No, we’re not ALL giddy with tingling legs about watching the upcoming Presidential Inauguration. According to the mainstream media that anointed the “great one” you’d think that all 305 million Americans will be glued to their TV’s on that fateful day. Nope, sorry.
They forget that 48% of us DID NOT vote for him. 48% of us don’t want him anywhere near the White House to be sitting behind the most powerful desk in the free world. 48% of us would rather have that grumpy old McCain puttering around the White House in a baseball cap and T-Shirt that reads “Wouldn’t you like to be a Maverick too?”
While some mainstream media outlets are making it sound like most of us can’t wait until noon on January 20th 2009 to watch our new leader take the reigns a more un-biased Rasmussen Reports poll says differently. According to Rasmussen 28% will watch the whole thing. Not quite a majority. Another 18% will watch “most” of it. That’s a total of 46% and still not a majority. Remember, he got 52% of the popular vote so not even ALL of them will be watching most or all of the glitzy Hollywood style event.
Another 29% say they’ll watch “some” of the event. If “some” equates to accidentally flipping through one of the 927 channels overplaying the event then I might accidentally fall into that category while searching for Gilligan’s Island re-runs.
So, that leaves the 21% who aren’t planning to watch any of the event at all and the 4% who aren’t sure. Aren’t sure? I’m guessing the 4% who aren’t sure just won’t answer for fear of being called a racist. Wow, we’ve come a long way baby.
To sum up; 54% will watch “some” or none of the event while 46% will watch “most” or “all” of the event. Again, hardly a landslide.

I agree. I think everyone is so caught up in the "historic event", they're forgetting the important things such as Obama's lack of experience, questionable citizenship, etc. Totally frightening and very cult like. Leading the lambs to slaughter....
