President Barack Obama will be sworn in for his second term at 11 a.m. CST on Monday, Jan. 21.
The 2013 Inauguration will be broadcast live online on various channels and by all the major networks, details and links to be announced. Following the swearing in, Obama will deliver his inaugural address, then participate in a luncheon followed by the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.
- Are you going to any inaugural events? Ask us how to post photos and your thoughts on Patch!
Tickets for both official inaugural balls sold out even before they were on sale due to a Ticketmaster glitch, according to Reston, VA Patch. Craigslist, of course, lists numerous tickets for sale — buyer beware.
Wisconsin will not host an inaugural ball, according to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, but there are dozens of other inaugural galas around Washington throughout the weekend, according to a listing on about.com.
So Craig, you may not like Obama, but I think you should respect the office and the tradition.
Why not eliminate government (taxpayer) funded inaugural celebrations and parties for ANY 2nd term president. Party affiliation is irrelevant. Swear the President in and be done with it.
I just learned that "the latest boldface names to officially join in the action are Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, Usher, Brad Paisley and the cast of 'Glee.' That crop of singers, along with Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marc Anthony and John Legend, Nick Cannon, Fun, and Mindless Behavior are expected to make appearances at various events. Beyonce will be there to perform the national anthem; James Taylor is scheduled to sing 'Shower the People; and Kelly Clarkson will sing 'America the Beautiful.'" Who can resist such a temptation?! Worth every penny of my tax dollars.
1) The Presidential Inaugural Parade Management Joint task Force (I kid you not); http://2013inaugurationparade.army.mil/ 2) Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (read the luncheon menu and view the Committee members); and http://www.inaugural.senate.gov/ 3) The Presidential Inaugural Committee (view the store for Vera Wang designs; perhaps I'll splurge and purchase an Official Inauguration 2013 Shot Glass; not to worry, Tube Socks are available for the non-drinker). http://www.2013pic.org/ I'm flabbergasted.
Good job! I would like to join you folks - eventhough I am not a Democrat - my wife and I have tickets to the event... and I feel both honored and awesome!
We look forward to seeing you at the event and thank you for joining us. I will try and keep an ear out for you so I can say hi. The event is not just for Democrats, its open to anyone, all we ask is that everyone is kind and respectful. This is an event of celebration. If you are free on Thursday you should come to our potluck. It is going to be a great time with a lot of good people. All the details are on the website as well. :)
Nuitari, Mike Itzenhuiser, WPN1488, Jim Ignatowski, do any of you feel ok about what you are saying? I mean this is some deep racism that is not needed or relevant to the conversation at hand.
Sorry for the open interpretation.
Recently added to this star studded list, Ted Nugent... I guess he wants to see if he really can be dead or going to prison...
Well, that's a really difficult issue! Email them, call them, text them... just try and make sure they are "mining personal data" B/4 you get all hysterical with them and poop your speedos...
Well, the issue is you have no PROOF, just opinion. You do not know they are “mining personal data” because you simply have not checked into that. You have not downloaded their “crappy app” and tested it, so you do not have a clue regarding if the app is “crappy”, only, as usual, an uninformed opinion. This also holds true for them doing the legwork for a party, another opinion, based upon nothing. One must conclude that your investigatory skill set is just truly awesome…
