[Heidi]

Let me see whether CMW feels like cooking dinner tonight while I transcribe. :rofl:

[liberal N proud]

31. That would be fantastic for us cube rats

We are not supposed to watch non work related video.

But they will stream FAUX news in the cafeteria when bu$h is speaking.

[BrklynLiberal]

44. Here's what you need....

http://www.tvbgone.com/cfe_tvbg_main.php

Your TV-B-Gone® universal remote control resembles other TV remote controls, but is different in two important ways. First, it only has a power button that allows you to switch a TV on or off. You control when you see, rather than what you see. Second, the device is so small that it easily fits in your pocket, so that you have it handy whenever you need it wherever you go: airports, bars, restaurants, laundromats, etc.

“You can use TV-B-Gone® to control access to television for philosophical or practical reasons, or simply to have fun!“

—Mitch Altman, Inventor of TV-B-Gone®

TV-B-Gone® now features the Instant Reactivation Feature which allows you to turn TVs on or off quickly and easily. TV-B-Gone® is a type of Universal Remote Control which works by shining pulses of invisible light that tells most any TV to turn off or on.

18. c-span.org has an ad on their homepage, so maybe there too

livestream or on TV?
http://c-span.org

[Heidi]

19. It's scheduled but I can't tell whether it's TV, livestream or taped for archive.

Can you? http://inside.c-spanarchives.org:8080/cspan/cspan.csp?command=dprogram&record=566148473

[Muttocracy]

21. I saw another placeholder like that - but there's a link on the right side of home page

So I'm guessing it will become a live link with picture and whatnot later this morning?

[Heidi]

23. I dunno if it'll be live, but c-span apparently will be getting its coverage from

ARD TV in Germany. :hi:

Sorry I can't be of more help about that; we're in Switzerland and I haven't watched c-span in years. x(

[Muttocracy]

34. I have no idea - I'm w/o a TV. I'm jealous - hear great things about Switzerland! nt

[Heidi]

35. Watch one of the live streams at links here, then!

I haven't watched TV in forever -- it's all in foreign languages over here. :rofl:

[Muttocracy]

38. C-Span has info up on their home page now - C-Span 3 looks like

Every so often living here has it's advantages... :)

[RNdaSilva]

29. For sure live on MSNBC, 10 a.m. Pacific Time.

Would bet that CNN and probably Fox will also be carrying it live.

Counting down...three hours.

[Heidi]

30. Kick to solicit more links to live TV coverage and internet live streams!

:kick:

[Sunnyshine]

32. K&R - Watch it live on Obama's site in live feed on UStream here:

http://origin.barackobama.com/live/

[Heidi]

33. :thumbsup:

Thank you! :thumbsup:

[Muttocracy]

36. I wonder if his site will be overwhelmed - it's good we have so many options listed here!

[Heidi]

37. I'm gonna watch one of the European live streams

so I don't get in the way of stateside Americans who wanna watch at Obama's website or one of the other "local" links. :)

[Sunnyshine]

40. I was thinking same. Feels like the whole world is watching. I hope they are...

This is a first in online campaign events to date. Good call Heidi! This is a great way to have all the bases covered for us wonks at DU. Just in case any one's link gets too slow, or becomes inoperable. We got options! :7

[Sunnyshine]

54. Obama site playing "Let's Dance" while one security guy just stands there.

It's purdy funny. He looks serious but the music is rockin out. :rofl:

I see some fists up in the air and a few heads. 20 minutes to go per MSNBC?

Now, the event screen is back up and feed has momentarily stopped.

[BrklynLiberal]

45. This is perfect. Thanks.

[BrklynLiberal]

46. That poor guy standing there all alone. Wonder if he knows how many people are watching him right

now. Hope he doesn't have to scratch an embarrassing itch.

[gblady]

47. interesting.....

the Obama link is playing "Sympathy for the Devil" now....

[Hamlette]

48. what are those "boats" doing there...or whatever they are?

when they show the shot up towards the Brandenburg Gate there are some big things that look like boats. What are they?

[SoonerPride]

49. hope they aren't, um, swift boats.

I'm sorry, that was lame.

Flog me.

[Hamlette]
