President Barack Obama will be sworn in for his second term at 11 a.m. CST on Monday, Jan. 21.
The 2013 Inauguration will be broadcast live online on various channels and by all the major networks, details and links to be announced. Following the swearing in, Obama will deliver his inaugural address, then participate in a luncheon followed by the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.

Tickets for both official inaugural balls sold out even before they were on sale due to a Ticketmaster glitch, according to Reston, VA Patch. Craigslist, of course, lists numerous tickets for sale — buyer beware.
Wisconsin will not host an inaugural ball, according to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, but there are dozens of other inaugural galas around Washington throughout the weekend, according to a listing on about.com.

If you would like to watch it with other Democrats. The Waukesha County Democratic Party will be hosting a watch party at the Majestic Theater. You can get all details on how to get tickets at www.waukeshadems.org

I would watch it- but I would need a barf bag. Is the Democrapic party going to hand them out?

I think the inauguration is not about the person who is getting inaugurated as much as it is about the office. Yes, today a Democrat is being inaugurated for his 4 years as President, but eventually a Republican will be getting inaugurated, and while I wont be watching it, I will not be disrespecting it because he is still the President of the United States.
So Craig, you may not like Obama, but I think you should respect the office and the tradition.

That exists? What a minority that must be.

I respect the office but not the man..or his party. But I suppose that is W's fault.

John,
We look forward to seeing you at the event and thank you for joining us. I will try and keep an ear out for you so I can say hi. The event is not just for Democrats, its open to anyone, all we ask is that everyone is kind and respectful. This is an event of celebration.
If you are free on Thursday you should come to our potluck. It is going to be a great time with a lot of good people. All the details are on the website as well. :)

This country is financially broken.
Why not eliminate government (taxpayer) funded inaugural celebrations and parties for ANY 2nd term president. Party affiliation is irrelevant. Swear the President in and be done with it.

That makes a lot of sense. Heck, why do we even bother swearing them in again? Grant them a 4 year extension on the original and be done with it. Back to work.

Well Bob, I think I've had a change in heart.
I just learned that "the latest boldface names to officially join in the action are Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, Usher, Brad Paisley and the cast of 'Glee.' That crop of singers, along with Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marc Anthony and John Legend, Nick Cannon, Fun, and Mindless Behavior are expected to make appearances at various events. Beyonce will be there to perform the national anthem; James Taylor is scheduled to sing 'Shower the People; and Kelly Clarkson will sing 'America the Beautiful.'"
Who can resist such a temptation?! Worth every penny of my tax dollars.

A nice collection of 1%-ers to honor the hero of the 99%. I'm sure all of them will instruct their accountants to avoid any available tax dodges this coming year so as to comply with his desire that they pay their fair share. And monkeys might fly out of...

It appears none of the following was included in any spending cuts....
1) The Presidential Inaugural Parade Management Joint task Force (I kid you not);
http://2013inaugurationparade.army.mil/
2) Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (read the luncheon menu and view the Committee members); and
http://www.inaugural.senate.gov/
3) The Presidential Inaugural Committee (view the store for Vera Wang designs; perhaps I'll splurge and purchase an Official Inauguration 2013 Shot Glass; not to worry, Tube Socks are available for the non-drinker).

I'm flabbergasted.

Recently added to this star studded list, Ted Nugent... I guess he wants to see if he really can be dead or going to prison...

How did this get so racist? On BOTH sides....
Nuitari, Mike Itzenhuiser, WPN1488, Jim Ignatowski, do any of you feel ok about what you are saying? I mean this is some deep racism that is not needed or relevant to the conversation at hand.
Jim Ignatowski

I feel pretty good about it Matt. Don't you?

I am going to give Nuitari, Mike Itzenhuiser, WPN1488, and Jim Ignatowski 1 hour to delete or edit their comments and then I'll do it myself. Hate speech violates the Patch Terms of Service and will not be tolerated.

Heather: Often times it is better to leave the racist comments so everyone else can see them. If they are deleted the rest of us can not form an opinion about them. That being said, if they are blatantly racist and vulgar I understand your actions.

How dare you call me a racist. Kwanzaa is a celebration of African heritage in which our president is a proud example of and can once again display to the public come Inauguration Day.
Sorry for the open interpretation.

I would like the DNC to answer why the Presidential Inauguration Committee, which is deemed BIPARTISAN, is mining personal data through their smartphone app to give the DNC mailing lists.
John Wilson

Nuitari -
Well, that's a really difficult issue!
Email them, call them, text them... just try and make sure they are "mining personal data" B/4 you get all hysterical with them and poop your speedos...
Nuitari
3:41 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Well I would never download their crappy app to begin with. The issue is the fact that they are supposed to be an independent, bipartisan operation and here they are doing the leg work for your party.
John Wilson

Nuitari –
Well, the issue is you have no PROOF, just opinion.
You do not know they are “mining personal data” because you simply have not checked into that.
You have not downloaded their “crappy app” and tested it, so you do not have a clue regarding if the app is “crappy”, only, as usual, an uninformed opinion.
This also holds true for them doing the legwork for a party, another opinion, based upon nothing.
One must conclude that your investigatory skill set is just truly awesome…
