Awesome that a president was sworn in without using the bible. Scary that there's a need to assure that a bible-free oath can be binding.

Considering the era the Constitution was written, it doesn't surprise me that they needed to verify this.

It was totally Roberts. You'd think he might have practiced just a little bit.

Warren's prayer stunk. It was too slow, huge gaps between words... Even my religious parents thought it sucked. But then again, they probably thought that because he wasn't Catholic.

It's nice to finally be able to call him 'President Obama', as opposed to President-Elect. It's a great day.

Ladies and gentlemen... I'm please to announce that the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched back on.

This whole thing is still surreal to me. President Obama.
Wow!

I almost got into a car accident because I was busy flipping off Rick Warren with both hands.

But that wasn't because of anything particular in the prayer, I would have flipped off anybody giving a prayer at a government event. I'm just a hater.

That's ok... I mooned him! (well... I mooned the TV while he was giving his invocation...)

Speaking of prayers...."when white will do what is right"....??????? I actually had to find it online to determine if that's what the guy really said because I was sure I didn't hear it correctly. Rev. Joseph Lowery? No idea who that guy is.

Wow.

I found that to be quite offensive.

In the context of much of what was touched on during the inauguration (progress made but the continuing struggle for civil rights) the comment didn't seem offensive. At least not to me. I also liked the way his sing-song-y patter left everyone grinning.
