I'll only watch it because I know my patients will be watching it. If I was home, I would be doing other things.

I'll be leading a La Leche League meeting during that time, but otherwise, I would probably watch it.

BINGO! My sentiments exactly!
Each to their own choice, but I plan to watch every minute if I can...
Though I did NOT vote for Mr. Obama, I cannot escape the fact that he is the new president, and this is a historical moment in time.
So my prayers are with him, that God will protect and guide him.
I have to work at the young at heart luncheon from 11:30am-1pm. Then I have to come home and hopefully get some sleep to work the 11-7 shift on my job. I won't be thinking about watching anything on TV. Oh wait, maybe I should. Political programs usually put me to sleep.....
One of my coworkers will be there.

*yawn...
Though historic, it's also a little embarassing to be saying "first African-American..." in the year 2009. Should have made it over that hurdle long ago.
And, he's a dimmycrat. Obama may be okay - but watch out for the baggage he's carrying.
Already had one nominee resign over an investigation into wrong doing, Senator Obama's Senate seat was notoriously up for sale, the Treasury pick's in hot water over his own "tax problem," the husband of the Secretary of State has collected almost 100 million dollars from various foreign governments, the CIA Director's post is another former Clinton staffer with no experience in the Intelligence community whatsoever - even Dem. Senator Diane Feinstein is leery of that one.
All this and the inauguration doesn't even happen until Tuesday.
It's 1993 all over again.

If the legislation already popping up is any indicator gun ownership is in for a long hard road.
Obamunism is upon us.

I will not watch. I will not lift up my eyes on this. Neither will I let the sounds of it enter into my ears. My eyes are only on the consequences that will follow. We are not yet ready.
I am hearing from people that are being warned by both dreams and visions in the Spirit. In fact, I just got a call this morning.
We are not prepared for the things that "like a snare shall it come upon the whole world."

I agree that things may get bad, but I am also not looking forward to a bunch of cockroaches taking credit for their visions and dreams proclaiming that they KNEW what was coming.

You do have a way with words.
The kind of people that I am hearing from are not the sort of people that are looking for credit. The credit seekers are not hearing from God.

I will watch, at least, portions of the inauguration. I DID NOT vote for Obama but he is now our President. I do not have to agree with him but I feel I must submit to his authority and I do feel I must pray for the man. I am curious to hear what he has to say, how he says it, and then to see if he walks out his talk.

I'll watch just to see all the looks on the drones faces.
I sear they have already turned him into a god.
If he does anything to tear that down.

He can talk all he wants... I just hope he doesn't go through with any of it.

I signed up. We'll be watching the inauguration.
It's an historical event, and Barack Obama is going to be our new president, whether we support his policies and political views or not. Since he is our leader, then he will receive respect in this household, even when we voice disagreement with him. He also has our prayers. My children will be watching as well. :)
I believe we should participate fully in the process of electing leaders, but at the end of the day, we need to pull back a little and put it into perspective. We shouldn't get so wound up about it that we can't even look at the man's face on TV without being upset. God is STILL on the throne. :)
I wish I could watch it, but I'll be at work.

I don't go to work until 1:00 tomorrow, so I might watch it. Not sure.
Without cable do people have a choice? The networks are going dawn to dusk Obama programing, which might be a bit much.

I completely agree. This is a milestone in the history of our country, to not watch and participate and even be glad for it is...reprehensible. Reading some of the comments here embarrasses me as a conservative.
I'll be watching today and tomorrow, and so will my kids. Not only is this inauguration a culmination of civil rights struggles of the past, it's a statement about the future as we install our first post-modern President. It's a change of an age.
My facebook status today says "The events tomorrow in DC stand on the shoulders of what happened yesterday in Selma. Long live MLK."

If it is reprehensible that we not celebrate a fundamental change that takes a hard left hand turn towards socialist ideology then brand me as reprehensible.
If it is reprehensible that I not celebrate the full scale execution of redistribution of wealth... write me down.
If it is reprehensible that I not celebrate future gun control run amuck... write me down.
If it is reprehensible that I not celebrate the control and shaping of private industry by, per open admission, purposely taxing some industries completely out of business... write me down.

Obama is OUR President and he's the first black President in our history. We don't have to agree with his policies to celebrate these American triumphs, 1) A peaceful transfer of power, and 2) celebrating the historical impact of electing a black man to the White House within 40 years of the birth of the Civil Rights movement. This is an American event, not a partisan political event or a celebration of a political agenda. It is reprehensible for partisans to turn their nose up at collective history, not to mention that it's bad politics.

I have the sinking feeling I'm going to be sitting on an examination table in the doctor's office at the time of the inauguration. Or, worse yet, getting my blood sucked out by the phlebotomist. Of course, when I made that appointment for 08:20 MT last week, that was the last thing on my mind...I spent 18 hours in the emergency room last Tuesday, getting checked out for chest pains.
At this point, not so much worrying about Obama but about the stress test that the doctors say I got to have.

Ya, too bad there's no Raid for "Prophets", the kind that would it work on the likes of S. Walkington. As it happens, roaches check in, but also get to check out, often with inpunity.

I wouldn't have walked across the street to be there. I didn't even listen to it, i avoided it like the plague. I'm praying that God will convict him of his sins and he will turn from his wicked ways. If he wasn't half black he wouldn't have gotten to first base.

It was awesome. I am glad I went. It was FREEZING but still super fun. It made me wish Mrs. King could have lived just a little longer to see this. As I sat in the freezing cold for the parade after the swearing in, I thought of all the people who died fighting Jim Crow, or just because of the blatant hatred that is an ugly stain on this country's history and I was there for them. I was so proud when I saw the Tuskegee Airmen there (that is where I graduated from as well!!)....knowing they fought for a country that didnt even recognize them as men...and to see one of "us" now leader of the free world. It was awesome.
I know people hate him for his "politics", but all politicians are liars. I personally think the hate toward him is racist, but everyone is entiled to thier opinion. :thumbsup
How is married life!!??

I don't know about hate....
I don't know about feelings being towards him as a person...
But... why on earth would anyone's feelings toward a politician necessarily be racially motivated?
Prejudice.. is to prejudge.
That statement, in and of itself, is prejudiced. It prejudges people who are not fans of Obama to be racist in their reasoning. That... by definition... is a prejudiced statement.
