Hi there!
I'm watching live on TV, it's ten to six in the morning and I have to be at work by 9  It's on all TV networks here in NZ and streamed live on news websites also.
Congratulations President Obama!
(Please no political discussions in this thread - thanks )

I'm watching it on CNN. I was moved by his speech and the fella after him, who also made me laugh. I was really impressed. He's a good orator.

Link added above to transcript of speech.
A great and powerful speech, inclusive, inspiring and full of hope. Americans must be very excited!

He also acknowledged the difficulties and seriousness of the tasks ahead. I also liked how he said that the US is not bound together by race or religion etc. Very inspiring. My favourite bit.

I was too busy to watch it though at least the country has got someone with half a brain not like Bush. Though he has his work cut out there is no saying he can change everything. But its very refreshing to see him come in and take over. And so many white people love the guy too. |

I really don't get why 2 million + people went to go freeze their tooshes off when the could've watched the whole thing in a nice and cosy home...

Because it's one of the key events of the 21st Century! The grandson of a Kenyan goat herder has become president of the US - I'd say that were quite an achievement.
But anyway, I'll believe good will come out of him, when I see it.
