However, I am not watching it on Sky News. Their commentator needs a valium. A very large one.
So I am watching on CNN.
And let me see if I’ve got this right…Cheney was moving a box and hurt his back? So the day before you are no longer VP of the US you become the moving man? Why do I, and many others, find this story hard to believe?
I do like Obama’s new ride. Very sweet. And safe! And, apparently, the flags are lit up at night! Neato!
I wonder where his girls are today. I didn’t see them get into a limo with Mum or Dad.
Steven Spielberg is at the inagauration? When did movie people become politicians!
I do like Mrs Obama’s dress/suit. Gold suits her. Mrs Bush always looks to me like she’s been hit in the back of the head and she’s shocked about it.
Obama just winked at someone! Cheeky!
Switched to BBC. Just called Bush the most unpopular president in recent history. Heh.
Mr Obama is not wearing an overcoat. He must be freezing!
Here come the former VPs. Man does Gore look horrible.
Heh, CNN is going to get a satellite image of the Mall. That’s kinda cool! So we know how the aliens view it!
Mondale looks good though.
OMG if the CNN woman says one more time ‘there was a time when a Black Man was 3/5th of a white man, per the constitution.’ Yeah we get it. We all know this is major. You don’t have to keep saying so.
Here come the former presidents…
Bush Sr looks a bit fragile. Apparently had dinner with his son last night at the White House. Barbara looks okay, though. How cute, they are wearing matching purple scarfs!
Carter looks pretty darn good! So does his wife.
Clinton looks tired. Hillary looks good.
And now I am going to stop doing this and watch. I’ll finish after its over…
Well, its over. 44th President of the United States has been sworn in. Thank God.
Good speech. I hope he lives up to his potential.
Good luck, Mr President. You’re going to need it.
The girls were at the swearing in but not the rest of the festivities. Were you still listening when Sen. Kennedy had a seizure at the Congressional lunch? Obama’s speech was very articulate (no surprise) but not really history-making in my opinion. He did wear a coat most of the time but Michelle didn’t. She must have been really freezing. We were joking about her having long underwear on under the dress! I watched with 9 other women at Anne’s house…it was fun.
