Gregory: he's very tall

Smiley: Obama's got to challenge the US people

Todd: He's testing driving his inaugural address

Gregory: he's a poet not a prosaic

Todd: the number one thing he has to do is make people sacrifice which is what all Democrats must do

Brooks: what strikes me about Obama is that unlike Bush he doesn't sneer and belittle everyone who disagrees with him

Gregory: what a weirdo

Gregory: Tavis Obama snubbed you even though you are incredibly boring
