I must admit, I have just found the start of the parade very touching.

I'll have to take your word for it because I ain't watched nothing but the 2 oaths....after which I made a few myself.

Did 0bama happen to use the phrase, ".....so help me, God....." in the oath?

Okay, thanks. I was nervous about that.

I know the Protestants and others here consider it a Roman Catholic medievalism, but I wrote about it in the religion forum here.

If one doesn't ask for the help of God, one never succeeds.

History is my evidence.

oh, FFS. I am back on C-SPAN, where I can hear the crowd noise better. they are STILL chanting "OH-BAH-MAH, OH-BAH-MAH", not "U-S-A, U-S-A". this is a remarkable and, I think, crucial difference. republicans would be chanting "U-S-A" right now.

well, the ones that were there, anyway. not too many republicans would have stood in 20 degree weather for john mccain. jus' sayin'

in watching the crowd reaction, I am more and more convinced that there is something seriously askew at the very foundation of our culture. people are literally losing their minds over a guy that has yet to actually accomplish anything, has told us even less about what he plans to attempt to accomplish, has has a past that would indicate that nothing will be accomplished in the future.

yet, there they are, the throbbing masses of chanting idolators. and then I was struck by an odd thought; you could replace obama with last season's winner of american idol, and there probably wouldn't be much of a difference at all.

So now will you stop calling those of us who have already figured this out "bitter"?

Thanks.

Not bitter, just passionate. Passionate and certain that a nation who voted for a man because he's black! is a nation that is ****ed.

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold:
its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life.
If we can undermine these three areas,
America will collapse from within." ....Stalin

Morality died in the 60's and 70's, the ACLU has just about killed any spiritual life and today you see the death of patriotism and adulation of the ONE...Duh Fury.

All hell Duh Fury.

I thought for sure he'd either ride in that new chariot or they'd have to carry him in a chair like other African royalty get.

I was looking for the water that he was going to walk on. or I thought he would at least levitate a bit.

I heard tell that during the luncheon, he was changing water into wine, or at least a fairly weak pilsner.

is the obamagasmic parade gotten badly behind schedule? it is getting dark. and isn't the obamagasmator supposed to be in the reviewing stand right now reviewing his own parade, instead of chillin' in the white house?

Dear President Barack;

You Suck.

lock me up for mentioning this (I have tried to contain myself all day), but jill biden and her bright red coat and black boots looks, well, a bit inappropriate for an inauguration.

no, but she had a credit card machine in her purse.

Right next to her selection of, uh, pleasure devices, I assume.

Huh?.....was she walking between Clinton and Obama?

Wretched Excess · « **Reply #148 on:** January 20, 2009, 04:31:54 PM »

this thing is massively behind schedule. historically, it starts around 2 and takes 2 hours. it's freaking dark in DC now, which is no place for, say, a high school band from ohio to be. even if it isn't 20 degrees. I wonder if this will turn out to be an Obamen

if this was a republican president, the headlines right now would be saying "New Republican Administrations Starts Amid Confusion, Disarray".

Wretched Excess · « **Reply #149 on:** January 20, 2009, 04:46:53 PM »

I just noticed a Navy Band saluting the President as they marched past the review stand (of course), but The President put his hand over his heart. I thought the protocol since reagan was to return the salute? admittedly, the man is commander in chief, so he is entitled to do whatever he wants to do . . . still, though, it was interesting.

(Heh. I just saw the Petal High School Band. Petal is very close to Hattiesburg

)
