Inauguration Day 2009

So here we are.. Only a couple days away from our new U.S. President.

I hear the networks are doing a 72 hour blitz leading up to it tomorrow.. Like as if its the Super Bowl or something.

Everybody keeps talking all this "he's gonna get assassinated" crap. Not sure if most people realize how severely worse that would be for our nation if it did happen. (which most likely wont with the incredible amount of security they have planned for Tuesday)

First off, there would probably be riots like we've never seen. Worse then MLK. #2 Biden would be our President.. I dont know about you guys, but this dude still creeps me out. We could forget about all the "change" and "dreams" Obama had planned. Im pretty sure Biden would keep things mostly the same...no big changes. He would be much more conservative & probably protect the rich more. Infact, im sure most Republicans would rather have Biden as our President.

Obama's recent speeches have been pretty boring..but this is a good one from Obama today. Worth watching. ( even if your a republican )

That was a very good speech. Even as a republican I can respect what he said in that speech. I'm welcome to have Barack Obama as our new president.

He is not going to get assassinated... the people who would want to assassinate him are too dumb to be able to pull it off! The people who are smart enough to pull something like that off are smart enough to know NOT to assassinate him. Simple as that.

There is still some ignorant racist who will try and do something. Even if they do not succeed, they still interrupt one of the most historic moments in the modern US history.

We have shortened periods on Tuesday because everyone will be watching the inauguration as a school. Everyone is going to report to their second period class when it starts. I'm pretty shocked my school is doing this, its no doubt a pretty historic day, but I never imagined them doing this.

I couldn't really care less about the inauguration other than the fact that I'm curious about how many people will be cheering while wearing soiled adult diapers and that George Bush will finally be gone. Just like with the election I'll be as far away from the TV / Computer / Radio as I possibly can. Hopefully, the madness and excitement will calm down and not be a distraction so he can start getting this country back on track asap.

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. We're missing 4th block, just so we can sit in the auditorium for 3 hours and watch the freaking thing.

Enough with this "change" crap. Of course he will bring change, but how do you know it will be good change?

I'm so sick of everyone putting all their eggs into one basket before the damned thing even hatches. I saw Obama Commemorative Coins about a month ago and I felt sick to my stomach. That's a bit too much faith too early.

Obama will either make or break this country for the next few years. Simple as that.

Obama flubs the Oath.

I dont blame him...looked nervous as heck.




I wonder how much the Media is going to tear him up over this...

To be honest, I expected a shot of the bible so that there was no question that it's what he swore on.

Looks like it wasnt Obama's fault afterall. CNN is saying John Roberts screwed up the words...and that froze Obama.

Now the question is how could the chief justice screw this up when all he had to study was a few sentences. wow.
