Woke up early to watch it. Had a snow day...in Columbia SC of all places. Really enjoyed that musical arrangement.

The cellist/pianist/clarinetist/violinist?  it was indeed awesome.

Have they ever played together before?  I would definitely buy any collaboration of theirs

I think almost every classroom on our campus was streaming it on the projectors (2 or 4 SVGA projectors per room on campus).  I'm in our student union watching the media coverage now

It has gotten quit boring, a 10 minut prayer was unneeded. They could have made it much shorter, like five minutes. It never takes me that long to pray...

But yeah, this has been pretty awesome. A half black president, which usually is known still as black, in the office of the USA! History has been made. I just hope there are no assassin attempts.

CNN has a lot of blips and buffering times, it makes it annoying to try to watch. BBC has very little buffering times.

I laughed out loud when he flubbed the oath of office. Meh, first black president I guess, although he is possibly the least black black person in existance. I wonder how people will react when they realize he is going to be like every other president.

Yeah, I really think that much prayer was unnecessary, I don't like the presence of religion in any government much at all.  I'll watch Obama's address again tonight, my wireless was flaky and my stream started to eat it while I was watching it.

He knows the oath of office. The guy reciting it to him added the word "faithfully" and threw Obama off.

Still funny though; you'd think the one thing you don't want to screw up is the oath of office. Again, not saying he didn't know it or even that it was his fault, the fact that he screwed it up is hilarious either way.

The oath is just a formality anyway, he'd be president even if it didn't take place... but yeah the person he was reciting the oath after fumbled it :P
