Where to Watch Obama's Inauguration Online


Want to watch the Inauguration at work? Or at a cafe? Of if it's just you and your laptop stuck on Muni? Check it out at any major news network -- CBS, ABC, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, C-SPAN and BBC -- or over at Hulu, who will be streaming it live.

Or right here at SFist, complete with the sporadic commercial for Blart: Mall Cop.

Update, 8:50 a.m.: Dianne Feinstein just spoke, now Rick Warren is yelling at the TV in the name of God.

Update, 8:55 a.m.: A big bow is attacking Aretha Franklin's head while she sings "My Country, 'Tis of The"

Update, 9:00 a..m: It's all about the Inauguration as evidenced by a search on Google Trends at 9 a.m. this morning. google hot trends obama.jpg

Update, 9:02 a.m.: Joe Biden is officially your new Vice President. Awesome. Yo Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman are performing Aaron Copland’s "Appalachian Spring,” using a special cello and violin, respectively, made for this occasion to withstand the cold. The official White House website has just changed to reflect our new President. Speaking of which...

Update, 9:06 a..m: Obama is officially your new President of the United States of America. Whew. What an arduous, eight-year-long road it has been.

Update, 9:08 a.m.: He speaks. Boasts about "risk takers, doers, makers of things" making a better life for us. He tells us to "dust ourselves off" for the "re-making of America."

Update, 9:27 a.m.: He's done. Make American new again, he told us. We'll try. Be sure to check back at SFist for Inaugural party info happening in the Bay Area tonight.

Update, 9:29 a.m.: Elizabeth Alexander, poet/Yale professor, is speaking now.

Update, 9:38 a.m.: Did Reverend Joseph Lowery really just say may "yellow be mellow"? Did he really just invoke an ode to urine? Ew. And: awesome.


Update, 9:51 a.m.: FORMER PRESIDENT George W. Bush and a wheelchair-bound Dick Cheney (who hurt his back lifting moving boxes, according to ABC News) are just about to board a helicopter at the East Front of the Capitol, ready to be whisked away into obscurity as a new dawn, if you will, emerges.

Laura Bush, we have to admit, looks fantastic. That gray-ish color really suits her. Michelle looks stunning, as usual, in a mustard yellow Isabel Toledo lace design.

Update, 9:57 a.m.: And they're off.

Update, 10:36 a.m.: Another invocation is being delivered, introduced by Di-Fi, just before lunch. Which looks like it will be fancy. Also, Michelle is drinking white wine. God, we love her so very much right now. (Cameras will be turned off for about an hour.)

Update: 11 a.m.-ish: Senator Edward Kennedy has a seizure.

Update, 11:36 a.m.: Here's to the ladies who lunch: Di Fi has some bubbly in her hand while giving a toast to President Obama at the National Statuary Hall.

Update, 12:14 a.m.: It's all about Edward Kennedy right now. ABC News just asked a visibly distraught Walter Mondale about Kennedy, and he almost lost his shit on the reporter. We live for moments like this.

Does anyone actually think Dick Cheney would lift his own boxes? Or am I alone on this one? It just doesn't sound right...
