Thread Name: BS: A Prayerful Inauguration
Subject: RE: BS: A Prayerful Inauguration
As you know, President Bush had his swearing-in yesterday. In fact, a lot of Democrats are still swearing.


The inauguration was a very emotional moment. Laura Bush had tears in her eyes, the president's mom, Barbara Bush, had tears in her eyes ... John Kerry had tears in his eyes.


This was kind of sad – today President Bush went back out to Pennsylvania Avenue and sat in the reviewing stand. He thought there was going to be a parade every day.

Here's an interesting bit of inaugural trivia. Do you know which of our elected presidents had the shortest inaugural speech? Al Gore.


As I'm sure you saw, there were ten inaugural balls and President Bush attended every one, including the Texas National Guard Ball ... but no one recalls seeing him there.
