I'm going to watch the inaugural.
For one, I'm still excited about having a Democrat in the White House, as well as a Democrat controlled Congress. For seconds, I am curious about how Warren comports himself, and what Obama says, if anything, about Warren and his ilk. This all seems to point to a very exciting and unique inauguration! :)

1. I am happily going to watch this inauguration
I am proud and excited at how well Obama has handled things, since being elected. I look forward to seeing the results this team, of very skilled individuals that are lead by a brilliant man, produces. I look forward to a change from the pettiness and destructive partisanship that has infected Washington and the nation, for the past 16 years.

2. I will as well. Rick Warren is not going to ruin the moment for me.

4. I may or may not watch - but this Warren thing has sure changed my plans...
...about being in DC ~ it's too cold there in January to hang out for anything less that a completely joyous occasion.

7. Cool.... means less traffic for the rest of us.....

If you're staying away from this momentous occasion because of the Warren thing, that's your call.


I think you'll regret it years from now.... but, oh well.

8. The Regret Should Come From
Obama for inviting this divisive asshole to our celebration in the first place.

14. I do think he probably regrets the decision, and still hope he'll make it right.

10. I've been very involved in politics for over 30 years. I'm grateful we got the Republicans out...
...of office ~ but Obama really is just a politician, not a god.

22. Exactly
No offense, but I am kind of hoping some people get scared away for whatever reason because otherwise it is going to be a nightmare.

9. Comcast finally came through with my CNN HD - in good time
I'm watching and recording there and recording on MSNBC and maybe CSPAN. I want mega-coverage after the depression I felt watching Bush take over. I also want the perspective from around the world - they're as glad to have Obama replace Bush as so many in the US are.

Warren is not the story of this inauguration, and I don't expect him to do anything to draw any significant attention to himself and away from Obama. This is Obama's day and that is my focus.

18. The only thing better than the swearing in will be
the boarding of the helicopter by the idiot son.

24. Nah, Obama's inauguration is even more exciting
Although it's a tough call. I have gone back and forth on whether I'm more excited about the end for Bush or the beginning for Obama.

20. Jan 20 can't get here soon enough. I'll be watching too.
It'll be the first Inauguration I've watched since 1996.

21. I'm still going
and I don't like this pick. I worked too hard for this to have my day ruined by a poor decision.
