Sorry to be a party pooper, but I can't share this swooning Obama hysteria Has everyone lost their marbles?
The inauguration of President Obama is being treated like the Second Coming.
The coverage is so gushing we might all drown.
Of course it’s a great thing that America, with its history of slavery and segregation still a shockingly recent memory, now has a black President; the palpable joy of African-Americans is entirely understandable and deeply touching. And there’s no doubt that Obama is a highly charismatic and attractive personality.
But what’s more than a wee bit troubling is that the swooning hysteria reflects the fact that people appear to believe that as of today the world will be saved. Swords will be beaten into ploughshares, peace will be brought to the Middle East, Iran will be pacified, every American will have health insurance, poverty will be eliminated and utopia will have arrived.

He wouldn’t be an illegal, simply not eligible for the Presidency.
I am Outraged! Wasn’t nObama’s coronation today? That’s what I thought. Then explain this: My car needed gas today and I had to pay for it. That’s disgusting. Is this guy an indian giver or what? And, to add insult to injury, I had to pump the gas.
Wasn’t nObama supposed to make 4,000,000 jobs today? If so, why am I still pumping my own gas? This guy is a farce.
Actually, the exact quote today from the “reverend” was that “tanks will be turned into tractors.”
This is ABSURD.
Our so-called media has gone absolutely loonie.
There’s gonna be the biggest backlash in public opinion against the press slobbering, in history.
I give it a week, max. People are already getting sick of it.
Fox News joined it a while back, I crossed them off my list of news sources some time ago. Now it’s strictly internet, sites like FR. The rest make me vomit, I’ve never seen anything so sickening in my entire life, not even for the celebrity flavor of the month. I think the more they know it’s sickening to rational people, the more they push it, like spiteful little kids. It’s going to blow up in their faces though, one way or another. Obama’s going to do something they can’t spin away, and I can’t wait for the stuttering and stammering.
“America, with its history of slavery and segregation still a shockingly recent memory”
This is annoying coming from a Brit. I guess she
forgot about the “Shocking” indentured servitude (the English enslaved the Irish)in the not so distant past.
The ‘immaculation’ of obiONE was a sickening display of idol worship.
The “tolerant” liberals had the most disgusting signs on display ripe with the sewage that invades their brains when someone does not agree with them.
I am ashamed of these hypocrites.
Agreed. The entire media has turned into Perez Hilton.
Very welcome. As the rivers of adulation rush, its time to step onto the bank and watch the offal flow.
And there are still people in this country stupid enough to wonder how an Adolph Hitler could have come to power in a civilized and modern country like Germany. They even have the gall to curse the German people for falling for the lies and distortions.
Maybe now they understand how it can happen.
Healing the lame, helping the blind to see, and turning loaves and fishes into food for the masses...with the expectations that the media jackels have created, I almost feel sympathy for Barry. Not.
I hear far more anti Obama people on FOX than what I see posted on FR.
FR has turned into cheer leaders for the Neo Left Third Party anti war loons.
We watched a Tivo’d Disney movie and then reruns of America’s Funniest Home Videos.
ditto
Read the book of Revelations. This was all pre-ordained. I truly believe this.
Me neither, I couldn't find a vomitorium in which to watch it.
They had a big screen TV in the cafeteria at work. I normally eat there but today I ate at my desk.
Our Republic will be reduced to a Communists Nation. Sad, but look at the way this turd talks. King Obama!!
I think you’ve been going to the wrong site. I haven’t read any cheering or support here for Obama and I’ve been here practically the entire day to get away from the gushing on tv.
It’s 10:10pm and they’re starting it again!
Beside not being current history, beside all the white blood shed to end it, the English have a bit of a history with slavery. Amazing Grace was written by John Newton, a one-time slave-trader and subject of the royal crown.
