And FYI - Obama cancelled his planned fireworks in 2008.
Quote:
Given all the pomp and pageantry of past events for President-elect Obama, why was tonight?s celebration speech so subdued?
That was intentional.
In fact. fireworks were originally planned for this evening, but President-elect Obama canceled them.
"Given the sobriety of the times, he didn?t feel they were appropriate," senior adviser David Axelrod tells ABC News.
