Day 1

Got this card from Maggie today. Love. It.


From this I learned about someecards.com whose tagline is "When you care enough to hit send." These are some seriously funny cards.

How small we seem from space:

But how large the moment was up close.

Some people talked about how there were no quotes for the ages in the speech. But I think the whole thing was designed to shake us to the core. It will take all of us to remake America. And the time is now. Thomas Friedman said it best in Radical in the White House.

Today started out well with Obama beginning to close the revolving door of lobbyists, and going back to the true intent of the Freedom of Information Act.

Quotes of the day:

"For a long time now, there's been too much secrecy in this city."

"Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency."
