Dance Dance Dance!

I'm sitting here watching the Obamas dance for about the millionth time. They somehow make it look endearing each time, but I'm sure they are completely exhausted and that Michelle's feet are KILLING her. I don't remember all this dancing at previous inaugural balls. They have to go to ten of them, make a little speech (a different speech at each one!) and then dance a little dance, then pack up and go to the next one. Who on earth thought of that tradition?

Also, I wanted to comment on how heartwarming it was when the Bushes left Washington and the Obamas escorted them to the plane. Despite their many differences, they seemed genuinely respectful of each other. I'm so glad that I live in a country where there is a peaceful transfer of power. No matter what your political views are, you have to be proud to be an American tonight.

I bet the Obamas and the Bushes will both sleep well tonight.

Side Note: "Obama" is not in the Blogger spellcheck program. I bet that will change in future versions.
