So how do you feel on Inauguration Day? The nation is awash with mixed feelings about this super-combo of politics, culture, out-of-control media. Link tells you why...

[peggybac]

Pure disgust.

[bergmeid]

I already lost my old country to socialism, I can’t take this one going too.

[stuartcr]

I feel fine, pretty much like every day, thanks for asking.

[stylin_geek]

I’m already tired of Obama. I cannot believe how sickening the coverage of him has been by MSM. MSM might as well admit they all want to have his love child.

How do I fee? Sad because my surgery got postponed until next week and I was happy I was going to be knocked out all day.
So instead I'll eat pop corn and watch the HOUSE marathon on USA network.
And in disgust that this country is swearing in its first avidly public Marxist president.

[svcw]

Not fee - feel.

[pgkdan]

Exactly! Mixed with a little grief.

[RaceBannon]

THis is how I am celebrating today's events

[rockrr]

I’m going to the dentist today (really!) - I suspect that it will prove to be the most pleasant part of my day...

[pepperhead]

I feel like news organization and TV channels have went way overboard with the inauguration coverage and 0bama specials. They didn’t do this much for Bush or Clinton.

Thanks for the chuckle! I needed that today. ;-)

[pepperhead]

Pure disgust.

I agree, we just elected a guy who has terrorist friends and went to a racist church for 20 years. I couldn't be more disgusted.

Ya think?

I am so deeply disappointed that we would elect this person that I can hardly stand it. It has nothing to do with his color. It is the content of his character. I know enough about him to know that this is a train wreck coming down the tracks the importance and impact of which will be felt for many, many long years and I simply can not believe the folly that we have embarked upon. I am in mourning, I am shocked and I am heartsick. I really am truly and deeply disappointed in my fellow Americans.

To paraphrase our new “first lady” I am ashamed of America for the first time in my adult life.

[LottieDah]

You mean waves of nausea hit half the nation.

[netmilsmom]

I refuse to be like a DUer. We are partying today. Get school work done, play in the snow. We are even having cake tonight.

I figured we might as well live it up. Who knows when the first terrorist attack will come.

Oh, and I’m going to buy more silver.

But then again, I had a tooth extracted last week and a root canal this morning. I have Vicodin. Life is just quite okay.

[meandog]

So how do you feel on Inauguration Day?

Like Lehman Brothers, like GM & Chrysler Corp., like Citi group, like Barack Obama's half brother, who lives on $1/per day sitting in a hut in Africa.

[FreedomFerret]

For the sake of the Nation, I wish Obama well. No use crying over spilled milk, and the sun will rise again tomorrow.
