There was a shot of him looking out at the crowd. Just looking. And he smiled. Might sound corny, but it was really cool to see.

seeing PBO stop at the top of the stairs and look back out over the mall - gave me shivers. He was taking it in. Savoring the moment. I would have liked to have heard what was going on in his head at that moment. This outpouring of humanity was for him and it shows the trust we have in this man and the great responsibility he has to work for us - the American People.

He's had the chance to experience this for a second time and unfortunately this is the last time. It was really - in my mind - a warm moment and a personal moment that he was sharing with himself.

On edit here - I would hope that this image of him looking back on the mall be made available - as it would be nice to have that image grace my wall in my home.
