For someone that's not a native to New Orleans, these folks sure made me feel welcome. From the moment I walked in the door, not knowing a soul, I was greeted with hearty hellos, given a champagne glass, and shown a spot where I could watch the festivities. I think I made some new friends today, and renewed acquaintances with some folks from the campaign trails of last year.
Throughout it all, folks were cheering, crying, dancing. The shot of folks saluting the TV's with champagne glasses in hand happened once Mr. Obama completed the Oath of Office. After his speech, the dancing began.
The funniest moment occurred when they showed former President Bush taking off in the helicopter. The crowd broke out into "Hey, hey, hey, na na na, GOODBYE!" |
