How did you watch Obama?
On Tuesday many were upset in the Chicago land area that they were unable to attend the historical event in Wahington DC. Many in the Chicago land were asked to work in these tough economic times. With snow covering most of the Chicagoland area thou there were other ways to watch the historical inauguration of our 44th president of the United States of America
Most companies in Chicago were gracious enough to allow a television so that anyone can catch President elect Obama speech as he was sworn in as our next president. Although it seemed as thou everyone across the country were getting in on the act.
If you were a member of Facebook they did a wonderful job of combing their social network with those at CNN and the two teamed up for a nice way as well to watch the event online. Millions of people were able to post comments and feel as though they two were part of the event, even thou not present but feeling the emotion as well in front of their own computer screens.
In summary imagine if John F Kennedy back in the 1960’s was able to take advantage of all of the ways we got to watch a president like Barack Obama get sworn in as president. Thank god for television, however many American back then still did not have that luxury. Although they did make a movie about the event back then but who knows that will probably be the next thing they do for Obama.
The event really was spectacular and just the unity of everyone being there really shows that this county does care about our future interest in politics and that everyone can now feel as thou they are involved in politics and a change for good once again.
