It's been more than two weeks since President Barack Obama took the oath of office, but the reflections of Youth Outlook Radio's Russell Morse and Jazmyne Young on the historic event continue to resonate. Morse talks about growing up during the George W. Bush years and about how Obama's inauguration marked a drastic change in his view of "the establishment." In a shorter segment, Young focuses on how she came to realize the "gravity" of the fact that "there's a black family in the White House" now. Bed music helps to enliven both commentaries, although the string instrumental at the beginning of Morse's segment seemed a bit too saccharine. Stay tuned for an effective use of a police car sound effect when Morse recounts how he almost vomited on former President George W. Bush at the 2004 Republican National Convention.
Fun fact: Russell Morse is a former reality show contestant on MTV's "I'm From Rolling Stone."
