Obama-Mania

I won't be doing any art for the next couple of days because I am glued to CNN watching the pre-inauguration events and will be watching everything that is available on January 20. I have not witnessed, in my lifetime, the excitement that is currently being exhibited for this new president. I remember listening to John F. Kennedy's inauguration speech when I was in college but have not really had any interest in any presidents since that time. I took a vacation day from work because I didn't want to risk not being able to see the entire ceremony along with the pre and post coverage. I wish you an inspiring day filled with hope and wonderment. Yes, we can!!

I was 4 when Kennedy was inaugurated...however I have a good memory and remember the love my mother had for him and Jackie. I also remember how Jackie set all the fashion trends for the time. Michele Obama has such beauty and charisma, and is such a positive role model. I love her clothes and graceful style! I too am elated with this new president! His speech was awesome. This is a great day!
