Editorial Reviews

The Inauguration of Barack Obama

On January 20, 2009, the world watched as Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States. History was made when the first African-American ever-elected president put his hand on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible and took the oath of office.
 
Watch how it all happened in real time. CNN and The Best Political Team on Television take you moment by moment as a new administration takes the seat of power.  See the parade of former Presidents and dignitaries as they are seated on the Presidential Podium, witness the swearing-in of President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. Watch the final departure of Former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush from the White House.
 
The ceremony features Aretha Franklin singing My Country ‘Tis of Thee and an original work by composer John Williams Air and Simple Gifts performed by Yo Yo Ma, Gabriela Montero, Anthony McGill and Itzhak Perlman. Opening with an invocation by Rev. Rick Warren and including a poetry reading by Elizabeth Alexander, the state ceremony concludes with a benediction by the Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD COPY!, February 18, 2009
This review is from: The Inauguration of Barack Obama on CNN (DVD)
I received my copy of the CNN inaugural coverage and it was fine. Pristine, clear copy and many of the touching, poignant moments were captured, so I say GOOD JOB as always, AMAZON! As for the extensive coverage of PRESIDENT OBAMA, blame the media or GET OVER IT! Those who think he's the anti-Christ need to really search history and their own souls! To paraphrase what the President himself says - "...what the naysayers don't seem to get is that it has never been about ME; it's about you (meaning us..we, the people). Try becoming a part of the solution - no one man can do it alone, but we should give our new President some support or some viable options to consider (without the malice and hatred!).

1.0 out of 5 stars CNN - THE INAUGURATION OF BARACK OBAMA, April 14, 2009
By 
B. Morgan-Sterling (Altamonte Springs, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Inauguration of Barack Obama on CNN (DVD)
I was very shocked that CNN did not create a better video for DVD release of the events on Inauguration Day. THe DVD begins somewhat awkward and it also ends awkward and abrupt. There was no coverage of the parade or any of the Inauguaral Balls. The DVD copy I received also stops several times during play. I was very disappointed in this purchase. I also purchased the DVD's from CBS, ABC, NBC and USA Today which were better than the CNN DVD. I must say the USA Today DVD was my favorite.

3.0 out of 5 stars CNN Inauguration video, March 19, 2009

This review is from: The Inauguration of Barack Obama on CNN (DVD)
The video runs less than two hours from arrival of Bush and Obama at Capitol Hill to departure of Bush on helicopter. Would have preferred if video had been longer and covered more pre-inauguration activities and/or part of the presidential parade.
