January 20 , 1993 was a very golden day :)

I remember I was in the 7th grade at that time and our teachers ( Liberal teachers at that ) rushed us to finish our lunches ( they actually commanded that we run through the hallways back to our class rooms ) so that we could watch President Clinton take his oath of office on Inaguration Day . Whew I also remember watching all of the celebrations on CSpan that evening - it was almost an obsession . -thats when I really became interested in politics , at the age of 12 .

Let's make January 20 , 2005 a golden day for our children and get Kerry/Edwards on the Capitol Steps taking their oaths of office . Who is with me on this ! Get out and canvass ! Its not to late ... whew don't mind me I am energized .

4. We did not do anything in school all day .

It was like an unplanned celebration for the entire school day when Clinton/Gore took office .

3. I skipped classes and stayed home to videotape it ...

I absolutely was NOT going to miss seeing Poppy and Bar leaving DC on that helicopter.

Little did I know in my naivete, that Damien was waiting in the wings. :scared:

6. Somehow 1/20/04 has the potential to be even more golden.

I have a bottle of 1982 Cos d'Estournel I'm saving for the occasion.

I was saving it for a treasured day in my life, and there will be no more treasured day than the day Democracy is restored in my country.

7. I Was at Work

that day. We had TVs around in conference rooms to show the occasional video. I tried and tried to get one to work so I could watch the inauguration, but they only got one channel - something stupid. So I got a couple friends together and we went to the local restaurant/bar for lunch and said we wanted to sit where we could see and hear the TV. It was a day of optimism I can still remember.

I'm still pretty proud of Bill as the first Boomer president. Despite it all I think he acquitted himself well if you take out the part where he was dumb enough to let himself get caught with Monica.

As far as 1/20/05.... I'm not even thinking past 11/2/04. I'm preparing myself for the worst. Thankfully I won't be home from class until 9:30 that night. Less time for me to keep myself away from the TV.

8. And a collective golden shower for the traitor war criminal leaving office

:evilgrin:

10. my Clinton inaugural story

I was in Seattle, which had a HUGE rain and windstorm, with gusts near hurricane velocity. The "Inaugural Day Storm" it was called. The power went out FIFTEEN MINUTES before I got to see him take his oath. I listened instead on the radio with batteries.

A freeper fundie acquaintance at school made the crack the next day "that god was punishing Washington for allowing Clinton to be president."

I replied, "Well, god is stupid, because he hit the WRONG Washington".

That shut her up.
