I like watching this kind of stuff even if its for a man that I didn’t vote for. Obama seams to be handling himself pretty good. He has definitely been moving towards the center of the political spectrum, and that is encouraging. While I’m not an Obama supporter, nor will I ever be one, I will support him on certain issues that we agree, and oppose him on those that we don’t.
I for one will not go through the next four years hating Obama; that would be insane. I do not hate anyone; hating is not constructive, and only hurts the one who is doing the hating. Americans will spend the next four years judging President Obama, and then we will cast our votes based on that judgment. Anything can happen in the next four years, good or bad, and Obama will be held responsible for it whether or not he was at fault or not, that is just the way that it works.

Indiana duck on the menu
The newly sworn-in President Obama is sitting down to a lunch of — what else — Indiana duck.
The menu for the 2009 Inaugural Luncheon was designed to reflect the bicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, a theme of Obama’s inauguration.
Growing up in the frontier regions of Kentucky and Indiana, Lincoln favored simple foods including root vegetables and wild game, according to the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies which hosts the lunch that’s held inside the Capitol.
Being served in the second course is pheasant and duck with sour cherry chutney and molasses sweet potatoes.
The catering company ordered the 100 pounds of duck from Maple Leaf Farms of Milford, Ind.
“That’s where we get all our duck,” said Kathy Valentine, chief executive officer of Design Cuisine. “It’s good.”

Obama Breaks Bread With Congress
Arriving at his first post-inaugural meal, President Obama sat for only a moment before he began working a packed room of Washington power players in Statuary Hall.
About 200 guests — including members of Congress, Cabinet nominees, former presidents and current and former local government officials — came in from the cold of the inaugural ceremony Tuesday afternoon to attend the traditional luncheon hosted by Congress in Statuary Hall.
Midway through the event, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was rushed from the Capitol rotunda after apparently suffering a seizure. It cast a pall over an event that otherwise allowed Obama to reintroduce himself to lawmakers.
Accompanied by his wife, Michelle, Obama entered the hall to a standing ovation and the sounds of Hail to the Chief. He spent several minutes shaking hands with attendees before making his way to the head table. He was escorted by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein , the chairwoman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.
Among the first people Obama greeted was Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain and his wife, Cindy. McCain was Obamas rival in the general election, but there was no indication of any lingering tension between the McCains and the Obamas. Obama shook McCains hand and hugged his wife. Michelle Obama greeted the McCains with warm hugs. The McCains were seated next to incoming White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, a former Illinois Democratic congressman.
Michelle Obama chatted with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the head table, while other luncheon guests began munching on the first course — seafood stew — which was served on replicas of china from the Lincoln administration. The china depicted a bald eagle atop American coat of arms.
The new president, meanwhile, began circulating around the room, talking to attendees at 22 smaller tables that he was unable to greet on his way to the head table.
Congress has hosted a post-inaugural luncheon in Statuary Hall since 1953. But the tradition of an inaugural lunch for the incoming president on Capitol Hill dates back much further, to 1897, when William McKinley was treated to a corned beef sandwich and a cup of coffee in a Senate committee room.
