Inauguration

[Seshmeister]

For fuck sake this is ludicrous, it's just a guy taking an oath and reading out his 1000th speech in the last year.

The BBC News program for it is 7 and a half hours long.

CNN's is 16 and a half.

The only way to sensibly fill programs that long is if he gets shot.

That might be a bit tricky though with 8 000 cops, 10 000 National Guard, 1 000 FBI agents in addition to the Secret Service and hundreds of others from the Department of Homeland Security, the National Park Service and U.S. Capitol Police.

Nutso.

LOL

I marched in Clinton's first inauguration as I helped with some of the many organizations and high school bands that love this sort of thing. I even saw Al Gore's old school Cadi limousine close up as everything was done and we military kids were enjoying a beer outside late on the occasion...

But I think one can appreciate of the last eight years of utter shit that we might throw a big party!

But yeah, the media stuff is a bit overblown...

[chefcraig]

You should see our local paper. Look, I understand the cultural significance of the United States electing it's first black President. Yet do I really need to read of this significance via an interview with the guy working the drive through at the nearby Burger King?

It's like the manner in which certain awards shows are filmed: If a black entertainer accepts an award, immediately the camera will zoom in on the first person of color available in the audience. There is something peculiar, not to mention somewhat cynical about the entire enterprise.

Yeah, they went overboard with the MLK Day and "glory hallelujah, free at last!" stuff yesterday. But it is a significant event.

I'm not demeaning the importance in any way. I am merely pointing out the media's clumsy, painfully awkward (and at times genuinely laughable) attempts to cover it.

[FORD]

It's a party and the whole world is invited.....

You can celebrate the first African American President, or the fact that the dumbest piece of shit to ever occupy the office is gone, or the hope that our long international nightmare is over, or all of the above.

And may this be the LAST time the BCE occupies the White House!

[LoungeMachine]

Wish you hadn't of jinxed us.

Here comes Jeb.

[chefcraig]

Perish the thought. Having lived under this nitwit as the governor of my state, the only positive thing that I can offer is the belief that the planet will go foom in late 2012.

[sadaist]

LOL

I marched in Clinton's first inauguration...

That's actually really cool. Someday I'd like to attend an inauguration just to witness first hand the history of it all.

[LoungeMachine]

Many are attending today just to make sure Chimpy really is leaving.........

He's speaking just now but I bet he doesn't come up with a better line than that...

Last time I was in Florida I noticed that all the elevators have a safety certificate with his name on it.

I started using the stairs more...

[Seshmeister]

Now it's a poetry reading?

What did Bush choose - Dr Seuss?

[LoungeMachine]

I Like Green Eggs and Torture, if I recall....

[GAR]

Good GOD, you're a naiive one aren't you.

Instead of bending over prostrate before your Hope and Change posters with that candle up your ass, do a little objective research ::coughbiden: :coughclinton:: once in a blue moon..

[GAR]

That's actually really cool. Someday I'd like to attend an inauguration just to witness first hand the history of it all.

All that coolness is the result of Al Gore's Global Warming trend.. 900,000 people in the streets, all wearing 2 or 3 layers of clothing suffering to witness a black puppet release the bond of mental slavery.

You're best off in the comfort of home, clicking thru the channels than having to deal with the crush of the illiterate pissing, shitting and dropping their trash right where they stand.

The cleanup bill is gonna be a whopper.

[FORD]

So did y'all notice how badly Opie Roberts butchered the Oath of Office. Obama had to correct his dumb ass. I'll bet that stupid fucking - never saw a courtroom until 2002 - bastard has never even READ the Constitution.

[Seshmeister]

There's 16 000 temporary toilets apparently

[Seshmeister]

Less than 11 hours to go now...

[GAR]

..till the Messiah walks across the Potomac?

It may indeed be froze over, but technically that's still walking on water.

Any puffed-up Democrat like the one posting above you would be ashamed not to point that out to you in detail.

[Coyote]

But yeah, the media stuff is a bit overblown...

A bit?

Hey, I can appreciate the novelty of a black president (read: handpuppet) as much as the next guy, but do they have to make it seem like the second coming of Christ?

Besides, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss"...

[GAR]

I'm sure that if he's assassinated at the podium it'll be all over the news and DC will be fully rioted, all replayed for weeks on end.

If it goes smoothly, we'll see closeups of innumerable teary-eyed black celebrities whose weepy faces I have no desire to recall upon when it's time to say "told you so" about this fucking loser.

He's a loser. I've no interest in losers, only those with merit and experience for this position so say what you can about Boosh Saytan and get it off your chest. You all have about half a day left.

[jhale667]

He's a loser.

Takes one to know one...

[FORD]

Gar, it's time to take off the white sheet, put down the burning cross, and move on.

And, oh by the way.......

SUCK IT, YOU RACIST FUCKING PRICK!!!!!


(because I know that ain't gonna get deleted on THIS board!)

Wouldn't have had I been modding Debates at RF at the time...Racists CAN suck it...

And get your WHOLE HEAD in front of the shotgun next time, Garfy, K ?

[GAR]

FORD, I think you sufficiently pissed them off over at DDLR because you shit the bed sparring over the facts about Obama I pointed out which you didn't like.

[Guitar Shark]

I Like Green Eggs and Torture, if I recall....

it was a popup book too

[LoungeMachine]

I won't bother telling you to STFU, because the more you spew, the dumber you appear....

And I love it when you show what a stupid, racist, fuckwad you are.

[Guitar Shark]

Don't feed the trolls

[GAR]

Takes one to know one...

And you're backing him as a winner, because he's accomplished.. because he's..? Because (help me out here JHale..)

"I am down for inaugurating Obama because he has accomplished ________ and has done _________ which means he's ready to lead the country with more experience, knowledge, and proven service than any other man in the country today."

Tell you what I'm looking for here in case you can't figure it out: he's mowed lawns thru highschool, in college he worked for ________ and interned for _________ which paid for his tuitions.. yes it's a loaded question because there's not a headscratcher that he's not qualified to serve, yet he's still the winning candidate?

I can accept the obvious yet I'm still trying to understand the greatest political coup in voting history was to get the illiterate Black vote to back a puppet candidate instead of being upfront with the most qualified man to lead?

I'll ponder this till my death, and you have nothing to offer because you do not consider all things.

[kwame k]

So I guess running the Harvard Law Review was chopped liver?

[LoungeMachine]

I'll ponder this till my death, .

Anything we can do to speed up this deadline, let me know.....

[Hellraiser!!]

Hell, even here that's all what TV/Radio and general press are talking about...really boring!!! Enough is enough!!

[GAR]

That would be "chopped turds" more like, and he didn't "run" Harvard Law Review, a staff editor meets with writers to decide what contributions get published and it's from the most liberal school in the nation.

Speaking of meetings, I'm out.. so troll all you want on this its your wingding not mine.

I never watch these things because every fucker's been up there getting inaugurated since Big Bush ("no new taxes") lets us down, so let them earn the adoration I say. After all they get 4 years to endear us with their brilliant hard work patience and deliberation and I'd rather see them do what they say they're gonna do, and not sweettalk a pack of lies.

[GAR]

Well, one thing you can do for me this way is self-immolation as a sacrifice to the Benevolent Fire God.

This actually works, because once you lose consciousness you'll stop trolling my posts and no longer exist to concern yourself.

[kwame k]

"Barack Obama's election in 1990 as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review gave him his first moment of national fame, a powerful intellectual credential and a sweet book deal. It was also his first electoral victory, won in part by convincing the conservative minority of law students that he would treat them fairly." Link

[chefcraig]

Fascination discourse. Let me see if I'm following the basic line of thought: The same people that have been cynically chanting "My country, right or wrong" while simultaneously allowing the dismantling of said country's liberty over the past eight years now state "My country, wrong or right", as it is futile to change or endeavor to repair the status quo?

You have to admit it, there is at least a consistency to the muddled thinking in play here.

Your plan doesn't address your death, which you've promised us.

Please stay on topic.

How can we get you to stop breathing?

[kwame k]

What Gar can't come to terms with is we have a Black President and the Mexican's are taking his job..........throw him a bone.....gotta be a shitty day, if you're a racist.....

Geez, I'm sorry I advanced Barry the credit of Editor.

Editors actually do some coordination work. Sorry Kwame.
