Live Feeds & Schedule: The Presidential Inauguration (History in The Making)



Today is such a historical day with the inauguration of President Elect Barak Obama, I think I will refrain from a new post and instead suggest you watch the inauguration via live feeds and links (and read yesterday's post on the best Obama memorabilia, of course).

Obamamentos - The Hippest Obama Inaugural Souvenirs And More!




With the inauguration of our President-Elect / Rockstar / Pop Icon/ Harbinger of Hope just around the corner, there's a lot of Obamarama fun to be had. Don't commemorate the special event with crappy ashtrays and keychains when you can have a signed basketball, a marvel comic, skate deck or Obama Nike Air Force Ones.

Special collectibles, designer t-shirts and totes, even a new Shepard Fairey poster all herald the historical inauguration of Barack Obama. So, get your piece of history by buying an Obama memento (or Obamamento, as I call them) worthy of the occasion.

Here are some links to hip mementos and more.

Obama and Spidey!
A Special Marvel Comic book:



To celebrate the upcoming inauguration of Barack Obama, Marvel is proud to present an all-new story teaming up one of the world's most recognizable political figures with the world's greatest super hero as President-Elect Obama joins Spider-Man in "Spidey Meets the President!"



Written by Zeb Wells with art by Todd Nauck and Frank D'Armata, the story takes place in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day and finds one of Spider-Man's oldest foes attempting to thwart the swearing in ceremony of the 44th President of the United States.

Fans can read it in its entirety in Marvel Comics' AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #583, available in comic book shops nationwide on January 14th, 2009 (don't bother... it is sold out already).
