Watching the NBC feed and did I just see George H.W. Bush grab a handful of that solider's ass?

Just wanted to pop into say I went to bed a few houirs ago and had nothing but west wing style dreams of myself talking to the now-president after he was inaugurated and of congratulating him personally. It's 3:30am here and Im sitting here with tears at the ready.

This is simply wonderful, and this forum is the main place Ive been able to share this journey of the last 18 months if not longer so I thought it only fitting I say gday from down under and wish you all the very best inauguration day.

Part of me still can't quite believe we're here.

Beyond fucking awesome.

Seeing him wheeled out in a chair, so Dr. Evil.

Can you watch them online? On MSNBC's website, all I get is f'n Brian Williams.

There are two links in the left sidebar on msnbc.com: one is for NBC live (probably the one with Williams) and the other is for MSNBC which has the Olberman etc.

If he had said Hussein, thunder would have cracked and clouds covered the sky, and Obama's face would have lighted up with an evil grin.

Obviously.

I didn't see where they placed Cheney. Did they have to carry him in the chair???

I was planning to go to Washington to see this, but I'm kind of glad to see this on TV instead.

Tear it up, Ms. Franklin!

If you had told me a few years ago that I'd be capable of getting choked up during a political speech or event of any freakin' kind, I'd have told you to stop bogarting that good shit.

Now, not so much.

A personal hero, Joseph Lowery is giving the closing prayer (his choice; in order to be the first to pray over the new Prez) He'll show 'em how it's done.

It looked like a bow you put at the top of a Christmas tree ... or maybe just a big propeller.

That's what I've been using from the beginning as a companion to CBS before it abandoned me, then MSNBC stream...which has now abandoned me.

Finally was able to get online via NPR. CNN's site is full and MSNBC is choppy. Saw Aretha sing and Biden get sworn in. So excited to see Obama being sworn in. I haven't been this giddy in quite a long time.

I was wondering about that little rule myself. Oh well, nice way to assume the Presidency, just chilling out listening to Yo-Yo.
