So where is the real story about today? That would be about why the most open, accessible, inclusive inauguration in history sold the concert broadcast rights to HBO (in return for its promise to show it free on cable tonight), yet didn't follow through and make sure the public could tune in tonight (ie, even those not subscribing to HBO). A major screw up here. And not a good sign. Whoever was responsible for this ought to be fired.

I'm surprised they kept people out. The area immediately around the Reflecting Pool was packed, but there was plenty of open space off to the side. A relatively small group of people had a couple of Jumbotrons all to themselves.
