I'm watching the inauguration. My thoughts. Your thoughts?

I am sorry, you'll have to give up some ass to get back into my good graces...

Some of the occupants of the Presidential viewing suite look downright shabby.

Richard Blanco, named by Obama as the Inaugural Poet, who happens to be gay, read his authored poem for the inauguration. Impressive.

So how was the poet reciting the poem?

The news broadcasts here haven't included it.

That explains the vibe I got from him while he was reading.

^ thanks for the clip.

What was the vibe you noted?


There seems to be a hiccup at 4.00. "Free?"

I think this quote is the best from Harvey Fierstein

"And that is how it's done, America. Obama just vanquished our foes not with guns, but with intelligence, compassion and truth. I am so proud of America today. CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT OBAMA."

"Even the prayers at today's inauguration include us. I can't stop crying with joy."

No specific in particular. When I was watching him read, a quick thought flashed through my mind that he seemed gay. It's nothing I can specifically point out. Just a vibe that I picked up.

I've been watching the Inauguration all day, love it. The parade is entertaining.

[G-Lexington]

It was nice of Obama to close for Beyonce like that.

Everyone lips events like these in an effort to not mess up the glory of what an inauguration should be.

The queen's vocal talent shall not be denied!

You spelled "discerned" wrong.

Thank you Mr. President for including the LGTB community yesterday.

Couldn't bring myself to watch any of it .... thoroughly dismayed by the degradation of the republic, the office of the Presidency, and the process of democracy that the Obama presidency represents

[Stoowii]

You tell 'em, baby!

[Axxess]

I've never watched one before and see no reason to start now. Some singer who is "hot" and "in" right now sings (or lip syncs) a song, and some poet no one has ever heard of gets their 15 minutes of fame. Frankly I don't see the purpose of it.

Boring man with overdone tan in a cheap suit?

15 minutes of fame? Pfft. Hardly.

Yeah, I miss the intellectualism, dignity and nobility that accompanied the Bush administration
