hay 'sup Kalen

Also yeah, his speech was awesome and I was quite moved by it. I'm not going to go so far as to say this is a revolutionary moment for the country, but it's definitely a large step in the right direction and I'm pretty pleased.

"and now for an American poet..."

So who else shut off the TV and went to go pee at that part? I know I did.

***Del Murder*** · 01-20-2009, 06:32 PM

Yeah I went back to work at that point.

The hope of millions will resound in the actions of the American government in the next four years no matter what happens!

The poem was where I went back to work as well.

I only caught the last 15 minutes. I'll have to see his speech elsewhere.

**rubah** · 01-20-2009, 06:59 PM

I was in class, but I caught a glimpse coming back

**Mirage** · 01-20-2009, 07:05 PM

Only half of the channels were showing it here, so I didn't catch it :/.

Aretha Franklin wasn't very impressive.

**Momiji** · 01-20-2009, 07:53 PM

I managed to see it at Subway after buying a book that I needed for one of my classes. I came in when Aretha Franklin was starting to sing (which I thought was awful btw)

Obama's speech was amazing though. Absolutely stunning. I'm glad I didn't miss it.

Yeah I mean wtf, her voice was just awful. :(

I don't see how she got famous unless she had a better voice when she was younger than retired

**The Man** · 01-20-2009, 08:01 PM

She had a much better voice when she was younger, yes.

'sup guys I changed my avatar.

I get a little smirk each time I hear "President Obama."

I got shivers down my spine when he said that. Such powerful words.
