Barack Obama's Inauguration

[Roy Karrde]

I have to agree with Toxicity in that the line will be remembered. It was disturbing, insulting and disgusting, and I am shocked that Obama's transition team allowed it to be included. Because you know that they went over with a fine tooth comb.

As for Obama's speech. It was medium of the road in terms of inauguration addresses. But the hype around it was insane, how Obama wrote it by hand, how he studied Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan's speeches. With the over hype for it, it just failed, and really that isn't his fault, nor is it his fault that after two years of campaigning he went more toward his comfort zone in having a red meat campaign speech than a inaugural speech.

As for Heald:

A: Listen to a couple of Obama's speeches in which he doesn't have a script of any kind. He is very Bush like in his speech patterns. But really that comes from being used to a teleprompter than having to think on his feet.

B: As for the useless Prick Comment about Bush, I just hope you and all those childish idiots in the crowd singing "Hey Hey Hey Good Bye" will remember that its 4 years of Obama now, and Republicans have every right to treat Obama like scum and dirt in the way many treated Bush for 8 years.

And as much as people want to talk about Unity and Coming together for Obama. The absolutely disgusting display in the crowd today toward Bush, shows that all it is, is empty words.
