Inauguration of President of The United States of America

President Bush being sworn in

“I, George Walker Bush, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the president of the United States and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.”

It’s official now!  George W. Bush has been sworn in and is now President for another 4 years.  I actually missed the swearing in and the speech since I was at work.  However, I did tape it so I’ll be watching it later tonight.

Regardless of your political views, who you voted for or for that matter if you even are an American at all; you have to be impressed by what is happening today.

The Inauguration is proof of the superiority of democracy over all forms of governing.  Every 4 years this great country gives its citizens the power to elect their leader.  Though the process can sometimes get heated and seem crazy in the end it always works out.  The winner is sworn in at a ceremony in which he then takes over control of the country.  There are no coups, civil wars or bloodshed just peaceful transition from one leader to the next.  It has happen without any major problems for over 200 years and should continue till the end of time.

I love this country!
