President Barack Obama Inaguration Thread

[PhoenixIreland]

You know what? When Bush was first elected I was prepared to give him a chance. I didn't like the election process, I didn't like the fact that his Daddy was a former president - I just didn't like lots of things but I was prepared to reserve judgement (as if it mattered) on the man. But Bush Inc. was a disaster.

Now, I'm sceptical about Obama when I should probably be positive. Maybe if you expect less you'll be happier at the outcome.

In 2000 I was young but knew the election had been stolen, but I thought to myself "It might be interesting to see a republican president for a change"
I learned later "may you live in interesting times" is actually a curse.

He was the worst president in US history and a war criminal, but when those marines saluted him for the last time I felt genuine pity for him and I can't explain why.

As for being sceptial of Obama, it's very important that we are, his feet needs to be held to the fire, the last President was surrounded by yes men and a passive press corps for the first 6 years, that can't be allowed to happen again.

Obamas been president an hour now and I'm already dissapointed: Ryan Phillpe has not appeared and offerd to have sex with me, free ice cream and puppies are not falling from the sky and I can't seem to find that suitcase of €500 bills I was expecting to appear as if from nowhere.
It's Roberts fault of ballsing up the oath! Now the good stuff won't come!!
maybe after the parade....

I'm so happy for black kids all across America, they can look at their latino, gay and female classmates and say "I can be president one day and you can't yet! ne ne ne ne ne ne"


He's signing his first documents now, including continuity of government orders ...thats a bit morbid....has to be done I suppose..

I think you got that one wrong PI. It should have read

..the last President said yes to his surrounding men....

Yep, the neocons got to him after 911.

In the 2000 presidential debates he said the US should never get involved in nation building and "if were an arrogant nation the world will hate us"

i don't like obama's cocky swagger

If I just gained the power to launch a nuclear war I'd be swaggering too.
In fact I'd probably be so drunk on my own power Biden would already have to take over....

Bush just landed at Andrews he's going into a hanger to talk to some people before getting on the plane

Is she on RTE? Again? Do they get her at a discount or something? F*ck, sometimes I hate living in this country. I'm watching Sky...

Ach I am switching between the television and radio. Prone was giving out about Bush not holding his wife's hand! Like, there MAY be something more important going on!! LIKE, taking out the bush rubbish!
