I am not sure if Twitter is going to be able to handle the slew of tweets people live-tweeting from DC and the rest of us tweeting about this and the rest. I really don’t want to see the fail whale today!

Enjoy watching this historical event! :-)

    I have great hopes for Obama. I supported him in the election and I think he was the best choice even though I am a registered Republican. I hope the current administration hasn’t screwed up this country and world so bad that anyone in the job will be unsuccessful.
    We are in for some hard times and I think Obama has the character to get us through.
    Thank You

    We were able to watch most of it on tv until I had to leave to take my little brother to school – from there we listened to the radio! It’s nice to know that there’s places online you can watch stuff though – I wonder if anybody watched it from their phones?

    I’ve got to say I wondered if there was any real substance behind the hype, but the first few days of his presidency have set an impressive tone. I’m beginning to believe.

    It was an unbelievable and life -changing speech. I believe Obama will set a barrier for which every president that will come after will have to climb over and above.
