1) "Hears Truman Address - Washington, DC: For the first time in fourteen years, a Republican-dominated congress assembles to hear the presidential message on the state of the Union. He asks for moderate labor legislation and urges speeding of peace settlements."
2) Miami: Orange Bowl Parade
3) Bowl Games college football
4) Pasadena: Tournament of Roses (partial newsreel).
looks like the republican party hasn't changed that much.. still a bunch of old white people, making sure poor remains poor and the guns are loaded.

it was the first time in history that a president broadcasted anything directly from the white house. Yes it was televised.

Republicans will retake majority status in 2010 or 2012 but not in 2008.
