Barack Obama's Inauguration

[Roy Karrde]

It's childish to celebrate the end of what in a lot of people's opinions was the worst Presidency of all time?

Worst Presidency of all time shows absolutely uninformed they are.

As for childish, in a atmosphere that was supposed to be filled with Unity, and coming together. To act that way. Yes it was childish.

Many people feel that had Bush not gone so haphazardly into the quagmires of Afghanistan and Iraq, their children or loved ones would still be alive, and yes, I know the mantra of 'Well if you don't want to die, don't join the army' but a lot of these people don't understand what exactly their loved ones died for.

I would say that those people need to learn what Quagmire actually means. And that they know what their children were fighting for, in Afghanistan most of all.

To a lot of people, Bush is the devil, as hated by his own people as Saddam was by his people.

Which is a insult to the hundreds of thousands of Saddam's own people that he gassed, tortured, and tossed into mass graves. To compare Bush to Saddam shows a pathetic, a absolutely PATHETIC lack of knowledge.

I know that Saddam committed heinous acts against his people and he hanged for it, but it is not entirely disproportionate;

Oh yes it is. OH YES IT IS.

many people do have a level of hate for Bush that strong, and I doubt you were complaining with the way Saddam was treated when his rule came to an end.

And as I said there is a absolute MAJOR difference between Bush and Saddam. If you cannot see that then there are not words to describe how horribly disgusting you are.

Whether Barack will be any better or worse, only time can tell. No one could tell how well Bush was going to do,

And beginning on Day 1, people began to hate Bush. From the minute he took the oath of office they could not stand him because of what happened in Florida. Bush did not get a benifit of a doubt, why the hell should Obama?

Besides, Republicans don't have a right to do anything at the moment. Bush was a useless President and deserved all the crap he got; no one did it just because they felt like it.

In your view he was, not in mine. And as badly as Democrats treated Bush started on Day 1. Republicans have every right to treat Obama just as horribly. PERIOD.

At the moment, the international community is in your hand: more or less every country who Bush pissed off in the last 8 years (so, pretty much every sovereign nation on the planet, apart from Israel, of course) loves Obama and is willing to stand beside you, instead of opposing you. Hell, even the Yank-hating UK was jubilant today and ready to love America. The world is quite literally your oyster.

Give it a year, Obama will do something that pisses off the International Community and they will turn on him just as they turned on nearly every President. For Obama to please even half the International community it is impossible. So yes, give it a year.
