There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
~Bill Clinton – Inauguration speech

Thursday was a busy day in social media and Clay Aiken was right in the middle of it. The day started out with a message from Bold:
Join Us For a Bold Inauguration Day
…This week on Bold TV, we are having a special episode in light of Inauguration Day. Clay Aiken will be hosting solo, and Carrie Sheffield will be Skyping in from Washington D.C. (but no worries, Carrie will be back in the studio next week).
To start off the show, we will continue last week’s conversation on race in America. We’ll watch a clip from Clay’s recent trip to Iowa, where he talked with students from diverse backgrounds, from Donald Trump supporters to members of the Muslim community. We will see how this community has been effected by this election season, and if it’s possible to bring such a divided community together.
Clay will then Skype in Carrie and Aloyna Minkovski, streaming live from the Watch Us Run conference in Washington D.C. They will discuss the inauguration, as well as Watch Us Run, which Bold is co-sponsoring with Bustle and The Huffington Post. The conference is a non-partisan event that features panels of discussion in politics, media, and others – including a panel moderated by Carrie on what it takes to run for office…
It sounds like a great program. You can see it tomorrow at 10am Eastern time on the Bold Facebook page.

Clay was busy sending messages on Thursday too. He sent out 9 tweets, 2 instagrams, and lots of messages and new pictures on his Facebook page. His tweets were all different and some people liked them and some didn’t. Isn’t that the way it is these days? If you like, you can read his tweets on his twitter page: CLAYSTWITTER .
Clay was also busy making changes to his pages. I guess he was trying to find just the right pictures to be on his pages during the inauguration.
I really liked this picture that is from his Facebook page…
At the end of the day, Clay added a new Instagrid to his Instagram page. He also put the picture on his Facebook page.
I like the picture, but it is a great grid picture on his Instagram page. You can see it HERE

So…tomorrow will be a full day. The inauguration has brought out the best and the worst of people.
I hope that each of us will not play the game of who is right and who is wrong.
Life’s too short to argue with others!
Have a wonderful day and …hope we get more tweets from Clay!
It is always fun when he tweets!
Looking forward to BOLD! Sad to see the President Obama and his family leave!
So glad you give us links lol! I listened to the one earlier this mo, when Clay still had a cold – but was disappointed in Carrie’s criticisms of Obama. Seems like she was reaching, or just emotionally agin him, cos w her background should know better; like his use of executive privilege (legal, constitutional, and I’ve read less than GeorgeHB), or why he didn’t try to sell his ideas to Repub senate/congress (when they stonewalled so hard they shut down gov’t!), or saying he was trying to cull favor w celebs by speaking to Trump at a press dinner (after he himself, as pres, was already bigger than Trump, and maybe cos Trump at that time was buds w Clintons!, not to mention Raegan the movie star and most other modern pres), or calling his invitation to a famous black rapper “hanging out w Hollywood types” (he has two black teen-age daughters, hello! Who else? Kennedy had Sinatra, Nixon had Elvis…) On each point Clay caught her up smartly, and he was absolutely right In fact, I was so invested in discussion I sent long msg to Carrie, but since I’ve only done such a thing once before (to PETA when they tried to trash Clay for animal abuse, remember that?) I believe I was in the wrong msg place; posting to the hosts of the show seems to be a FB site, yes? While I think mine went to Bold hdqtrs.
Very intetested in Clay doing fort duty today and what Carrie will have to say from DC, but it’s hard w no computer.
Thanks too for the heads-up on his media site changes. Love all the pics, including his own (he’s a great photog), but did you see that he got a real hate-mail tweet? Not threatening teally, but calling him a “girly-man” and stuff. As he points out, kinda illustrates the attitude of the time.
I love that picture of him in the blue sweater! It’s been my favorite for a long time. I know that some people will agree with Clay’s posts as well as others who won’t. That’s what makes this world go round! It’s definitely a time of adjustment for us all. God bless us all!
