I happened to work 12 hours that day and was still able to see parts of it.  Really would've liked to watch it in it's entirety..

Got off class for it which was annoying. Didn't care to watch it. Took notes on continued fractions instead.

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


Oh no, we weren't cuddling, and I couldn't get a good view of the TV anyway

I was home with a sick kid and let her take over the TV.  I had no interest to watch it, so gladly forfeited to her.

I saw a bit on the news where he promised to uphold the American Constitution. So nothing is going to change then? Meet the new boss - same as the old boss.

I watched it a little but I'd rather watch Obama and his team improving americans living conditions,helping Europe to make this world a little better.And I also hope Obama's policies will be left wing:Bring Wall Street down!

^ the key word there is show
Anyone who tried to bring up his true nature was buried by the media.  All Joe the Plumber did was ask him a question and the next day his life was being taken apart piece by piece. 
 
and perhaps an Obama discussion thread should be opened specifically for debating his acts as President and if we are lucky it'll be free of emotional hero worship and childish name calling

Obama can't be socialist since true socialism is dead. Besides the candidates must have similar ideas between them. If they show a true left winged side , the average american won't vote for them.

I think Obama will be more of the same

By the way, people who hate America:

Quotes

"I Hope Obama Fails.  Somebody's gotta say it." 
      -- Der vulgar Pigboy      Link

Quotes

"I hope that Barack Obama is a failure as a President."
     -- Leon Wolf      Link

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.

Well those of us who have disagreed with the policies of the Bush administration have been called unpatriotic and traitors.  Obama was a called a socialist when he was running and a guy who pals around with terrorists.  Then the same people said he only won because he was running a center-right campaign.  All the economic problems were Clinton's fault and then before Obama even took office it became an Obama recession. 

I was being flippant when I said "sit down and shut up".  It was not directed at you.  It was most certainly directed at any of the right wing blowhards that are hoping for the Obama administration to fail.  I look forward to spirited and polite political discussions with you over the next eight years of the Obama presidency, if choose to engage in such.

Wait a second, wasn't this supposed to be about television?  Uh, never mind. LOL

By the way, links are active so all are free to read it and make up your own mind.  I do try and be a little fair and balanced.

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


Wow, radio, how quaint. LOL LOL

So do you think he won the inaugural better on radio than on TV?
