The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama.

Although I was at watercolor class today at the time of the swearing in, Sandy had a TV ready for those of us who wanted to watch and listen. (Thank you, Sandy!)

Hope, like the gleaming taper's light,

Adorns and cheers our way;

And still, as darker grows the night,

Emits a brighter ray. --- Oliver Goldsmith (1730 - 1774)
