. Major roads have been closed, intense security checks and perimeters have been set up, and water taxis have even been set up for people to buy tickets on (for 90 bucks, of course). This is all so incredibly ridiculous. Many people have commented that the security for Obama's inaguration is "like secret service on steriods". Even people who live in neighboring communities like Arlington might have to walk miles to the White House. I for one, would love to camp out in my mother's office, but we can't. So, I guess I'll just be glued to the tv screen all day. Oh well.
