Did you see him get out of his lime, and walk the parade route. I'm just so excited.

That is amazing! I am watching it now

I am not watching this parade, but I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures of other Presidents walking the parade route before. In fact I thought they all did, but I'll be the first to admit I could be wrong

By Scripps Howard News Service
January 18, 2009
WASHINGTON — Speculation is buzzing about one of the first high-profile decisions Barack Obama will make after taking the oath of office — whether he will walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.

Since Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, strolled down the entire avenue to the White House in 1977 after his swearing-in, all but one subsequent president has also left the limo at least for a stretch in what has become a symbolic "man of the people" gesture.

Ronald Reagan was the only one who didn't. In 1981, he traveled the 1½ miles in an open car, in deference to his age. His 1985 inauguration parade was canceled because of icy conditions and bitter wind.

It remains to be seen just what a great prez we have. I really dont think he will be able to do the things he promised the people on his campaign. Time will tell. is it obvious that I am not impressed? But I do hope he does great!

I agree with you...time will tell. Although it would have been a good start if today instead of spending $100 million on all this hoopla, that he had helped the homeless and soon to be homeless of this country.

Shouldn't this be in "OFF TOPIC" I'd like to read about yorkies here

Yorkiekids · 01-20-2009, 01:42 PM

I thought they said on TV it was 1972. I stand corrected, but I'm still excited.

Yep, I agree....everyone wait & see if he actually delivers on those promises.
