Over a thousand people gathered at the Sundance Film Festival to watch the inauguration ceremonies. Located at the bottom of Main Street in Park City, Utah, large screens were set up for all to see and hear. And when at noon, even before the swearing in, Wolf Blitzer of CNN announced that Barack Obama was now officially the 44th President of the United States, the crowd went wild. I caught the tail end of it in this video.
Obama’s speech was uplifting. The whole day has just been a big positive except for the collapse of Senator Ted Kennedy. Best wishes to him.
The crowd was attentive, enthusiastic, and emotional. Probably much like it was all over the country. What a day.
