Don't Play Games: Open Inauguration Thread It's not like we're unaware that maybe baby fart videos aren't what's important today. You can stream Obama's historic speech here, and feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings in the comments. We're all adults here, or whatever.

For pretty much the first time in the public eye, Obama finally showed some nervousness.. which was actually very human.. (regarding his fumbling at the beginning of the oath). I'd nervous as all hell too..haha

The speech though, was obviously incredible.

I'm missing a "be" somewhere in that post.. try to spot it! It's where's Waldo for a new generation.

Actually it turns out Roberts botched the oath, and Obama being the well-prepared hepcat that he is, just laughed at him.

It's funny, I thought that too, but it was actually the supreme court justice who screwed it up! I knew deep down that Obama could never make a mistake like that, and he didn't.

argh. I thought this would be the once place I could escape the Barrage Obama. Not that I'm complaining about all the good this morning, but I did just OD a little.

I couldn't find a single stream that worked this morning. Barack Obama officially broke the internet for me.

I have to say, hearing loud chants of "Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey-ey-eyyyyyy, gooooodbyyyye" as Bush's chopper left the Capitol was one of the most cathartic moments I've had in my lifetime.

There's this warm feeling in the pit of my stomach. Either I wet myself again, or this might be what patriotism feels like.

I can't believe people are so proud of an unproven man. To much change will reak havoc on an already unstable country. Ignorance is bliss.
