HBO replayed it at 7:00 pm. It had alot of good live music.

In the last election, 46% voted for Mr McCain so I am not surprised that some people are not completely thrilled about the celebration surrounding Mr Obama's inauguration or him in general.

Wow, ATOTers being cynical dicks. That is something new! I'm glad we have you patriots in our nation, oh ye bold armchair critics. I happen to think it's pretty cool that so many people are interested in the Nation and service again and I have yet to see anything that indicated Obama is corrupt... but this isn't P&N and you guys are obviously biased against this whole thing to begin with so can we just /thread this and people who want to watch can?

you want a clue, in 4 years we'll have another inauguration and 4 years after that yet another, an amazing thing like that.
 
I think the only consolation ATOT'ers have is that Perknose does not get paid. Because that is a real waste of money.

What would the celebration have been if McCain won? What hollywood celebs and recording artists would he have?

I really hope all these Obama zombies are right and he brings about change. Sadly I dont think one person is the cure to the problems we have. Hope and faith is good, but I'm afraid to see what happens if/whne nothing changes.

..the liberal media would be frothing at the mouth over any amount of money spent. but since it's "the obama", the sky's the limit.
 
That was cool. The best part was Pete Seger singing "This Land is my Land". Pete is a true american hero:thumbsup:
 
:thumbsup:

Good show. I was surprised at the quality of the performances. (Garth Brooks is quite the entertainer, and that was the first time I enjoyed an Usher sing.) If you have DirecTV, channel 101 is re-running the whole thing in HD later.
 
Interesting note: Most of the performances were pre-recorded. At least the Army band part was.

My sister is in the army band and was performing there. She said that because of the weather, they did not want to risk their part sounding bad, so they pre-recorded their part.

I'm not sure about the acts (other performers, bands, etc.).

If you watch the very beginning with the trumpets, the music starts playing before they bring the trumpets up to their face.

Only time will tell, but shouldn't we all be hoping that Obama does an excellent job?

Quit being so cynical and depressing people.

You don't get it, do you? We all want what's best for this country. But worshiping one person isn't the answer. I guess growing in a country where idolizing your leaders is the norm has made a cynic out of me.

Uh, it's not that we're worshipping one person..

It's that he is the one person that got chosen to lead the country for the next 4 years. It has nothing to do with worship, and everything to do with hoping that he does a good job.

It also helps that I like the guy. Love him or hate him, you should still want him to do a good job, even if you're skeptical that he will.

I'll be honest, I hope he tanks. The economy will rebound during his term, sure...but that's because it's cyclical in nature and not because of anything The Obamessiah will do.
