According to the CNN commentators, as of 12:00 noontime on October 20, 2009 president-elect Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America, by a provision of the Constitution of the U.S.A., even before Obama was sworn into office by Chief Justice Roberts, at about 12:30 EST, about 1:30 AM October 21 PHT. My whole family (wife Dulce, daughter Karen, and myself) was up early morning today, watching the CNN telecast of Obama being sworn into office, and watching two million Americans celebrate the inaugural of the first African American President ever. Today we are all late for work, because we stayed up late last night until the early morning. But we don't regret the lost sleep, since Obama's inaugural address promised a better and less greedy America, and America's more fair treatment of the rest of the world.
MSNBC has a video of the entire proceedings:
