President Obama had a concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 2008 the day before the swearing in. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Didn''t know where to put this but they just said on CBS the inauguration crowd is less than half the size of Obama's.
Wait for the tweets today about how much bigger it was.

Also interesting is that all of the former Presidents have admitted they are there only to show a tradition of peaceful transition and NONE of them voted for Trump.
Jimmy and Roslyn look amazing.
Hillary looks wonderful.
George and Laura have aged a lot since I last saw them but both look good. I'm sure he is thinking of his dad.

I also heard somewhere that the 'theme' chosen for this inauguration was 'soft sensuality' and I'm pretty sure I heard that it was actually legitimate, and not a joke.
scratch that, I don't remember where I heard it and from googling, it looks like it was not true. (I'm ALMOST certain it was NOT a joke, but anyway... carry on! )

Melania.'s coat is really pretty but she looks miserable. Like she would rather be anywhere else. She has not smiled once.
Ok ok she is now but it's pained.
I'm so sad to see Obama and Biden leave. Obama looks extremely happy and relaxed though.

I know it will change nothing, and ignorance is not the way to go, but...I know he's going to be president in 30 more minutes, and I know I will still loathe him. I don't need to depress myself further.

I liked having one last JObama bro moment. Can't wait to see the memes.
I did like Blount's speech.
Beyond that I'm sick to my stomach and sad.

I think Barron is on the spectrum. No eye contact with anyone, he looks so uncomfortable, won't touch anyone. Only looking at the ground...
Poor kid. He is probably scared to death.

CBS said they estimated the crowd to be about the third of Obama's, but acknowledged that his was a record-breaking crowd.
sidenote: With each passing day I dislike smug Paul Ryan just a little bit more.
The Missouri chorale was lovely and I'm glad they performed. I really wish Schumer would stop talking.

That makes me so happy. SaveSaveThere are already photographs floating around comparing the size of two crowds. But just looking at it on tv you can see that it is not a full house.

He is saying today the country goes back to the people.
Says he is going to clean up eeverything wrong in the country in his term. Education, gangs, drugs, this American carnage stops right here and right now.
The oath I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans. He slammed Obama in almost his entire speech in a roundabout way.
America's infrastructure has decayed and fallen into disrepair.
we must protect from foreigners destroying our economy, taking our jobs and destroying our country and its wealth.
Everything he is saying is different than what his actions have shown.

I think that I would have politely excused myself by now.

I just wanted to say a quick 'Thank You' to the peeps posting about the event (I can't even bring myself to utter the real word....) in any case, I just can't. I just can't. I appreciate a quick commentary here and there, so this board suits me very well.
Thanks again!! Off to march tomorrow!!

I wasn't going to watch but curiosity got the better of me.
We will adopt two rules..buy American and hire only Americans!
We will shine for all other countries to follow. We will eradicate Isis from the face of the Earth. Then he says " there is no room for prejudice!!
There should be no fear..we are protected. We will be proteed by our military and Law Enforcement, but most importantly we will be protected by GOD.
We will no longer accept politicians who are constantly complaining and DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

I will not fail. I will succeed in everything I set out to do. Failure is not an option.
Spewing stuff about God and how he is the mighty creator.
Hear these words "you will never be ignored again" your courage and goodness will always be welcomed. We will make America proud, wealthy, safe, and powerful again"
We will make America Great again.

I won't watch the speech either but from the snippets I read here, it sure isn't very uplifting. Same gloom and doom he always spouts.
Ok I'm outta here. Going to see Hidden Figures, take myself out to dinner, come home, watch Netflix and drink.

A funny thing I read somewhere - Obama should totally prank Trump by leaving a note on the bed. "I slept here, too!"

Did you all read about the twitter controversy? Trump took over the official POTUS account today...and the initial banner photo he used was from the inauguration...problem with that is it was a photo from Obama's inauguration in 2009!! The photographer who took it made it available as a stock photo and it's on the Getty images website. I'm assuming Trump himself didn't do it, probably some junior in the office, but seriously, they used a stock photo and didn't check where it was from and made a him a laughing stock in the first hour.

Then he got mocked on twitter, then he changed it to a generic American flag and currently it's a picture of him staring out of a window.

These are the first crowd numbers I've seen. I also saw a video of the parade route that was sparsely populated.
I wonder how long until his ego takes over twitter and let us know how he viewed the spectacle?
"Crowd count is in: Trump 2017: 250,000 Obama 2013: 1,000,000 Obama 2009: 1,800,000 #Inauguration "
