President Obama: “The new era of responsibility”

For me, that is the tag-line for President Obama’s inauguration speech — signaling the game-changing history- making moment and the journey we are embarking on.

It was a very focused serious speech, befitting the occasion, sending a signal to the world and to our country that change is a coming — and has come.

Amen.

PS. and I am happy to report that the New York Times seems to agree that “Era of responsibility” is the take-away phrase.  Job, please?

PPS did George Bush look a little too happy to be getting into that helicopter?
PPS and as for Dick Cheney in the wheelchair, with all due respect to the former VP, was I imagining it or did he look like Mr. Potter from “It’s a wonderful life”, the meanest man in town, or was giving us a last view of his Dr. Strangelove impersonation?
