Inauguration Watch [Live Thread]

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

Might as well have a place to vent.

Dumbing down of America.

I don’t think he’s a moron. But I do think he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Agree, the poem is terrible. So is this prayer. Guy looks and sounds like Charlie Rangel.

His voice is two octaves higher that Rangle's and the market gained 30 points during this prayer.

[silverleaf]

so far:

screwed up oath
terrible poem

and don’t forget the First Lady’s choice of upholstery in place of a dress. Perhaps she intends to recycle it into a love seat.

“From Robert Frost to this crap?
How far we’ve declined in just a few decades!”

That’s because the big bad Conservatives pulled arts funding in the public schools;)

>>From Robert Frost to this crap?<<

Sounds like she was trying to imitate Jesse Jackson.

[IndyTiger]

Chief Justice Roberts, shame on you.

Agree. The screwing up of the oath of office is all on Justice Roberts, IMO. He messed up the order of the words. Why not keep the oath on a 3x5 card to refer to, just in case?

“somewhere, someone is patching a tire...”

Nope. She said "somewhere, somehow ya'll gonna catch on fire."

[Rennes Templar]

Pitiful pathetic plodding pedestrian presidential poem, and benediction.

“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.”

Muslims’ interests are not in the best interests of Jews and Christians.

[tflabo]

Ms. Alexander is a professor at Yale??

and how many multiple thousands of $$ does tution cost administered by Liberals? And then they complain about the cost and quality of education?

[happinesswithoutpeace]

[keepitreal]

Did I catch that right?

“somewhere, someone is patching a tire...” ??

And darning a hole in a uniform!!

I think she was referring to CUBA

[altura]

Yes! The DP keeps QVC on all the time just to have something innocuous on TV. And there it was all Obama. I changed to the other shopping network. Glad you complained.

[navysealdad]

crack houses will be busy tonight

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I only heard part of the poem but it made me think “this must be what Vogon’s victims go through.”

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Maybe Roberts did flub that part. But he wasn't entirely responsible for BHO's flubs. For instance, at the very beginning when Roberts was still saying "... do solemnly swear," BO interrupted him and was speaking at the same time. This apparently threw Roberts off, forcing him to back up a little, and from there on, their mistakes fed off each other and compounded.

The more I replay those few seconds on youtube, the more it appears BO initiated the chain of mistakes by interrupting Roberts at the beginning. So I'm not ready to dump this all on Roberts.

[txhurl]

I just had a few freaky household omens.

[Dinah Lord]

Damn race baiter!

[hugorand]

$170 million for this? ZZzzzzzzz
