Oh, by the way... I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for

[Rantz]

I'm not planning on watching TV today.

[Loony BoB]

For Barack Obama's security people, today is a nightmare. The worst aspect of it is right now - when the incoming and outgoing administrations are gathered together on the Capitol steps. In order to be prepared for a national catastrophe, a single cabinet member stays away from the proceedings to guarantee continuity come what may. This year, Defence Secretary Robert Gates is watching it all on TV at a military installation "somewhere in the United States".

Hahaha, how would you feel if you were Gates and a bomb fell on D.C. right now xD That would be such a 'bugger' moment.

I'll probably end up missing it. I'll find it online or something, I don't want to miss it altogether.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Aretha Franklin sounds like a toddler

[Polaris]

This guy has such speech! God, I wish I had his eloquency

[Kirobaito]

I got my first class canceled today in order to watch. Wonderful!

[Psychotic]

HA HA OBAMA TRIPPED OVER THE PRESIDENTIAL OATH THIS MAKES HIM AN IDIOT!

Hey, everyone dogpiled onto Bush whenever he messed up his words. Let's not have double standards here!

I wish we could have Obama instead of Gordon bloody Brown.

[Flying Mullet]

This guy has such speech! God, I wish I had his eloquency

No kidding.

[Montoya]

I thought it was going to happen later on today, and to my surprise it was already happening live when I went to go get some water.

[Kalen]

Oh, and he's black too.

It's funny, I visited some of my family in Belgium at the end of last year who were glad I was voting for him even though they are hilariously racist...My cousin was like "Ah yes, but you can't see him at night, can you? Ho ho ho!" ...love it.


I'm glad Bush isn't my president anymore, but I sure wish he was my crazy uncle. <3

Oh and, hi EoFF...

[Del Murder]

HA HA OBAMA TRIPPED OVER THE PRESIDENTIAL OATH THIS MAKES HIM AN IDIOT!

Hey, everyone dogpiled onto Bush whenever he messed up his words. Let's not have double standards here!

Actually the chief justice mixed up the words which is what tripped him up.

[Tavrobel]

Watched it. I got out of the bathroom when Biden was being sworn in, and I stopped watching at the poem. It wasn't very good.

[TyphoonThaReapa]

Lol, that prayer was nice man...good stuff...

[SuperMillionaire]

Dang, I didn't see this topic when you closed my thread... anyway, Big Bad Bush is FINALLY out of office!

[Madame Adequate]

Hahaha, I love that the oath got messed up xD

I was also halfway hoping for him to just bust out an evil laugh for 20 minutes, just because that would be such win. As it stands, that's one of the better political speeches made, though, so I forgive him.

I was just trying to imagine what it must be like to be a black person over the age of about 50 today. I mean, to remember a time of segregation like that, and today see a black man take the oath of office... damn.
