Obama is about to come into office during one of the most troubling and difficult times this country has ever faced, and I can't help but view his situation as an impending soap opera full of hope as well as well as controversial subplots of story lines which may either stick or fall by the wayside.

I've noticed quite a bit of talk on Facebook about who is running off to Washington DC for some inaugural party or event, as well as those who are going not to witness anything in particular, but to be a part of the madness that I'm sure will take place the entire day.
