Well, Barack Obama is now the 44th President of the United States. Obviously, it's a historic occasion, but to me it marks something even better: No more George W. Bush.
Yes, the man who has been the butt of jokes for eight long years is finally going away. It seemed like every time I turned around, he was being lambasted on the news (real OR fake - gotta love The Daily Show/Colbert Report) for something he said and/or did. After a while, it started becoming less funny and just more pathetic. I kept wishing for the day to arrive when I could finally say, "No more George Bush jokes! No more hearing about not-so-smart things he's done! Hooray!"
And now, that day has finally come. I still couldn't be happier that Obama was inaugurated. He brings a fresh face to politics and a Democratic outlook on issues. It'll be interesting to see what he does with the current problems the States has to face, as well as future problems. Hopefully, he won't make too many mistakes. Otherwise, he too could become the butt of many, many jokes.
