Inaugeration Day - What Time Is Obama's Speech?

[Median Democrat]

On the website, they just refer to the swearing in at 11:30 a.m.. Does Obama make his speech right after the swearing in? I'd like to watch the speech live, as opposed to on TIVO.

4. Then, What time does Rick Warren Speak?

Does Rick Warren give his invocation before or after the swearing in? I'd like to watch Obama's speech live. Thanks!

7. I think the ceremony's start at 11:30.

Obama should be sworn in at noon. His speech should be right after that.

6. Noon, departure of Bush. Best thing ever.

And what is with the nightclubs till 5:00? Lots of alcohol going on there. My husband hates playing clubs in NY because they are open so late. He gets back to CT at like 6:00 in the morning after playing with his band.
