Poll question: Will Rev. Warren's microphone work tomorrow? |
|
I'm thinking it will probably work perfectly.

5. Considering the enormous importance of the larger event, I'm sure it will work fine. |
|
Just FYI:
"PE Obama has a real sensitivity to LGBT people and our lives..." "It was a real honor to be part of the inauguration... people will have to be patient..." - Rev. Robinson
I know no one likes to listen to me, but maybe people will listen to Rev. Robinson

You realize the myth about Robinson's not working has been debunked, right?

8. Did anybody see it or hear it who was watching the event? |

That's the point, I think.

9. Well, there were hundreds of thousands of people there. |
|
And the millions watching on youtube.
"That's the point, I think."
I'm sorry? What was the point?

13. Robinson was broadcast live on You Tube? |
|
I thought that this was an exclusivity to HBO, who did not film Robinson, as far as we know. There's only an amateur clip of him on stage on You Tube, and you can't even see him in it.
As for being able to actually hear Robinson, we have witnesses here on DU who were there who have testified that they could not hear his prayer, nor the sound on videos preceding him. So it is safe to assume that some of the speakers out in that vast crowd of half a million were not working, although the microphone itself might not have been the problem. A lot of people did not hear him. The people who tuned into the radio or TV to see the show did not see or hear him.
I take the "microphone not working" of the poll as a metaphor for the blackout of Robinson on the broadcast.

15. Haven't you heard about the new YouTube/HBO simulcasts? |
|
It's all the rage. And then there's the new YouTube/HBO precast where millions of people can now tune into YouTube and watch things that were supposed to be on HBO but didn't make it.

20. Not a myth. Some couldnt hear |
|
Maybe the mikes worked okay, but all the speakers did not. Heres a DU members first hand experience: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8103078&mesg_id=8105862Excerpt: The Rev. Robinson gave what I am sure was a very good benediction--only I didn't hear a bit of it. The sound system went funky and the crowd started yelling at them to turn it up. The poor reverend. He's trying to give his blessing and he has 500,000 or so people screaming "WE CAN'T HEAR YOU".

7. Depends on if he is the first act or not |
|
The first act might have technical difficulties; but then again, the Inauguration will be covered by all the major networks so the equipment might be better.

I have no doubt that at least one person is using this episode to further their agenda but that's the exception not the rule.
I doubt anyone can claim I was ever an HRC fan. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find me saying something nice about her.

Personally, I was happily undecided between Clinton and Obama during the primaries. I was one of the "I have issues with both of them, but they're both WAY better than McCain" folks. But I also remember that you and bi_baby were both very vocal Obama supporters, if my memory serves me.
For any of us to be reduced to bitter, can't get over it Clinton supporters is insulting. But I guess it's easy for some to make themselves believe that because it meshes well with their "Obama hater" fantasies.
