Ronaldo (1)I see and hear Obama everywhere
When I woke up this morning, my senses told me to check out where to watch the Obama Inauguration online live. And the internet is full of Obama articles.
Obama ruled the blogosphere today. Even Pinoy blogosphere is full of Obama stuffs: online streaming links, Obama inauguration schedules, Obama Inaugural preparations, Obama inauguration videos, Obama inauguration speech.
Even the morning news on TV was reporting about Obama. For a change, I tuned in to an AM radio station and the news and commentaries were also mostly about Obama.
Never in history that an inauguration of a US President, or the US President-elect himself received such a worldwide attention as Barack Obama is enjoying. Could Obama’s inauguration become the most watched event this year? Others are saying it could even surpass the Super Bowl, where close to 100 million people tuned in to watch.
How many people will watch the Obama inauguration worldwide? 100 million viewers? This one is a worldwide event. The Bejing Olympics Opening Ceremony attracted more than 2 billion viewers worldwide. The Football World Cup in Germany in 2006 had an average of 1.2 billion viewers per match. In 1981, the TV coverage of Prince Charles -- Diana wedding attracted a worldwide TV audience of 750 Million. Princess Diana’s funeral was watched by about 2.5 billion worldwide.
And we are only talking about TV.
Technology has improved a lot in recent years that it is expected millions of people will also be watching the Obama Inauguration online through streaming media and on mobile phones. Imagine all the money earned by Publishers, Traditional and Internet Media companies from those millions of viewers.
Sure its more than the estimated USD160 million cost of the Obama Inaugural -- expected to be the most expensive inaugural in US history. Or is it still Bush who holds the record?
Even Obama look-alikes are everywhere.
Recently, Philippine TV played host to one of Barack Obama’s look-alike from Indonesia. Photographer Ilham Anas is cast in a “funny” commercial with a local popular President Arroyo impersonator, “Ate Glow”.
People loved it.
The commercial showed President Arroyo in an “official dinner” with President Obama who happened to have dyspepsia. Below is the YouTube video (pardon for almost like endorsing the product featured, but no I am not).

uy! thanks!
I love the title!
Hehehe. Thanks din bro
Uy tol salamat sa link love. ang dami nga nagpost ngayon about kay obama. maybe because it was higly sensationalized, and siguro din inaabangan ng marami ang engrandeng preparation. Di ko alam kung ngayon ba kakanta si charice o nakakanta na?
Ako curious ako sa speech na gagawin nya because it will reflect his policies particularly on the FOCA-abortion thing which I am against.
Salamat uli sa link, sadly di ko sya maiaadd kasi fragile yung code. may topak kasi ang theme ng blog ko, everytime I save posts that have video codes (except youtube), it changes the codes and breaks the embedding. kahit naka html mode lang sya at wala yung visual field. Iaadd ko na lang yang mga links na yan including this post of yours sa aking post-scrutiny of the event.

Same here bro, I had a hard time inserting videos since I am using a different “type” of wordpress. Good thing tha Anarchy video plugin worked out. You may want to give it a try.
Salamat sa link bro! Dami nga nanawa ako puro Obama kahit saan.
LOL – and he did made another first in history – most watched inaugural video of all times.
Hi B,
wow so many people really are blogging about Obama hehehe, I kinda leave all the Obama stuff alone since I discovered he has a blog of his own too
Too much hype but with good reason – their economy has and can affect all other economies world wide. Let’s just hope and pray that he carries out the duties he has sworn to take in a manner that is noble at least seemingly.

True, kakasawa na si Obama I see and feel him everywhere. Pati sa commercial. Hay naku.
Btw I was able to watch that inauguration. Too bad I had no popcorn at hand.

I wasn’t that excited about the Obama inauguration. I hope he can do what is expected of him, and that is to rescue America from the mire it is in right now.
Yes, Obama to appear in the soup, I hope to do more than its predecessor
