LESSONS OF THIS INAUGURATION
by The Historian

AN UNPRECEDENTED INAUGURATION
This one was unique in many ways.

It will downhill from here...

Economy does not listen to shaman's pronouncements. Things will get very ugly, and loud speeches won't help...

it didn't look like an inauguration, it looked like a coronation with obama as the queen of england and all those silly saps on the mall as her peasants.
Queen of England has no power...

I think Obama looks more and more like a Latin America dictator...

The lesson learned is that
by Demcon
if the national press corps collectively adores you then it just does not matter what sort of background you have or how much your image is nothing more than cleverly combined smoke and mirrors.
But the economy does not listen to that...

which means, Obama must quickly collect a lot of money from lobbyists, put in the Fairness doctrine, and empower Acorn. If not, he is toast.
Obama has made too many
by Demcon
grandiose promises that he just cannot keep. He is eventually going to be toast. The only question is how long the worshipful press is going to continue covering for him while blowing smoke up our skirts.

You guys must be trying REALLY HARD to maintain that cynical crust in the face of the genuine hope the American people manifestly desire and believe in. I mean, I can almost feel the sweat and hear the grunting. You WILL NOT have hope or even extend the benefit of a doubt. DAMN if you will bend an inch. The strain must be exhausting.
I believe Obama will turn America...

Into Latin America. Any large business that wants to prosper would have to contribute to his groups. TV and radio will be regulated. Newspapers will depend on the bailouts. Vote counting will be controlled by Obama specialists - think Acorn. IRS, FBI and Justice Department will harrass the GOP and conservatives.

When a 10 year old kid comes to me...

and tells me that stupid laws of physics are not right, since he cannot get the correct answer - I don't have much hope that he is right, and the laws are wrong. This does not make me a cynic - that makes me an educated, thoughtful adult.

You can jump and down with your hope-n-change slogans. Why should it bother me?

Beats me. Why DOES it bother you?

It does not bother me when you jump - not my problem
by gringo_911

At least it will use up some of your energy. What bothers me is when people who cannot chew gum and fart at the same time elect someone the president of the United States. Then, it becomes my problem. Because while you are jumping with joy, the government goons will take my money to fulfill yourstupid dreams and ideas.

I, a hard-working American, is forced to pay for your ideas. This is why it bothers me.

The GOP and conservatives DESERVE to be harrassed. They've had their 8 years to harrass the people who chose to NOT live in fear. All the while, they have worked very hard to make the entire population afraid of everything: muslims, homosexuals, illegal immigrants, stem cell research, weapons of mass destruction, anyone who doesn't believe EXACTLY what THEY believe. For a minute there, I began to believe the sky was actually falling!!!!

It will be nice to have some common sense and compassion in the Oval Office for a change!!

What's the name of a guy...
by gringo_911

who tells us that we are on the brink of great depression, in times of unprecended crisis, and we must all unite in the face of this huge danger.

Hint: He was saying it today, during his innaguration address...

Anyway, as for fear - you haven't seen nothing yet. Barack Obama will turn into a constant slogan. Only fear will force millions of americans to give up their hard earned money to give it to a Chicago hustler.

Wait, gringo, don't you usually say that Obama is only about hope and change and only delusions of those things make people vote for him? Is this some Orwellian doublespeak you're using where hope is fear and fear is hope? I'm not quite sure I follow.
