Has any previous inauguration been this exciting?
By which I mean, has the *MOOD* around an inauguration been this exciting and crazy before?

(I'm a relative young'un; Was Clinton's inauguration? Kennedy's?)

God, I wish I had gone to DC now.

1. Clinton's was very nice (we went to the Party for the People) but nowhere near this.
There was a lot of controversy surrounding the Clinton's when he took office.

2. No, Not in my 75 years of life.
However it was exciting to see Nixon leave.

6. Yes it was - but we got Ford before Jimmy!
I was only 5 when Kennedy was inaugurated but I remember excitement in the air ... and Clinton's 1st win was plenty exciting, too. We had high hopes for him. This is like we're all on a rocket to the moon!

4. I don't remember one like this one. I'm 61. I have such a feeling of relief
this morning as if the jaws of life has just freed us from the mangled mess! I also feel confident that PE Obama will do his best to get our country back. Whether it's doable or not, time will tell.

5. In a word- NO!
Clinton's 1st win was plenty exciting but this is off the charts.
