There will be stuff going on all day long, but it you record from Noon on
you shouldn't miss the swearing in ceremony.

That depends on what time zone you live it! If I set mine for noon I will miss it! (Except rerun a zillion times I am sure...)

I won't be watching, and it's not out of any animosity for the incoming President. I have never watched any inauguration. Frankly, they are hugely expensive events which should be pared down quite a bit, without all the needless ceremony.

I disagree that voters decided to turn away from business as usual.

New face at the head, same tired faces behind the figurehead.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

[ramanth]

I plan to put it on while taking down the X-mas decor.

I'll be working at the cat shelter.

The cats aren't taking the day off from eating, sleeping, or crapping just because a President is being inaugurated!

You are right. I didn't check to see what time zone the poster lived in.
We are on EST in Indy.

8 years ago the medium to hard left liberals werent going to give Shrub an inch. 8 years later they still havent given an inch, no matter what good he he did, no matter what he signed off he got no credit unless it was their bad legislation.

8 years ago people lammented the end of the Clinton Era, and now people I work with are denying that fact to ignore the exit of Bush and his farwell address. Its sad to ignore the end of an era to only acknowlege the new.

Now somebody explain to me why this inauguration is an historic event?

Well, I'm actually watching cnn right now and I think the inauguration is a very interesting event. It's nice to see so many people in good spirits. And it looks like a beautiful morning in Washington D.C.

Hope I'll be able to see the swearing in ceremony. It's going to be at 6 pm CET.

News Flash!!! Every inauguration has been an historic event in it's own right.

And what I find to be sad, is that so many of the PTers that aren't even from the U.S., are more enthusiastic and interested in this event, than many of the U.S. citizens here.
Why have we become such an apathetic society? The "land of the free" is not a right - it's a privilege that was fought for and earned at a very high price. Maybe we should wake up and realize that this could be lost much more easily than it was obtained!


ETA: lest I forget to add IMO here so that I don't start a civil war!

[caseysmom]

So this is noon eastern time?

I wouldn't miss it.

[lvpets2002]

I am in Texas Central Time.. Well I set the recorder on this morning right before I left && then at Noon I will put in another tape for this afternoon recording..

You are right. I didn't check to see what time zone the poster lived in.

I work in a residential facility and they even changed the schedule around so the patients can watch it...I will watch it with them and have it taping at home.\

The other night, I was on the phone with microsoft (my itunes stopped working ) and the guy I was talking to was in India. He commented on the inauguration and I said "it's making news in India?" He said "it's making news all around the world". That gave me chills

[Randi]

This is indeed a historic event, and I'm so exited! The first black President in USA, and a great guy too! I predict good changes.

In less than two hours, Barack Obama is the President of United States of America!!!

I feel a bit sad that John is not here to witness this. He would have been thrilled too.
