2013 Presidential Inauguration

[Praetor]

Yaaaay! Go Obama! Anyways what did you think about his speech, other speeches, or the performances? The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir was pretty legit.

It waa cooler 4 years ago. Same president, nothing special.

Judging by the amount of posts, I'd say no one here cares at all about this.

I feel for this the same way I felt four years ago.

I was there at the inauguration, up at the front, and it was quite good. A very American speech that advocated liberalism. It was also a very historic speech.

Also, the people who boo'd Paul Ryan and Newt Gingrich have no class.

Do you live in the DC area, or traveled? I can't say I watched it. Also, bare in mind some people treat Presidential elections more like a competition than a fate-changing event. So to them, those people are the losers. Or maybe the people just really didn't like Republican ideology. But none-the-less, I heard traffic was really bad up there. I luckily live far enough away so I don't have to deal with DC traffic.

I live in New Jersey. I took the train down on Friday.

Work in a Bruce Springsteen reference or no one will care.

Too late.

I live in New Jersey and Barack Obama confirmed he was a terrorist sympathizer when he did not invite The Boss to sing at the inauguration.

Beyoncé lip-synched. Grounds for impeachment.

President Obama tripped over the word "States" in the Oath of Office. This means he's even with President Bush on verbal gaffes.

As long as he doesn't start matching his veep.

Two entirely different things. Joe Biden says what he thinks even when some people wish he wouldn't. George W. Bush spoke very poorly.

Honesty vs. mediocre speaking skills.

VP Biden is a shining light in a dark Washington. BIDEN 2016. Unless Clinton runs, in which case he probably won't even bother trying.

Honesty is only a virtue if what you think is true happens to at least have some truth to it. Biden's been pretty bad with what he's said. Some of his honesty just wasn't right or called for. But you're still right that Bush was definitely no poet when it came to words.

EDIT: Something tells me I would enjoy political debates with you.

I didn't catch anything with the inauguration, was too busy doing crowd control at the checkpoint to the DC National Mall (The area that's in front of the Capital building if you didn't know) and freezing my butt off. DC sucks in the winter!

The weather wasn't that bad. I kept my coat on the whole time but I certainly didn't feel cold. It was very comfortable.
