Where were you when Barack Obama was sworn in?  I was at work, taking my lunch break.  We all went into the lounge and turned on the television to watch the ceremony and then went back to work.  I had the VCR set up at home to tape it so I could watch it again later at home.  To be honest, I thought his speech was good, but the John Williams piece and the poem did not impress me very much.  I would have much preferred the theme to Superman or Star Trek to what was played!  But no one asked me, so there you go!  And no offense to the poet who wrote the poem, it just was not the kind of poetry that I like.  But I guess I’m just a little bit “low brow” to appreciate that kind of sophistication!  But after all is said and done, the President was sworn in and now he has a lot of work to get done!  Good luck Mr. President!
