I am out in a red state for business, and must admit that this is a very interesting place to celebrate the inauguration of our 44th President, Barack Obama.A lot of folks were very grumbly here this morning leading up to the inaugural speech, and waxed poetic about the good old days of President Bush. Yes, apparently, out here, there were some good old days. I think they are all very happy to have him back home. Probably not as happy as the rest of us.
After the speech, a few folks commented surprisingly about what a great speech Obama had given, and I was whisked away to an old Chris Rock joke... "He's so well-spoken! He speaks so well!"
In the cafeteria, we were served free inauguration cake that was no doubt provided by a minority worker in a gesture of good faith. While everyone was thrilled about the cake, I'm not sure they were equally thrilled with what it represented.
The buzz died down after lunch, or so it seemed to me, as I was in a meeting for most of the afternoon. But then Obama madness struck again. My team was discussing plans for after work tomorrow night and we "all" agreed on a trip to the shooting range. After all, we have to get some shooting in before Obama takes our guns.
