Diogenes: Edsel: Is the swearing in going to be awkward, given that Obama didn't vote to confirm Roberts?

Why? They both have their jobs to do.

What is this the freaken Oscars? Swear him in already.

I hope all the cult of personality ends today and people turn back into their cynical, skeptical selves again after today.

But again this is a cool day to be wittness too. Bush became president when I was a freshman in high school and he lasted all throughout my college career. It should be interesting to watch someone new take a crack at it. And now that I am a little wiser (emphasis on little) it will be fun to follow his presidency and the reaction.

Someone tell Urethra Franklin to shut the goddamn motherfark up.

Bob Ondeeznuts

Is that Britney Spears? Kinda has that look on her face, but it's hard to tell through the grainy picture and photoshop touch-ups.

Holy Christ, can we just swear the dude in yet?

"Good job. Oh sure, sure, it was important."

aaaaaand it's over.

spidermann: Can they hurry up? I have to piss really bad.

That's two of us! Good, music break!

YoYo Ma? huh? John Williams? Ill shush and enjoy the clarinet.

Yo Yo Ma? Really?

And now THE MAGIC OF STEVE WYRICK!

Now this at least is music.

Dancin_In_Anson: Any Masons in the thread?

They are busy in the tunnels underneath the mall preparing the onslaught and final battle against the templars

Good Riddance, Dick Cheney.

//Best. Credits. EVAR.

Good to see you watched the Daily Show last night as well. Loved it!

cheney is out! yay!

aretha was wearing a stupid headband thingy.

So George Bush is still president, and Joe Biden is vice president?
What if someone shoots Bush now? Who gets to be president, Biden or Obama?

Perlman and Yo Yo Ma together. Farking awesome.

Wow, that is a seriously all star classical music lineup.

tonesskin: ihatedumbpeople: People are going to be really surprised when nothing changes tomorrow.

Who expects things to change TOMORROW?

Not literally tomorrow...duh.

However, if you poll that audience 100% think Obama is the best thing since sliced bread. But he's been given a massive shiat sandwich to deal with. I'll be curious to see his approval rating in a year once the euphoria dies down.

Yes folks...you still have to pay taxes, yes the war will continue. Yes, govt spending and intrusion will continue.

/voted for Obama
//things aren't going to change much, if at all.

Yo-Yo Ma? What is this, The West Wing?

/poor Leo

more music? why? now I'm falling asleep.

We're halfway there: as of 11:58 EST the Borg are no longer VP!!

I can't even imagine how hard it must be to play out there in the cold... brrr... crampy

Ah the sound of Dick Cheney being irrelevant to the world, a huge darkness has lifted!

Well, this guy playing violin won't go over well with Hamas.

People are openly weeping here in Detroit... because of the color of the presidents skin?

This behavior should be confined to people 50 years and older... the ones who lived through segregation. If you're black, under 50, and crying, you need to STFU.

bighairyguy: So if Bush dies right now, Biden becomes President?

hahaha... yeah, for about 10 minutes.

John Williams? Well it will pretty good then

Epic thread post plus one.

/HISTORY!
//I'm here for it

It's noon and we're offically presidentless.

"So help me God"?
for Biden, it was "presented" to him, almost required.

Yo YO Ma? Seriously?

Where's MC Hammer? Good lord.

All hail our new "Glorious Leader".

The North Koreans are gonna be proud.

So, since obama isn't sworn in yet, does it now stand as:

President: George Bush
Vice PRez: Joe Biden

If a terrorist attack happened RIGHT NOW, would the shots be called by those two?

Yo-Yo Ma Rules!

moving along quickly.

Where is your beyonce now!

The Bestest: who names their kid Robinette?



dun dun!

Herunar: So George Bush is still president, and Joe Biden is vice president?
What if someone shoots Bush now? Who gets to be president, Biden or Obama?

Nope -- it's noon. According to the constitution, Obama is already officially president now.

the john williams?

Bloody William: I can't even watch the inauguration because everyone else in the building is watching video streams of it. I'm listening to an audio stream right now.

Any NYC Farkers, there's gonna be an Obama inauguration party at Legends down on 33rd (that newish bar across from the Empire State Building, next to Jim Hanley's Universe) at 8:00. Might be fun.

I cut all our workstations' connections to turner.com
