there's a vast number of otherwise intelligent people that are simply mesmerized by him

Mostly people were mad at Republicans or had some other issues. The vast majority of the "intelligent" looking people who voted for him have a veneer of intelligence with no philosophical grounding. One way you can tell is by the cartoonish TV drama shows they watch.

I have a bad feeling that our enemies will see how far they can go with the new guy and his peacenik friends

If I were a Russian or Chinese leader I would be salivating at the opportunity to finally destabilize the USA. The communists have been trying for some time, but they've always underestimated the freedom minded folks of the USA, so their plans have taken much longer than anticipated.

Were I a communist leader I would pour significant resources towards further American destabilization. Were I the Russians, I would work via proxy through Iran to further these goals and continue to poke and prod the US forces in the region in an attempt to tear down all that the Bush Administration has accomplished. Simultaneously I move to take back Poland and Ukraine. All the while I would increase support of the American leftists now that they are firmly in control.

All the while the Chinese leadership is salivating at taking Taiwan. When the US and NATO have their hands full with the Middle East and Russia, China will strike Taiwan and they will strike hard.

What, for the love of Trotsky, does it take to impress a seagull?

I was going to say a big heaping pile of garbage.

There’s a good side to it...Bush sold us out to the big money multinationalists...But now he’s gone...

B. Hussein will have to finish the job...We can blame him instead of Bush...

He’s a poser, and he knows it. He’s more concerned with how he looks to everybody else. He knows he hasn’t a clue but it sure is fun to play dress up and order everyone around. Wait til he actually has to govern, and then we’ll see real fear.

Excellent article!

More gubmint cheese is not the answer, but seems to be the only one offered.

This has not begun well and it will not end well.

I have a long-time friend from college who has an IQ of 150 and, you guessed it, she voted for the Big Zero. I was shocked because she's a devout Catholic with 6 children, and when I asked her why in God's name she voted for him, she said "It's the war....I don't approve of it, and Obama will stop it and bring the troops home."

I was flabbergasted. Who cares about all the babies that will continue to die, as long as the soldiers can come home tomorrow. She's supposed to be so bright - but she believed a liberal politician - that tells ya something right there!

Even when someone feeds him the lines in an oath, he’ll still botch them.

Denouncing "those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents" comes ill from a man whose flagship legislation, the Freedom of Choice Act, will impose abortion, including partial-birth abortion, on every state in the Union. It seems the era of Hope is to be inaugurated with a slaughter of the innocents."

Well said. Freedom of Choice Act ---- sounds so nice and patriotic. Republicans/Conservatives/Churches should refer to it the Freedom to Kill Act or Kill at Will Act.

Brokaw also equated the change of power to the Velvet Revolution, the term used for the overthrow of Czechoslovakia’s communist regime in 1989.

Talk about a Pravda worthy Stalinist LIE. We are being SOLD INTO SOCIALISM, not casting it off.

I loathe the Left.

As a non-Catholic who frequently attends mass, I am not comfortable with “glad-handing” “Catholics” who voted for Obama.

That Newt Gingrich, a history professor who knows the history of socialism, now fawning over Obama, is frightening.

That you're surprised by it is ... well, surprising.

Surely you recall Mr. Gingrich similarly fawning over Bill Clinton even as the Clinton was manhandling him like a prison bitch?

Newt likes power more than he likes truth. He's just as narcissistic as Obama, and he's drawn to those whose success in gaining power exceeds his own. It's this sort of behavior that explains why I lost my last shred of trust in Newt Gingrich in about 1995.

Can you remember one “We are riding the angels in the Whirlwind” line?

Actually, it was "there's an Angel in the whirlwind directing this storm".

End in tears? It’s begun in tears as witnessed from all the weeping on and off camera yesterday. But, certainly, it will end in worse than tears for all of us.

Last night on the radio I heard a blurb that shocked me. I've not heard it again nor seen any confirmation of it on the web. It said that The ObamaNation has issued an Executive Order putting a hold on all Executive Orders of his predecessor. Does anyone know anything about this?

A stale piece of bread. A stale crumb left over from last weeks lunch. They’re easy.

Revenge is a dish served best chilled, we as a partial nation of America is duly bound to prepare the chilled feast for our brethren to dine upon, for too long they have dined on objects made of sweetened aires.

And after we furnish them with the fruits of truth only then will their blindness be cured.

Now for you rednecks like me and need a translation, lets kick some a$$ and royally screw up all their dreams of a perfect world.

Or to boil it down further and quote one of my favorite movies, Serenity:

"So no more running. I aim to misbehave."

England should recognize it they saw this before with Lady Di. The princess has been dead how amny years and she is still able to draw adoring, weeping crowds?

As for the Brits, my mother called my 93 year old auntie yesterday. Auntie lives in Surrey. She was gushing over our new young president and how excited we must be for these new days. My mother reminded her that we are conservatives not libs so we didn’t vote for him. Then Mother asked about Brown and the upcoming election. My autie’s reply, oh I don’t pay attention to that stuff.
She watches the Beeb with ther toast and tea in the morning, goes out to have lunch with friends and then blissfully snoozes the rest of the day/evening. sigh She votes though...Labour. She detested Margaret Thatcher and changed her party during her tenure.
