It looks cold out there....

It's George Walker Bush and Barak H. Obama. Intersting deletion of the new president's middle name.

And Pastor Rick Warren has some BALLS and I admire his very specific prayer, ending in the Lord's Prayer. Way to go.

Nice pipes, Aretha.

Haha I noticed the "H" versus Walker as well. I envision a white H on a black field for a bumper sticker, now....

Aretha's hat was fantabulous!

Though he did have to say "Hussein" in the swearing in...

Also- I'm giving away icons on my blog at http://sacredandtheprofane.com/2009/01/19/new-sponsor-giveaway/

You'd be a fun person to send them too!

FWIW: The commentators on CBS said that he is going to be using his middle name officially as an olive branch to the Middle East. I assume that means he will have to sign everything with his full name. They didn't really explain, just went on to talk about which presidents had used initials and which had used full names.

I have to admit, I use my middle name in that it is on my driver's license and I think of my name as including it, but I don't sign my middle initial when I'm signing for offical documents (other than my notary, which I am required by state law to use my initial)

Hussein is a name, just like Jesus is a name. I heard today of a baby boy born December 25, 2008 named Jesus Andraus (forgot last name). My point, this little boy is no more diety than our president is terrorist. I trust we will eventually get beyond the petty and on with the work of being a united set of diverse states.

LOL. You crack me up. I kept laughing at the way O was looking at Aretha. It looked like he was thinking "Woman, what in the world is on your head!" :)
