Blue skies grace Inauguration Dayon my TV screen
Over two million people crowding the parade route. Some broadcaster wryly estimated one porta-potty for every 400 people!
The amazing formal celebration of power transition in Washington, D.C. captured, for a day at least, the world’s awe and attention.
Five generations of US Presidents and their wives, from both parties, attended the inauguration – Presidents Carter, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, and Obama.

They smiled and shook hands – as though there had never been any campaign hostilities or political animosity. It was a reunion of sorts, for a unique group of men whose commonality was the oval office. They might as well relish the moment.
The recent weeks of cooperation and support between the current outgoing and incoming Presidents shines as an example of democracy at its best.
There are some who use radio to spread rumors and undermine every effort of good. Sharks of the radio waves, they select the healthy to feed the insatiable appetite of “ratings.”
May the 44th US President find refuge in the one infinitely good and intelligent Mind, God, as he goes about the business of running the country. May he administer worthwhile laws that uplift and bless humanity. May he be unhindered by the Herods of today who would destroy those who work for the promise of a better world.
May he find the wisdom and the spiritual courage to make decisions for the broader good.
Bittersweet moment for outgoing President Bush
