Barbara Rodgers' Inauguration Journal

I wasn't fortunate enough to witness President Obama's Inauguration up-close and personal in Washington DC, so I had to watch it on TV. However, it's nice to have friends in high places :)

Barbara Rodgers, "Retired" Anchorwoman and Journalist Extraordinaire was kind enough to chronicle the events for us.

To experience the events through "Barbara's Eyes," go to:

www.barbara-ontv.com

The journal can be found under "Barbara's News."


ENJOY!
