[Blindtlk] Here he comes...

President Trump, that is.

I'm sending this message to both lists because I'm in a weird surveying mood
and want to get as many thoughts as positive, so I'm sorry if you get
duplicates.

What are your thoughts on his presidency as blind people?

On "Blind Talk," I was reading about the "Aim High" law, and I respect that.
But I don't think Betsy DeVos will ensure accessability gfor blind students
unless she is really pushed to do so.

What are your thoughts on the inauguration if you watched / listened to it?
I watched a lot of the inauguration today. Strangely, I'm addicted to the
"oath of office" part of every inauguration; I don't know why. When Trump
and Pence took their turns, I almost held my breath because I was afraid
they would screw it up, and I was so relieved they didn't!

I didn't like Trump's inaugural speech that much because it was stuff
regurgiated right from the campaign trail. Plus, the news anchor covering
the inauguration said Trump was reading from a Teleprompter, and people
reading from Teleprompters have always sounded fake to me.

But back to the bright side. In addition to the oaths of office being done
well, the national anthem was, too. I loved when Jackie hit the high note at
the end and when they played "Hail to the Chief" after Trump's oath and the
21-gun salute. Nothing like new pictures for my mind's eye...

How about you?
