I live in Maryland just a quarter mile from the DC boarder, and the place is absolutely nuts. Memorial Bridge is closed... Key bridge is closed... traffic is being re-routed onto the beltway... which is an absolute catastrophe. There are people EVERYWHERE. Even the local bike routes are too crowded to use. Some of my friends actually decided to ice skate down the potomac and the canal because the tow path and roads are just that packed.

I <3 Obama, but jeez... this is completely nuts. I refuse to drive anywhere today.

seems like the media is really bent on making political symbolism out of this event in a skindeep way. to be sure, looking back 30 years from now, such symbolism is fine, but the presidency has many serious problems to face and offer many more serious promises. it is rare to see overt political narrative in public events that are not normally perfunctory. it is especially surprising here because this narrative did not come out in force like it is now during the campaigns. if the campaigns were framed as "the first black man to realize the dream of democratic equality and civic empowerment," then the tone at this event would be more understandable. but as it stands, it is as if the media wants to say what it did not dare to say during the campaigns.

on the other hand, i wonder how long before this detached good will transforms into actual reporting on the presidency. to be sure, being the president is not merely about being black and inspirational.

I love it how the anti-Obama crowd seems more interested in him fucking up rather than doing a good job. Oh well, I guess ideology and party affiliation is more important than national progress, amirite?

I'll probably catch the highlights of this stuff. Honestly, I doubt much will change from how things used to be pre-Bush, so it's not all that interesting.
