President Obama's Dramatic Second Inauguration Hit With Technical Glitches, Rapper's Concert Insults And Scuffle, Lower Turn Out And Booing Of Republican Rivals
Barack Obama's second inauguration as President of the United States
of America had all the drama of a soap opera. A nervous Obama flubbed
his lines during the swearing in ceremony. Big screen televisions
erected to give audiences a better view of the proceedings malfunctioned
leaving some in the dark.
First Lady Michelle Obama also grabbed headlines. The First Lady's
new hairstyle and outfit were on the receiving end of many critiques online, some good, some bad. Rival Republicans, such as former Vice
Presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, were booed by attending Democrats.
Lupe Fiasco
Chicago rapper, Lupe Fiasco, saw his performance at the inaugural
concert cut short and yanked, after he slammed President Obama before
concertgoers by stating, "Obama didn't say s***. That's why I
ain't vote for him, next one either." Secret Service immediately
had the lights shut off and yanked him off the stage. Never a dull
moment.
