Inauguration Day In America

[Jingthing]

I am sure many of us here in Thailand will be watching this grand event, either at home or in public. Just acknowledging the importance of this event. History, here and now.

I like the song that Beyonce performed in the end, she have a great voice.

And the combination of all artists.

The world will breathe a big sigh of relief in 4 hours, when Dubya relinquishes control over the blackbox.

Fantastic new day for the world.

With this CHANGE I now hope for the day when the color of a mans skin will not be noticed when it is time to vote. All the best, Mr. President.

Yes, the New leadership in America is going to need all the luck, support and help it can get. Best Wishes from the Land of Smiles.

Go Obama, he may not be the first Irish-American president, but let's hope he's the best !

Thanks for reminding me. Barack O'bama indeed!

[mojo80]

Does any one have the exact time that this will air here. and will it be on bbc world?

[Jingthing]

The swear in is at NOON US east coast time.

The music starts at 10 AM.

Then there is an afternoon parade, followed by the nighttime balls.

12 hour time diff, so that would make the swear in at MIDNIGHT Thailand time.

Today the USA will have a new president, it is an exciting time for all americans and the world.

YES WE CAN!!

Wife and I have a few friends over with the coffee pot brewing.

So far the inauguration party has all the depth, excitement and poignancy and tone of the Rose Parade. Perhaps I should have waited until midnight to turn on the TV.

Any suggestions for live internet feeds? This is a big day in American history.

Can someone please fix the spelling of "inaguaration" day in the title to this thread. We already get enough jokes about the dismal state of education in America!

Here is one that seems to be working well:

Its a typo, dude. But yes, do fix it please.

Surprised nobody has objected to the "leader of the free world" label. Arrogant bunch, aren't we? Ha!

As I write this, the President of the United States is George W. Bush.

Eight years of Bush, can you believe it?

Let the countdown begin!

The US got a new President? When did that happen? Is his name Hope?

NB: I don't get a lot of news where I am right now!

[Jingthing]

Is his name Hope?

Sure, its Joe Hope. Brother of Joe Change. First cousin of Joe Bailout. Americans are always called Joe.

USA President Barack Hussein Obama

Obama has a really hard job ahead of him and I wish him the best of luck. I think this is a great day for America and the rest of the world.

I just hope that we Brits find someone decent to replace Brown...............

He's raring to go ... It is a great day. Enjoy the moment.

Sorry the chosen one is full of shi*e - I'd have more respect for him if he'd kept things low key, but he created one hel_l of a circus. Yanks have chosen poorly once again.

What the hel_l does this have to do with Thailand anyways?

Probably as much as half the topics in the Pub forum. But since it is now over and the other topics have been closed and probably can expect more comments like above, this when is now closed.
