I'm watching CNN's Larry King Live. Caught glimpses of it.
An elderly black man was sobbing, saying something about how the inauguration was a reflection of the US being a 'good country'. True emotions poured out. Pain and anguish. The triumph over oppression.
In many ways, the Obama administration should not be idealised. But in many other ways, it has come to symbolise much more.
He has his way with words, but those words can only take effect because they mean so much more and give so much more to the people. They give hope. I find myself moved. Will def post the speech here and give my thoughts on it soon.
