None, but I do not watch any TV at all, I use my TV strictly to watch DVDs on.

By the way, people who hate America:

Quotes

Quotes

"I hope that Barack Obama is a failure as a President."

Sit down and shut up!
 
So this is how democracy works now in the Obama age?  What substance the man has is rooted in socialism and as a man who believes in personal liberty, a free market, and a limited central government I do hope he fails with his plans for the country.  Just because I don't wish my country to go down the path of socialism doesn't mean that I "hate America", in fact, it means I'd rather preserve it.  I accept Obama as my President but that doesn't mean I have to accept his policies, or that anyone does.  If you want to call people childish names and demand they "shut up" in response to any criticism that's fine, really, because maybe it tells us so much about who now runs this country.  How about this: I hope he succeeds in finding conservatism because I know that in liberalism the country will fail.  Can't wait for my new nickname.


Time always wins.

Apparently, one of the high school at my school board stopped classes earlier so that people could watch it from the lounge Shocked.
 
Personnally didn't watch it, was at work. I thought his speech after the election was great and I'm still a little curious to hear the one he did, but now the momentum's gone, so I most likely won't even bother. Everything else, the analysts, the comments, the music, I'm happy to have avoided.

I couldn't watch the whole thing, but I did catch quite a bit of it on the radio (while I was driving), and some on TV -- saw Obama on TV giving his inaugural address.  I caught it more of it at night over news recaps.  I would have liked to see more so that I knew how diverse the speakers were at the ceremony.  I heard a pastor, Rick Warren, but was wondering if there were speeches by people representing many faiths (and lack of faiths) since an emphasis of his camp has been about building bridges between peoples and respecting diversity.  I should google.

I wonder what George W. Bush thought of the event and how he was feeling during it?

I would have done it.Just read some newspaper excerpts
today.I know most americans are pretty hopefull about
him,however,with Obama or without him: the world keeps turning!!!!!
 
I just want to wish him, and all of us, patience and good luck. I hope
he will transform this piece of **** just in a better place for all kind of living forms 
The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,

You could have watched it together, cuddled, and stuff.

Some say that it was the most watched program in Television history. It was history. Were you a part of it?
