So, it is finally here, Barack Obama is President of United States. what a day it has been!
There are some mixed feeling in the press regarding his speech. I tought it was very smart, moving and tough, in places. Barack Obama called for a “a new era of responsibilty”, was tough on Bush and he alternated between being a humble man and a determined leader. I would not say that the speech was a memorable as the “race specch” he held during the election but considering the incredibly historic moment yesterday, on the steps of the Capital building with a sea of proud people in front the speech was exactly right!
I have to say, after working in TV for many years and been involved in a few big productions, that I am completely floored by how well organized Washington DC was. Everything has run so smoothly, lines, metros, security. All other events should use this exact model!
