Obama Inauguration Awarded to Premium Cable Channel HBO

"Man of the People," Barack Obama, yet again shows his disdain for the common man. Rights to broadcast his inauguration have been awarded to HBO, a premium cable channel. I would suspect that many of those people who he endlessly cajoled to give him small campaign contribution ("C'mon, everybody has five dollahs") won't be able to see Inauguration Week on TV. Nice, huh?

UPDATE: NBC Chicago Channel 5 has live streaming coverage of the Inauguration over the Internet!
