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

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.

The MSM and the liberal lemmings now feel the satisfaction of having buried the real country that feeds them, defends them, nurtures them ... and now what we are witnessing is the mad funeral ... at least that is what they “believe” is happening. Unfortunately they should take a lesson from history and watch how it ended when another “One” blob of mindless followers - the Jim Jones dupes - got to the point where no thinking individual was permitted in to try to tell them the truth before it was too late. That blob of “One” became so paranoid of reality that they tried to kill anyone who might disturb their illusion and ended up committing blob of “One” suicide. I think we’re in the stage of the poor devils having given over individual free will to become the unthinking blob of “One”. Best to stay on the outside still equipped with that ability to think and protect that individual free will. Plan for protecting self and family and watch as this new indestructible “titanic” hits the ice bergs, but with no life boats available this time around! It will be the thinking ones who will fight while suffering and, in the end, hold on to the Union.

Does anyone have any questions about how Hitler took over in Germany?

Wait until the brownshirts get rolling.

That concert is living proof that a sucker is born every minute. The man talks and talks and talks and says nothing and the idiot masses eat it up. They deserve whatever they get.

I had to walk away with that shot of him standing in front of the Lincoln's statue. BHO is no Lincoln. Lincoln is the reason that I am a Republican. Shaking my head. The audacity.

You’re absolutely right. I have never seen a person shoot out so many words so well and say absolutely nothing.

“Do you think Obama will be

1)A Fantastic One
or
2) A Great One

I’m really surprised at how many cuss words I know and thank God the kids are outside because me and my husband have really been letting it go as we watch this vile thing. I’ll ask for forgiveness on Wed after I’m done. I’ll never listen to Garth again.

We are a bit perplexed because although we see no signs of shackle marks on anyone it appears today the black man has officially over come. Wonder if Condi feels a little insulted? Oh wait she’s a republican so she doesn’t count. I’m sure the second the wealth isn’t distributed as they’ve been told it would suddenly the un-seen shackles will be back on but some how it will be the republicans fault. Ok, I gotta go cuss some more. Some old man they dug up from the grave is singing.

The best thing of all is that these people are going to be so disappointed in the near future. It’s cracking me up.
