The swearing-in was surreal for me. I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around the fact that the young up-and-coming Senator who I started volunteering for back in May, 2007 is now President. Back then, people who I called in New Hampshire sometimes didn’t know who he was. Check out the new White House website.

I spent my first full day in Washington DC today experiencing the inaugural festivities. I’m not a good enough writer and I don’t have enough time right now to describe how amazing it is here in DC at this time. It feels like a Woodstock for democracy. People are happy–almost giddy. It’s a strange and wonderful time. In a few hours, I’ll go down to the mall with hundreds of thousands of people and watch Barack Obama be sworn in as President. More soon…with pictures.
