The Obama Presidency

You can watch the Obama/Biden Presidential inauguration LIVE here on my blog courtesy of Hulu. I read a quote from a friend about this event..and I quote ” is wondering with all the crazyness are we getting a new president or is it the 2nd coming of Christ?” I agree, I remember 8 years ago most of my friends wouldn’t even have voted let alone realize what was going on in other parts of our country. Keep in mind, things like the economy, housing, failing banks and major scams hit the fan after Obama started his campaign and he has some serious items to address and I would say, Obama might be the closest thing to a savior right now the United States has in its sights. This is going to be the most watched presidential inauguration in history. Never before have we seen a President touch Americans so deeply since the Kennedy era. One of my better friends hit the campaign trail to support Obama in Nevada and California, week after week people from all walks of life were helping spread the word. Now, I don’t think Obama can part the seas, but at least he cares enough to step into probably the worst economy our country and the world has ever seen. I am looking forward to the transparency Obama has been evoking and most certainly feel like I am part of something bigger.  The American people have spoken and it is time for a CHANGE.

The 404 Podcast on CNET (listen here) had me on as a guest this morning (8am PST) and we also streamed the event on the front page of Skateboards.com The show was cool, being that I do some radio it was nice to see an actual studio being used for podcast and live streaming as people often forget about sound quality etc. when doing a podcast or live stream. So we talked about Blockbuster putting a bid for Circuit City, the new company could be called CircuitBusters (chat room input here)…we laughed. Then we switched to Botox…now…anyone that knows someone doing this needs to stop them from self mutilation, you are supposed to have wrinkles and laugh lines..they are NORMAL. We checked out some viral video stuff…one in particular of a Rugby player (that’s all the heads up I am giving) and took a look at the hottie Megan Fox who starred in Transformers. Overall the show went incredibly well, with full descriptions of what Skateboards.com , Snowboards.com and Surfboards.com does and how people can enjoy it as much as we enjoy making it…now go and join up.
