This “fool” (bad word substituted) is going to continue to PO more and more people. He is going to rile us up to the point of no return. Well, I’m ready for it.

I didn't know there were that many brain dead voters in Minnesota and Illinois. The Minnesota election shouldn't have been even close. Here in Illinois most voter have completely lost their minds to elect Obama to ANYTHING above dog catcher. Illionois has terminal DemocRATitis and it's incurable.

Don’t you actually have to be President first before you can start issuing proclamations?

Not if you're The Barry.

I am inspired by your committment. I too shall serve in similar fashion. In addition, I will organize a neighborhood Ammo Purchase for the Poor, and engage in some much-needed shooting practice. I love serving!

Great idea!

I'm calling for a 'National Day at the Range'.

January 19th is mighty close to the anniversary of the bombing of Saddam Hussein’s presidential palace. Nice of Saddam’s namesake to try and make it a special day of Code Pink service.

Somebody black wants to ignore the Involuntary Servitude clause in the Constitution.

I believe that qualifies as irony.

We need to replace “liberal” with a new, more descriptive word. Socialist

is probably the best but we need a more descriptive word

that combines idiot, self destructive, one who is used,

brainwashed, mentally sick , etc.

Mr. Obama and Joseph R. Biden Jr. are planning to roll up their sleeves themselves that day and perform some as-yet-unspecified service work in Washington, D.C.

Hey, won't George Bush still be the President on 19 January? But hey, if these guys want to try doing some "work", I'll be happy to supervise.

My Chinese Daughter-in-law told me about regular “big Saturdays” in her homeland, when everyone (except those excused) would be volunteered to do work for the government.

>>Mr. Obama and Joseph R. Biden Jr. are planning to roll up their sleeves themselves that day and perform some as-yet-unspecified service work in Washington, D.C.

Suggestions:
1. Donate more than 1% of their bloated salaries to the Salvation Army;
2. Collect all the lies and calumnies uttered by RATs over the last 8 years;
3. Harvest all the hot air in Versailles for alternate energy useage; and
4. Give one of our servicemen the day off and do their job.

“Obamalist?”

No, something liberals would find repulsive. Get the digs in at the same time.

I’m in for that, or “National Reloading Day”...
