Obama

Coverage of the Presidential Inauguration is playing everwhere here today. Everywhere. I spent tonight working at the woodshop on a nearby Army base. The German national who runs the shop kept ducking into the backroom to watch snippets of the inauguration speech.

It kind of reminds me of the coverage of the last British royal wedding that dominated US newscasts for days. It appears that the Obamas have become American royalty, at least in the eyes of the German media.

I'm studiously ignoring it all. I'll continue to pout until the new administration gives my friend Frank a job.
