I liked Myrlie Evers-Williams's speech, and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir's performance. At first, I thought the choir was just going to sing one part of the Battle Hymn, when they went right into "Glory, glory," but I was glad it was more.
I wish I liked Obama more. I mean, he's not a bad guy, but he seems kind of blustering at times, and I find that off-putting.
It's funny - I feel like a lot of people don't know what to do with poetry, how to process it and react to it. It could just be me, but it seemed like there were a lot of blank looks shown on camera as he was reading the poem.
The poem was so free form, and conversational in tone, it was almost like a speech and extremely easy to follow / understand. And the reactions were ones of people listening. YMMV. We're always so busy talking all the time; we've forgotten how to just stay quiet, and listen.

But Paul Ryan is on the podium. Saw him a few minutes ago going to his seat.

Nevertheless, high hopes for the next four years.
