This whole thing sets the tone..from the racist remarks to the jazzed up national hymns to the bungled up oafh of office...to the uninspiring speech...it was a bomb. And the disrespectful treatment of President Bush as he departs..
Sickening day.

These people are crud.

that speech by the phony was a campaign speech nothing more.
It was putting down Bush left right and center.

I read nothing in the way of praise of Bush or thanks for keeping us safe.

The comes the racist bit which seemed to escape the white liberals

...disrespectful treatment of President Bush as he departs..

First I'd heard of this... can you clarify?

[johnnycap]

...and let me say for the record that the speech was a disjointed patchwork of jargon and soaring phrases that obviously borrowed heavily from JFK's innaugural syntax. It was as though he read all of his favorite presidents addresses, lifted the phrases that struck him as ‘awe inspiring’ and then rewrote them by exchanging synonyms and then sewed the whole thing together. It was a hodge podge. It didn't flow and had no solid theme at its base.

Where Obama clearly shows he is not Lincoln is his inability to draw upon years of reading and internalizing original source material (The Bible), and imbuing his prose with divine language. Incidentally, that was Biden’s problem too, and like Obama, he was caught lifting phrases as well.

Truly a sad day in America

This is the attitude among many blacks unfortunately. This is a sad day for non-racists of all colors.
