Inauguration of Barack Obama 2009

What an inspiring moment in American History and a repudiation of the politics of hate and fear in favor of hope and unity. Forty five years ago the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream and tomorrow that dream will come to life.

The inauguration is an American event where we will celebrate the peaceful transition of the president-elect becoming president. I believe Obama rallies America into a common purpose of making it economically stronger, and preserving and pursuing peace throughout the world.

Barack Obama seems to be the type of man who can unite the different factions of the populace. He is a kind of role model for young black men who feel like they can make it, now that they've seen someone else make it. His genius, his voice will be everywhere. Not only is he an educated man, he’s a “street person” who has a great ability to keep himself grounded. He's got all the background, and he is for change, which is something that needs to be done. Barack Obama projects an image and a persona that many people never see in the media, in textbooks, and sometimes in their own communities. So I think this is really going to make a powerful impact not only on African-Americans but the whole of a nation both young and old.

Im happy for him and even though I dont necessarily agree with all his opinions and plans, I do hope that the worst doesnt happen

I'm glad Obama won, but I am absolutely appalled by the Inauguration. It absolutely disgusts me in fact. Why? because its going to cost over a 100 million dollars!

You might think its not very much, but what ever happened to the economic crisis?!!?!?!? Its a huge deal, every states budget cut is being cut by a whole entire 1/3rd of what we needed...for example Utah (where I live) was supposed to get 750 million dollars this year, but now were expected to get less than 500 million!

now...think about it...a 100 million dollar fucking asshole of an inauguration!

I SAY FUCK IT!

He wants us to go out in style, baby.

This has got to be my favourite:

**dylanshmai** · 01-20-2009 11:48 PM

when I saw that shoe get thrown at the president, I was yelling "hit that son of a bitch!".

They translated what the reporter had said too (the guy who threw the shoe) and it goes to show how unhappy Iraqe's people are with George Bush (war criminal)

oh, and once again "FUCK THE INAUGURATION! ITS FUCKING YOU!"

**Dizko** · 01-20-2009 11:54 PM

:X

What a comedian, that Bush. I love him, and will miss him dearly.

Thats already been done, long before obama was even known.

The path to socialism was started by FDR, and continues on reguardless of the president.

Enough with the obama is a socialist jargon, even if mccain won we would continue on the path to socialism, so don't try to comfort us with lying conservatives who are socialists in disguise.

This inauguration was great, and I hope this man does great things, I disagree with him on a whole boatload of issues but, I would much rather have him as a president then some washed up wrinkled old fart with a short temper...or another godamn bush or clinton.

You misunderstood my post greatly. It wasn't a declaration or even a prediction of what is going to happen. It was just one of the many worst-case scenarios that might happen. Kind of like the Flying Spaghetti Monster returning to save us from the Flying Invisible Unicorn or discovering water on Mars.

I liked his speech, by the way. Watched it on youtube this morning. Kind of felt he was going to be the Antichrist halfway into it, though.

Totally agree! The world will recognize that there is a systemic under America's feet and this change will bring a new direction for world affairs. I've watched this inauguration and it was inspiring and rather some people like it or not it is "HISTORY" in the making. Nothing can change that. My favorite part was Rev. Lowery Speech.

Okay but, antichrist is a myth.

Ha my little crap town made such a big deal they postponed 5th and some of out 6th period classes to watch him be a nervous wreck today. they put up a big screen and everything. But i respect that man. he has balls

**Rainman** · 01-21-2009 06:55 AM

If anyone watched the broadcast on MSNBC, when Bush's helicopter took off, shortly after you could hear the crowd singing "Nah nah nah nah, Hey hey hey, good bye" in the background. It's quite hilarious. I imagine someone will put that on youtube, for those who didn't see it. Hilarious.

**WordOfHate** · 01-21-2009 06:58 AM

my favorite part was when the father started with the civil rights movement snippets. "The white will be alright, the brown will stick around, the yellow will be mellow, The red man will get ahead man" Then you just here people snickering.
