In Search of an Adjective

I heard a new adjective used to describe the Obama inauguration today. Monumental. Is that similar to the Lincoln Memorial monument? Perhaps we can all make an Obama monument right now ... a testament to the Presidency that will be. He has already been crowned the greatest president ever by many followers, fans, and reporters.

Here are some of the adjectives I found in recent news stories about the inauguration:
Historic. Monumental. Surreal. Wonderful. Powerful. Dramatic. Educational. Unexplainable. Magnificent. Remarkable.

But perhaps my favorite is the person who just gave up reaching for that adjective in the sky: "I was just speechless. I don't even have the words to explain the feelings," said Jean Bligen, Principal of the newly renamed Barack Obama Elementary School in Hempstead, Long Island. Seems people there were able to come up with words to rename the school before Obama's Presidency had even begun.
