I'm sure the Secret Service people are going absolutely nuts. The President and the First Lady are walking up Pennsylvania Avenue, to the wild cheers of thousands of proud Americans!
The Vice President and Dr. Biden have also hopped out of their car.
Ooops, now they're back inside The Beast...
Still, I simply had to use up my daily diary quota to make note of this occasion.
Updated below the fold...
UPDATE #1:
I'm told that MSNBC is reporting that they'll get out of the limo again. Apparently, the main reason they went back inside was to warm up. Michelle must be freezing in that dress!
UPDATE #2:
So far, no one has thrown any shoes.
UPDATE #3:
Barack is out and walking again!
UPDATE #4:
As they near the White House, the four of them are drinking in the applause and cheers! Joe Biden, of course, never met an audience he didn't want to wave to.
UPDATE #5 (1:45pm PST):
Well, it looks like they've made it all the way to the reviewing stand, safe and sound. We can all exhale now. POTUS, VPOTUS, and their wives gave us all a real thrill with their triumphant walk up Pennsylvania Avenue. I can only imagine how excited the throngs lining the route were feeling.
