Bay Area celebrates nation's new president

(01-20) 15:24 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- They screamed with joy, pumped fists in the air, listened in rapt attention and wept happily as the new president promised a new era for America.

The Bay Area is 3,000 miles from Washington, but as President Obama was sworn into office Tuesday it seemed the distance had magically folded, bringing people in the region right to the podium, hearing and feeling and exulting.

For one brief, shining moment, we were all one.

From San Francisco to Berkeley and all points outward, the world appeared to freeze at 9 a.m. PST as thousands of people across the region paused in their work, play or whatever else they were doing to watch history being made on the steps of the Capitol - and then, as the inauguration oath was sealed, erupting into joyous celebration.

Whether it was in the gigantic Oracle Arena in Oakland or an auto body shop, a tony cafe or tree-lined Civic Center park in San Francisco, the atmosphere crackled with an ebullience normally reserved for Super Bowls or New Year's Eve bashes.

Fueled by African American pride in the inauguration of the nation's first black president, liberal and Democratic pride in taking back the White House, and overall pride in the peaceful handing over of presidential power, the spirited multitudes were young and old, rich, poor, gay, straight and hailing from a dizzying array of ethnicities.

In Berkeley, they were literally dancing in the streets.

"I didn't think it would be this emotional," said Karen Henry, a 48-year-old African American as she danced and cried in front of the Cheese Board, arguably the most progressive business in the most liberal town in the nation.

The store's blue-and-white plastic cow was draped in an American flag and wore a lei and Obama hat. Seeded baguettes spelled out O-B-A-M-A in the window of the cheese shop. At the collective's pizzeria a few doors away, four sidewalk speakers blasted music that echoed for blocks.

"The last eight years have been hard for us," said Henry, an environmental scientist from Richmond who works for the Environmental Protection Agency.

Living history

At UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza across town, a JumboTron drew a shoulder-to-shoulder mass of thousands of students. A sense of past and future was felt everywhere, because after all this wasn't just any venue - it was the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement, which in 1964 when Obama was only 3 helped shape the brand of activism that made his election possible.

None of it escaped Robin Mitchell, 46, who is getting a doctorate in history from Cal.

"I'm not a big fan of crowds," said the Oakland woman, who is African American. "But I'm here because it's really important to do this as a community.

"As a historian, it's amazing to see living history on this level," she added. "I study the 19th century. All my subjects are dead."

At the Richmond Civic Auditorium, several thousand people burst into cheers, reached to the sky or cried openly as Obama finished his oath and then stood at attention to hear him promise to help lead America back to stability.

As at other venues, revelers had begun arriving at 6 a.m. with coffee, doughnuts, flags, T-shirts - everything you'd bring to a block party, only this was the most mega-block party of all.

TeiJae Taylor of Richmond, a desktop publisher, snatched only two hours of sleep Monday night but said she wasn't a bit tired.

"I feel rejuvenated," she said. "The atmosphere here is electric. I saw the hope on people's faces and I thought, 'Wonderful!' "

At gatherings large and small, boos erupted frequently when outgoing President Bush appeared on the screens. Cheers broke out when Obama or his wife, Michelle, were shown. And every so often shouts of "Obama!" rose for no reason but exuberance.

'It's my country again'

Civic Center in San Francisco hosted a sprawling gathering as people shouted and laughed happily throughout the ceremony. Even after the plaza cleared out in the afternoon, nearby souvenir shops did booming business with Obama shirts and other memorabilia.

"He's a popular president," said Scott Kim, 54, owner of First Step. "Obama's good for business."

Oracle Arena in Oakland was crammed with revelers watching a JumboTron, while north of downtown Oakland, the Uptown Body and Fender shop hosted dozens of people who watched the historic happenings almost reverently.

"It's a very emotional day," said Stu Sweeton, 61, of Oakland. "I feel like it's my country again. I haven't waved a flag in years."

Sweeton sported a miniature stars and stripes in his shirt pocket, and said he planned to display one at his video production company starting this week.

At Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco, hundreds of spectators sat on the lawn, many of them in business attire and on "coffee breaks" to hear Obama's speech. The park's big-screen simulcast went dark for four minutes during the speech, but people gathered around each other's radios to listen until reception was restored.

"I feel like I'm mostly excited that Bush is behind us," said Crystal Marker, 32, from San Rafael. "That's definitely a positive."

Even the city's street signs reflected the mood. Two bands of protesters spent the morning changing the street signs on Bush Street, from downtown to the Presidio, to read "Obama Street." At the end of the one-way thoroughfare, they altered the "End Bush" sign to "Begin Obama."

In Marin County, several hundred people at the Manzanita Recreation Center in Marin City roared with approval when Obama was introduced, fought back tears as Aretha Franklin sang "My Country 'Tis of Thee," and then wept openly when the new president took his oath.

"It was a marvelous affair," said poet Donald Mohammad of Marin City. "I could see the level of respect on George Bush's face. There was some admiration there."

Paul Kohler, president of the District 3 Democratic Club in San Francisco, got up at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday to catch a flight from Portland, Ore., to San Francisco to get there in time for the inauguration.

"It's hard to believe. Even now, it's hard to absorb the fact that all of these things he's talked about, all of these plans could happen," Kohler said, sipping white wine in Lou's bar in North Beach hours after Obama's swearing-in.

Obama's appeal

In the basement of St. Boniface Church, a spiritual beacon to the poor in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, the full economic reach of Obama's allure showed itself in the flesh.

Congregated around a TV and projector, a crowd of homeless people and neighborhood residents murmured in awe and erupted into cheers as the levers of power change hands on the other end of the nation.

"I'm here to see history," said Rickey Smith, 44, a street person. "It's an incredible thing to witness. Who would have thought this would ever happen?

"I'd like to be there, in Washington, but sitting here, this is good enough," he said.
