OK...you guys get first dibs and while I may not have gotten a quality shot of Obama (and didn't expect to...) I did get an unexpected one but otherwise enjoy.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Those are all great pics, Daemon. Thanks for posting them.:)

You are more than quite welcome.

Great pics!!!

Thanks for the post. I watched starting at 10:00 and finally turned it off at the end of the parade. I can't ever remember watching so much of the event. But then, I never turned it on at all for W.

Obviously this was swiped from the interwebs, but...

I MUA, President Obama!

I was laughing when they showed his High School's band. I bet they have never been in temperatures lower than 60.

Holy crap!!! Samuel L. Jackson was so close!!! For a few moments anyway :D

NPR reported that they trained for Washington weather by putting their instruments (I'm guessing not all of them could do this) in a freezer and then practicing!

Don't know about this year's crop, but the Punahou Marching Band has performed in NYC for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade before. I think they went to London last year (or the year before) in the Winter.

You know that I loves me "someecards":

So essentially Obama's going to be interpreted as great simply because he's Not Bush. That's his new nickname.

Buffalo Soldier, dredlock Rasta...Rasta...Rasta.....

Did I ever tell you how much saying 'Rasta" is offensive?

It's like calling a Chinese person, Japanese

Stop.
