Only other time I've ever seen a crowd that's comparable to this one is at the Phillies parade. 2 million people went to that, I would think this would draw more. there's no way 2 million people went to the Phillies parade, lol

There is. Most estimates said about 2 million, but it ranged from 1.5 to 3.5 actually.

LOL @ nova. There is no way the phillies parade had this many people. all the estimates came from Philly newspapers, I did a search. There aren't even 2 million people in the city lol of Philadelphia and I doubt every single person living in Philly is a Phillies fan. Regardless, I'll give them a mill with South Jersey included.

Yeah, it's crazy, but it's true. Anyways, it's about time Bush is gone. I think I'm more excited about that then Obama being elected. I like him, but I don't think he's the Messiah like a ton of other people seem to think.

Lol. I'm in South Jersey, and I know that pretty much every high school in South Jersey had about 75% of the student body not show up. There's a subway system from South Jersey into Philly, and they were completely jammed. We left at 7 am, 5 hours before the parade, and we were basically hugging the other people on the train it was so packed. It only got worse as time went on. Literally, we went to the one in Lindenwold, and there was not a single parking space to be had when we got back around 4 pm. That's about 3,000-3,500[and I'm going low here, cause it could easily be as high as 4,000 or 5,000] parking spaces probably. And that's only at one station. There's like 8 of them. Most of the people came from South Jersey & from other suburbs of Philly. Either way, it doesn't matter. My point was, it's awesome to see a huge crowd like this. Yo-Yo Ma!

Looks like Obama is only human. He is allowed to mess up the oath when he delivers every speech flawlessly.

Not at all. Just shows you how anxious he was.

So far it has just been a mirror image of his acceptance speech.

They expect you to remember a ton of words. It sucks, but he just needed to take a deep breath. If old man Biden did it fine, Obama could have also
