Large crowds gather to welcome Obama for public Inauguration 2013!



Washington (CNN) -- A day after formally beginning his second term, President Barack Obama on Monday takes part in the full trappings of his inauguration by reciting the oath of office in front of a crowd expected to number between 800,000 and 900,000 people.

The nation's first African-American president also will become only the 17th U.S. leader to deliver a second inaugural address before leading the traditional parade up Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.

It looks like everyone is confused as to whether they're praying or what?

when you guys go to family things and they pray, but you're not religious, what do you do? i usually just sit/stand there or kind of bow my head.
lowlighter 21st-Jan-2013 04:36 pm (UTC)
that's what I do lol
k5memo 21st-Jan-2013 04:37 pm (UTC)

rkt 21st-Jan-2013 04:40 pm (UTC)
LOL.
allyson 21st-Jan-2013 04:37 pm (UTC)
I usually keep my head down and my eyes open, and then I discretely don't say "amen" with everyone else or just mumble something incomprehensible.
urgencytobleed 21st-Jan-2013 04:37 pm (UTC)
yeah i usually bow my head a little and just look at my shoes and not say "amen." sort of awkward but it's worked so far.

thrace_ 21st-Jan-2013 04:37 pm (UTC)
Same. I just stand still with my head down and think of the TV I'm gonna watch after it's over.
lunarsole 21st-Jan-2013 04:37 pm (UTC)
lol I do that too
wauwy 21st-Jan-2013 04:38 pm (UTC)
I've stopped bowing my head when my family does Catholic shit because I'm mad at the Catholic church and sick of pretending to respect it.

I'm just kind of quiet, but I suspect I have an obnoxious smirky expression on my face.
brucelynn 21st-Jan-2013 04:38 pm (UTC)
I do what you do lol
stupidsxyflndrs 21st-Jan-2013 04:38 pm (UTC)

sadisticsidhe 21st-Jan-2013 04:38 pm (UTC)

Visiting Arlington was a sobering experience.
aujourlejour 21st-Jan-2013 04:38 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I think you have to experience it to really understand what it's like there
jeveuxsavoir 21st-Jan-2013 04:41 pm (UTC)
I live right by it, and drive by at least part of the cemetery every day, and even just that is a little...it always makes me pause and think.
emmy0001 21st-Jan-2013 04:42 pm (UTC)
i agree- i went with a friend who was in the coast guard. and my friend had a lot of friends in the army and one of his friends died in afghanistan and we visited the grave and it was just heart wrenching.
malady579 21st-Jan-2013 04:37 pm (UTC)
Damn, this prayer is the length of the Bible.
madhubala 21st-Jan-2013 04:38 pm (UTC)
lol, but she's a good speaker.
lowlighter 21st-Jan-2013 04:37 pm (UTC)
someone is going to gripe about her not mentioning the "under God" part of when she said the pledge of allegiance.
brandon198403 21st-Jan-2013 04:37 pm (UTC)

Isn't today like 'gun appreciation day', despite it being a holiday honoring a man who was shot.
shortliljackers 21st-Jan-2013 04:40 pm (UTC)
wow, classy, america.
isuspectnargels 21st-Jan-2013 04:42 pm (UTC)

tragickingdomxo 21st-Jan-2013 05:16 pm (UTC)
No, it was the 19th. Pissed my birthday was tainted with that nonsense.
cityxpretty 21st-Jan-2013 04:43 pm (UTC)
Srsly, is everyone asleep? Even Obama supporters are silent.
tragickingdomxo 21st-Jan-2013 05:16 pm (UTC)
Fox News is doing "maintenance" so they probably don't even know the inauguration is today.
