Inauguration Watch [Live Thread]

[kinsman redeemer]

I feel compelled to smell the sour milk. I must do it.

Might as well have a place to vent.

Barf - small village where my father was born....

(Poor W having to sit through this.)

[KeepingFaith]

Did anyone catch the part about those who choose leisure over work?

This worm is going to turn real soon...

“The rhinestone thingy at her collar...

looks like she picked it up in Times Square on New Year’s Eve.

Doesn’t it say “2009”?”

ROFL!!!!!

[Fu-fu2]

“Everything was going fine until they got to the ‘Hussein’ part of the oath. That’s what threw them both off in the oath of office. Honestly, would you be able to keep your thoughts together administering the oath to a ‘Thomas Hitler Dewey’ in 1948?”

Great comment!

[CaptRon]

If anything it was past noon.

[Carling]

This is no speech. It is another campaign speech.

It's either a campaign speech or a State of the Union speech. It certainly isn't an inaugural address. The crowd seems a bit puzzled.

[vox_freedom]

“Power grows through its prudent use.” Uh, huh.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[GOPsterinMA]

A preview of things to come, perhaps...

This guy is as fast on his feet as a corpse dancing in cement shoes.

[LadyBuzz]

I’m a careful listener - but I keep hearing BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... anybody else

[Girlene]

He is still campaigning

Yes, he is.

[LibertyRocks]

Thanks, I appreciate the correction! [I went and looked it up right after I posted and saw I was wrong about that.]

[Cinnamon Girl]

Was that crack about not giving up our ideals for expediency regarding national security a total JAB at President Bush? The camera crew seemed to think so.

[mewzilla]

Here is everything which can lay hold of the eye, ear and imagination - everything which can charm and bewitch the simple and ignorant. I wonder how Luther ever broke the spell.

John Adams

[reagan_fanatic]

Doesn’t matter what he says in the speech. It wil be on headines tomorrow as the “Greatest Inaugural Speech’ ever.

Yep. Let the hero worship begin. I long for what was and fear what will be.

[RasterMaster]

Every time Obama speaks, my porfolio shrinks!

[MeanWestTexan]

“Does he have a point in this speech?”

Well, yes. It’s all about changeful hope and hopeful changefulness of hope and some changing hope.

[repentant_pundit]

What a relief !

You heard him, he swore to uphold the Constitution !

He's a real American after all !

[romanesq]

Will read the speech later. But if he is pessimistic it is to lower the bar.
The mob has been swooned and must now pay for their stupidity.

Time to pay up.

[syriacus]

Obama’s initials should be BS rather than BH.
