Crowds flock to National Mall for inaugural concert ("We Are One"
CNN ^ | Jan. 18, 2009 | CNN

Posted on 01/18/2009 12:28:56 PM PST by FocusNexus

Thousands were descending on the National Mall in Washington on Sunday afternoon, hours before a free inaugural concert boasting big stars.

It is President-elect Barack Obama's first full day back in the nation's capital. He spent the morning visiting Arlington National Cemetery and will later attend the "We are One: Opening Inaugural Celebration" at the Lincoln Memorial featuring performances by Beyonce, Sheryl Crow, John Legend, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, U2, will.i.am and Stevie Wonder.

Tears rolled down one woman's face as Obama spoke. "We love you, Obama!" someone yelled out.

"I love you back," Obama answered calmly, eliciting a roar from the crowd.

"You know the country is in the middle of a honeymoon when 6 in 10 Republicans have a positive view of Obama," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

Can you have that many people in one spot without rioting?

He knows it too which is why his speeches on the subject really aren’t very positive and in truth are extremely hopeless that he will suceed.

Should be...

6 in 10 Republicans have abandoned their senses and lost their minds, committing treason against their country.

The rest of us are pissed the frak off.

I think most gays think Obama is a closet homosexual and will “have their back” (no pun intended)once he gets in office. Think Larry Sinclair and his new book, “Barack Obama and Larry Sinclair... Coke, Sex, Lies and Murder?”

Thats different. Reagan was a true American and a great leader.
Obama is a questionable American and a unproven leader.

This is such BS. When President Bush was elected twice all the Rats did was bitch and moan about how it he was illegitimate and really didn't win but now the freakin RINOs are having a love fest with Obama.
I'm done with the Republicans forever!

When I first heard of this Larry Sinclair fiasco I thought it was BS.
Now, I can't figure out why Obama is not suing him for libel or something. Sinclair has openly spoken of their supposed interaction and has now begun selling a book.
If none of this was true don't you think the guy would be in jail by now?

He even accuses Obama of somehow being involved with the murder of Donald Young who was a gay man from none other than Reverend Wrights church. Donald Young was in intermittent contact with Sinclair after Sinclair called Obama’s campaign office with a story of his interaction with Obama. Sometime after, Young was murdered. Sinclair maintains that Young was also involved with Obama, along with another gay man from the church choir who was murdered days before Young.

Sounds like a story from the National Inquirer but Sinclair claims to have phone records to prove this connection to Young. He also claims calls that were made between he and Obama when they had their supposed “tryst” and phone records would verify what occurred but Obama won't release them.

Could it be that the disclosure involved in a court case would be a problem for Obama and that this is the reason he is ignoring this pesky man? Maybe time will tell, stay tuned for the next episode of “As the World of Barack Turns”.......

Well, I'm not a lawyer. But if I got a letter like that, I'd ignore it or seek a restraining order. It's not blackmail. It's a taunt.

I guess we'll see when the book comes out if Sinclair can prove his case.
