Elizabeth Alexander, poet.
Shots of people leaving. RUDE.
Antonin Scalia wearing his funny hat.
Poem continues...
Bush 41 is wearing a Daniel Boone type hat. Along with that purple scarf he's looking quite hip.
Poem ends.
Benediction. This means it's over soon.
Joe Biden looks like he's not sure if he should have his head bowed and eyes closed.
Still praying...
"the complex arena of human relations"
Still praying...I don't remember benedictions being this long. He did invoke every "color" in the end of prayer. Pretty funny.
National Anthem. I hope he puts his hand on his heart...
Done. What a relief. Fox News won't have much to say afterwards, except maybe criticize him for flubbing the oath. I'm sure Sean Hannity will question whether or not he's ready to be President.
Stars and Stripes Forever. Everything ends with John Philip Sousa.

"Humbled by the task before us". Hmmmmm.
I understand why he flubbed the oath. His strength isn't to repeat when spoken to, just give a speech. Makes sense.
First applause.
"Chosen hope over fear" The buzz continues.
First scripture quote. More like a paraphrase.
Second applause.
He's wearing a flag pin. What a relief.
People in LA laugh at themselves when seen on TV. A break in the seriousness is always welcome.
Third applause.
NYC! Everyone there looks cold.
Michelle's brother yawning! Hilarious.
Short applause.
Fourth sustained applause.
Fifth applause.
Sorry, I was interrupted by a phone call.
"New era of peace"
"Wrong side of history" that's a Clinton line.
They just showed Senator Burris of IL behind Obama. Too funny. I wonder if Blajoevich is there...
"this is the price and promise of citizenship"
Sixth applause. Some standing.
Speech ends with the usual sign off. Waving.
18 minutes 10 seconds.
W. clapping politely He gets an embrace from Obama. Sphere: Related Content

John Roberts administrating the oath to Obama.
Obama didn't vote to confirm Roberts. AWKWARD.
Wow, he's nervous. Flubbed twice. He is human.
Hail to the Chief...Waving...Waving...21 gun salute...waving...Flags. Guns still going...
30 ROCK!

Aretha Franklin. With a BIG bow on her hat.
Biden taking the oath.
John Paul Stevens wearing a bowtie and bad glasses.
Jill Biden holding the Lincoln Bible. That thing must weigh as much as a Thanksgiving Tom. Biden is kissing his kids. Oh the love...
More music. Yo Yo Ma gets the biggest reaction. Probably due to Seinfeld. John Williams. Damn, does that guy write everything?
BO and JB look like they're enjoying themselves. Did anyone tell them the mess that they're getting in to?
OH good, they look more serious there.
The pianist gets music and the other musicians don't? Does that seem unfair? Sphere: Related Content

Is says Unemployed in the title doesn't it?
Announcing Obama. "Barack H. Obama" I guess Ann Coulter isn't making the announcement.
And the crowd goes wild. Chanting of "Obama". Not very cohesive chanting.
Diane Feinstein. "Peaceful transition of power"
"root of liberty" "Democratically elected leader" Sometimes...
W. Still smirking. What could possibly be so amusing? Nickname for Feinstein: Diane "you ain't so" Feinstein.
"God Bless America". Of course.
Rick Warren - little applause. Praying... Sphere: Related Content

Waiting for O. Yes, Oprah is actually going to be president. She paid Obama $1 Billion.
Dick Cheney in the wheelchair. AWESOME.
Announcing W. and Cheney
Hail to the Chief. Not for long.
Joe Biden. Fresh from his latest round of teeth whitening. I wonder if he took Amtrak this morning??
W. talking to maybe Michelle? I wonder what his nickname is for her?
Wow. Cheney looks old and very Dr. Strangelovish. Again, fitting.
Obama. Stoic as always. I wonder if he feels the cold?
Biden announced. Brian Williams mentions Amtrak. He mentions that somehow Biden knows all the conductors.
"he's going to have to spend a $1 Trillion to get the economy started". Oh? We have a economy?
