Inauguration Day
Well today is the day, Obama becomes the next official President of the United States.
I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to watch the live broadcast on CNN. I don't really care for watching this kind of stuff.
Are you going to watch it?

I'm at work so no.
If I was home, I would have put it as a "background" while doing other stuff.

Reality Check
First of all the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (Republican... can they do anything right?) who screw up and embarrass himself.
He forgot that The Oath of Office starts with saying name and then pause to let Obama to say his name. Obama on another hand thought that this moron Chief Justice will pause after saying his name and said it as he should after Chief Justice said it. No mistake here on part of Obama.
Then, that screwball Chief Justice moved faithfully to the end of sentence making mistake that no school child would made, and again stumbled and screw up 35 words as any intelligent Republican definitely would when asked to administer something.
Conspiracy??? You be the Judge.

Actually, the guy who was reading the statement read it wrong... Obama paused and let him correct himself.
But yeah, he messed up a few times too lol! Can you blame him?

I can't understand why they want you to immediately recite a sentence, while your head is spinning. lol
anyways, he stumbled through his oath-taking several times, I thought he gave an awesome speech though.
now, let's just see what changes he can make

I broke down and watched since it was snowing outside.
I thought he gave a good speech. The man is a natural born speaker.

I watched the live feed of the inauguration at around 1am in my area. And I guess that was really a good one. 
The number of people who attended was very surprising as well... |

Nearly 2 million people covered a small 2 mile strip from the whitehouse to the washington monument and the lincoln building.
