Barack Obama&rsquo;s inauguration to the US presidency yesterday, San Francisco Democrats attended a swimmingly fancy bash held in the Green Room of the War Memorial building.<\/p>\n<p>Billed as &ldquo;Inauguration West 2009,&rdquo; the fundraiser\/party attracted hundreds of Democratic Party faithful, including several local and state elected officials, to celebrate their party&rsquo;s wresting control of the White House from the clutches of the Republican Party, and to bid <strike>good riddance<\/strike> farewell to former President George Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney&#8217;s Neocon corporatist agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Democratic Party soiree, Fog City Journal attended a peoples&#8217; party organized by the League of Pissed Off Voters who were celebrating not being pissed off, at least for one day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll have to wait and see if Barack is the real deal, or not,&#8221; said one league member, who requested not to be named, &#8220;but today we&#8217;re celebrating an historic moment in US history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The party was held at El Rio in the Mission District and was attended by several off-duty San Francisco Chronicle scribes who played well with the echelons of San Francisco&#8217;s progressive movement.<\/p>\n<p><em>More photos after the jump.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--> <strong>More
