Americans Part ! ... Our Next President 2040
San Francisco January 20th 2009.. Civic Center.. Outside Big Screens..
Political Officials and Each Other!
I was squashed in a corner but squashed in Love and friendship.. I could not move too far to get too many shots while he was sworn in.. I should have bought a box to stand on and I am 5’9!! But I got a few good shots and was with fellow Americans who cheered and booed.. (when guess whos appreared.. B and C !!) and was full of the Spirit of our country …
The United States of America
with emphasis on the United part!!
Enjoy friends…. and you were all with me.. I saw everyone’s comments on my Iphone!!!
You sure are a wonderful family!

Congratulations Lina.
