Nice sight though eh, they look so happy and lovely.

Now please get back in the car

RTKangaMummy · 20/01/2009 21:13

Blimey very brave to walk

I think he needs something like the POPEMOBILE with big windows so the crowds can see him

SmallShips · 20/01/2009 21:29

I'm suprised they didn't have something like that, they had bullet proof glass around him when he got elected, haven't seen any today, aside from the car.

NewAmazingBeginning · 20/01/2009 21:30

Damn, hadn't realised this was on.

Why are they walking freely??????

NewAmazingBeginning · 20/01/2009 21:31

Did the threat reports come to anything?

RTKangaMummy · 20/01/2009 21:33

why are the security blokes not walking closer to them?????

mm22bys · 20/01/2009 21:33

I thought it was great,loved it all.

What was with the Aretha song? It sounded to me like the same music as for "God Save the Queen". I wasn't imagining it was I?

Doesn't his elder daughter have incredible poise (already) for a ten year old?

His speech was so inspiring, I can't believe some people think it wasn't a tear jerker!

NewAmazingBeginning · 20/01/2009 21:35

Sorry, but when I realised the couple were alone in the car I was wondering if they had a little kiss and then I was thinking it will be a hell of a night to do the President!

SmallShips · 20/01/2009 21:42

They will either have fantastic White House sex or fall asleep as soon as they get in.

mm22bys · 20/01/2009 21:45

Don't they have 10 Inaugural Balls to go to tonight?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 20/01/2009 21:47

We were wondering how many glasses of wine he might have consumed while going to each of the balls he now has to go to. I except not many cos I expect he might have quite a busy day tomorrow.
Blimey - what it must be like to move in to the White House.....

NewAmazingBeginning · 20/01/2009 21:56

10pm here, what time in the White House?

RTKangaMummy · 20/01/2009 22:00

5pm

NewAmazingBeginning · 20/01/2009 22:01

Thanks. Is it Wed there?

RTKangaMummy · 20/01/2009 22:02

no they are 5 hours behind UK

SmallShips · 20/01/2009 22:02

No Tuesday still.

10 balls? You'd just want to go home and rearrange the White House.

Maria2007 · 20/01/2009 22:15

am surprised nobody has commented yet on michelle's dress. So what did we think of it??? Am a bit about it...

Maria2007 · 20/01/2009 22:16

But apart from the dress & the poem (ffs) I cried too during the whole thing, especially when he took the oath- so adorable when he got confused btw! Am I the only one who has a tiny Obama crush???

SmallShips · 20/01/2009 22:17

Well i wouldn't wear it, but then again there is little chance of me being first lady anytime soon, urmm anyway i think she looked lovely.

Maria2007 · 20/01/2009 22:19

She's such a sexy lady, I think she should have worn something in dark red. (And by the way, I vote for the fantastic white house sex for later tonight!)

True. It did look a bit like a carpet. THAT'S what it reminded me of.

SmallShips · 20/01/2009 22:27

Dark red or maybe a dark purple. She is beautiful, her husband ain't bad either.

bagsforlife · 20/01/2009 22:31

I just kept thinking HOW COLD SHE MUST BE! Everyone else severely wrapped up.

Do you think she's got thermal underwear on underneath everything?

Obvs OK now they are in covered 'viewing platform' or whatever, but when she was walking?

bentneckwine1 · 20/01/2009 22:34

It looked to me as though she was wearing something thick under her dress...she kept catching the material with her hand. Just her top half though...wondered about a bullet proof vest?? Didn't look comfortable, like it was twisting under the material of the dress.
