Soon it will be too dark to view the parade. I wonder if this will throw the schedule off for tonight?

yes

I am LOVING every minute of this!

Me too, jelena. Let's get on with the Balls!!!!

I can't wait to see our New First Lady and President's first dance!!!

THE GOWN IS GOING TO BE............... Can't wait!

Rick warren was horrible. The poem was horrible. His speach was decent.

The poem, I thought, was great. Of course, I am literary.

The benediction sucked.

You are write the poem delivery was horrible the poem itself sucked.

THE PRESIDENTIAL OATH OF OFFICE

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The speech wasn't impressive. Lots of platitudes and cliches. Reverend Lowery's prayer was excellent. Talk about uplifing and hitting the point. Plus the little quip at the end..."Black don't stand back, brown...etc." Was an excellent little "inside joke" that melted an extremely nervous, understandably so, President Obama. His hug to Rev. Lowery seemed to be a hug a son would save for his father. Very touching. The invocation prayer Reverend was slightly creepy.

I love my new President and First Family......love them, love them, love them.

Oh, happy day!

Going to church tonight to pray and praise!

Chief Justice Roberts BOTCHED the delivery

I don't know if this has been posted, so I'll post here.

CNN's Jennie Moos- Chief Justice Robert admits to Obama that he jacked up the Presidential Inaugural Oath.

He kept tripping Obama up.

I didn't like it.

Yes. He. Did.

Yes, he did. I told my Jamaican hubby. The phrase should have been. "I will faithfully execute, not execute faithfully.

Barack, toook pause because, he knows the Presidential Oath.

I think he botched it on purpose.

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL....since it was his first time too, I give him the benefit of the doubt. I told a friend that he SHOULD have read it instead of trying to be all cool and do it from memory..who does he think he is? Barack?? LOL

Agree. Barack don't CRACK. LOL

that thing looks like a truck car hybrid....it looks like it weighs 10 tons
