Did I miss Robinson's invocation?

or is it later?

1. I've been watching since Obamas came and waved to the crowd

and I haven't seen it. Perhaps it will happen just before Obama's speech?

2. I started with HBO's coverage

so maybe it will be later. I will be very upset if I missed it.

4. I'm thinking he will be praying

just before Obama speaks at 4:00.

8. HBO is the best in coverage

No talking heads!

9. except I would have watched CNN or MSNBC until 230 if I had known

Robinson was earlier.

3. MSNBC said it was at 2:20 PM.

Around that time I turned to CNN and while Blitzer was speaking, it looked like Robinson was giving the invocation.

6. God Damn it

Arggggggggggggg

10. Obama's working the line from the concert

And in case you missed it, he just gave Robinson a huge hug.

5. Yes, we all did! Don't worry, the bigot Rick Warren will have his primetime spot

and we will all see his fat face on TV.

7. I am so pissed

It would have killed them to cover the entire thing? Or at least for the Obama people to let us know the prayer was before HBO's coverage?

16. A wonderful prayer and it is outrageous that HBO did not begin the program with it.

[bunkerbuster1]

17. "And please, God, keep him safe."

Amen.

Thanks for the link.

13. My question is why did Robinson give the invocation at 2:20 when HBO filming started at 2:30

Who made that decision?

[Ocracoker16]

18. Why did HBO do that?

[flpoljunkie]

19. The question is why did Robinson give the invocation at 2:20--10 minutes before HBO's designated

start time of 2:30PM.
