Nerves

Just a super-quick midday note as I finish my lunch...

My favorite part of Barack Obama's inauguration: When he lost track of the words during his oath of office, almost freezing for a moment, like it suddenly hit him exactly what he had achieved and exactly what was ahead of him. It's nice to see that he's human and prone to nerves like the rest of us.

****TUESDAY EVENING UPDATE****

Sigh...I just found out that the moment I found so appealing didn't really happen, at least not like I thought. It turns out that Chief Justice John Roberts was the one experiencing an attack of nerves and as a result, bungled his lines. Obama simply waited for him to realize and correct himself. Oh well. I still like him.
