Obama lite / less filling?

Is it just me, or does it feel like the air is a little less heavy since Obama took office? I know that in reality that not much can change in just two days, but I get more of a feeling that things are finally going to turn to a positive slant. Not just here in the homeland, but around the world as well. I don't know if it's me just drinking the political kool-aid or what. The one thing that I do know is that my own personal ground zero in which I traverse feels different. Feelings can be fickle. Only time will set the reality. Anyone else sense anything? Just curious.
