And they're an hour behind. There's gonna be a parade in the dark if they don't hurry this shit up.

1. That is a shame for all those waiting on the sides and those local school bands
that have been waiting to be a part of this.

3. I suspect the people around Obama will have their work cut out for them
keeping him on schedule during these next years.

4. Damn that Bush; they've used up all the sunlight and left nothing for future generations
Under Obama, our kids won't be sent to foreign lands to fight for sun.

6. I'm waiting for the UofD marching band.
They were supposed to be after the Marines and Firefighters in the 2nd division. I don't know if it's passed yet or not. I wouldn't think so since Obama/Biden aren't in the reviewing stand yet.

9. the parade doesn't start until Obama's and the Biden's are in the reviewing stand
they're still a long way from 15th street and at the pace their going, they won't get there for a while.

14. Yup! our students have been texting and they've been posting
it on the UD webpage. They were really happy to be able to watch the whole ceremony from the comforts of a heated tent. There are another 2-3 Delaware bands there. I know the Smyrna Delaware Fireman's band is there, along with a high school band.
