Inauguration Watch [Live Thread]

[OBXWanderer]

I’m distraught. The air changed in the Kmart parking lot at noon when I was walking back to my car!

Yeah, I'm a little distraught myself, I just filled up my truck, and I STILL had to pay for it. I guess now I have to go home and write out a check for my mortgage. So much for this hope and change. /s

[STARWISE]

That just happened for me ... been refreshing
for the last 1/2 hour, and it’s been Pres.
Bush, until this moment.

[Letitring]

LOL. You got that right.

Miserable rendition of “My Country Tis of Thee” by Aretha Franklin. What was she thinking?

Could’ve done without those last remarks from the final preacher but he IS 87 years young. Sooooooo.

I didn’t “get” the poem at all.

All and all, thanks to President and Mrs. Bush and their team, this inauguration has been splendid. Congrats.

[blondee123]

Thanks for the updates, please keep them coming!

“that last black guy came with some very racist remarks. As well as comments about poor being oppressed etc.It sounded as he was still living in another century”

They could have had Rev. Wright speak...same mentality.

I’m wondering what the adoring MSM (the White folks) must be thinking.

[MagnoliaB]

That was pathetic!! They used to make fun of Bush. I hope we see BO’s stumbling over the oath all over the internet.

[Snoopy88]

No you haven't, you're still an Idiot...

[God'sgrrl]

The media lies to the world about the right, Christians, and the election. They’ve pretty much controled the election for Palin. Now Juan Williams is weeping on Fox News over a black president being elected while Bush flies over D.C. Racial tensions? Who creates them? If I hear one more reference to history or race I’m going to scream. I’m tearing up over a gracious couple leaving D.C.

“That wasn’t so bad. He blew the oath twice, the speech was unimpressive, the poem was a joke, and the benediction was racist. All and all, not a bad day.”

And, Michelle's dress is laughable. Who is her fashion consultant? Rhinestones in the morning? Compare her to the class and grace of Laura and Laura's dress. Michelle has a long way to go.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Rush just said it was a ‘buzz killer’. Agreed.

[freema]

Have you seen the trash on the Mall?

[Travis T. OJustice]

Your local GOP office. Get active and re-take (or hold) your state. The succession debate will begin shortly.

You mean the same GOP that put up McCain as the candidate? LMFAO! ROFLMAOPIMP! That's a riotous joke! Absolutely hillarious.

I cried watching President Bush and Laura leave. I am just so sad. I feel like I have hard lump in my throat. You’re right though, I am glad they can relax in peace now. Thank God President Bush is not as bitter as I am at how he was treated. It seems like only Fox showed him in the chopper flying over the mall one last time...the other stations were too concerned with the one.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

FABULOUS!!! May I use it on the web?

[divine_moment_of_facts]

Oh, my. Brit is lauding the speech!

Brit started praising Obama after the last debate.

[don from manassas]

Can someone please explain that benediction when whites do what right?

[jackv]

The man couldn’t even repeat the oath of office!! Oh my gosh. And they make fun of Bush???? Unbelievable “prayer”!! Could it be more divisive??? Rich, elites, white do what’s right, black won’t be asked to give back, brown stick around???

Appalling. Absolutely appalling.

I knew it was no coincidence that the Illinois 3pick lottery on Nov 5th was 666.

Destruction in motion. Right before our eyes.

[Snoopy88]

Same Fashion consultant?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

And, Michelle’s dress is laughable. Who is her fashion consultant? Rhinestones in the morning? Compare her to the class and grace of Laura and Laura’s dress. Michelle has a long way to go.
