I live in Jacksonville, NC, home of Camp Lejeune MCB, which, IMO, is one of the most patriotic towns in America. I have worked at the local community college for over 25 years which encompasses quite a few inaugurations. This is the first time that I remember the college going to special lengths to provide access to TVs in classrooms for viewing the inauguration.

This is being sponsored by the History and Social Sciences Departments, not the Administration, but anything like this would have to have been cleared with the Executive VP of the college. I know the inauguration of the first African-American is an historic occasion, but, IMO, every inauguration is worthy of the same attention. You can believe that had McCain or some other Republican won the election, this would not be taking place. The TVs in the Student Center would be available as they always are, but classroom TVs would not.

It will be if one ever gets elected.

Actually it makes me sad that President-Elect Unicorn is taking away the credit that would be due to the first descendent of black slaves to reach that office.

Oh well, pass the popcorn...
