WASHINGTON – Barack Hussein Obama claimed his place in history as America's first black president Tuesday, summoning a dispirited and divided nation to unite in hope against the "gathering clouds and raging storms" of unfinished war and grave economic woe. A jubilant crowd of more than a million waited for hours in frigid temperatures to witness the moment as a young black man with a foreign-sounding name took command of a nation founded by slaveholders.

If 0bama thinks Iraq is a ‘raging storm’, nobody had better put a pea under his mattress.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have a feeling we are going to see innumerable “Barf Alert”s in the next four years.

"We gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord," the nation's 44th president said.

So he admits he thinks the WOT was nothing but fear mongering.

While he pretends that irrational RAT fear mongering like AGW is OK.

Greying mulatto foreigner who usurped a nation founded by the brightest and bravest minds of their times.

That's what our history has become?

First of all, he's not only got a foreign sounding name, he's a foreigner who spent most of his childhood outside of the US, he's only half-black and has no slave blood and looks like a white yuppie with a suntan.

Secondly, there was a heck of a lot more to the founders than being "slaveholders." Some of them were, some of them weren't. And even for those who were, it was a problem that they knew would have to be solved someday. Which it was, obviously.

Still, this thing about electing a foreigner has got to be dealt with. The founders were pretty explicit on that.

The “raging storm” will swipe the ‘rats out of Congress in 2010 and the usurper in chief out of office in 2012.

By the dear God in heaven, the Obomination might have siezed power and we don’t know it but he can not assume it. Power, in this country, is in the hands of the PEOPLE!
