For all those out in pain or screaming in orgasm over the inauguration. Just keep this in mind. It doesn’t matter. No matter what good Obama does the Republicans will hate him. No matter what wrongs Obama does the Democrats will praise him. History judges all leaders but luckily all you have to do is find the historian who agrees with you.
Everyone relax and enjoy the ceremony. It a peaceful exchange of power and a chance to wave the flag. After that nothing new to see or hear.
Pres. Bush 41 salutes the guard and pats him on the butt when he comes in, Pres. Clinton walks by the guard like he is invisible.
Obama muffs the oath! Not a good sign -even Bush did that well
you are most wise, but there is the additional element that folks from all over are yearning for leadership and maybe, just maybe.
With Bush/Cheney we thought we were on to something, but they were in way over their heads (or perhaps history will determine them to be dicks)
Right now we have enormous challenges ahead and I’m glad Bush/Cheney are out and Obama/Biden are taking over - - but ask me again in 6 months.

Wow, I bet he wishes he could get a do-over on that one!
Wow…miffed the oath.
Is that akin to the champagne bottle not breaking on the bow as a new ship is commsioned?
I hope not.
“Right now we have enormous challenges ahead and I’m glad Bush/Cheney are out and Obama/Biden are taking over -”
I want to agree with that but keep in mind that the Democrats did nothing. Now they are in office with a history of doing nothing.
"but ask me again in 6 months. "
I would love at any point to come back and I say I was wrong. Please let me be wrong.
***Obama muffs the oath! Not a good sign -even Bush did that well ***
Great. Bush gets the oath right, and then proceeds to do everything else poorly.
Not a very impressive speech by Obama. Quite political and not very motivating.
"Bush gets the oath right, and then proceeds to do everything else poorly. "
Don’t forget the Democrats. This is not a monarchy.
Maybe, but he got the oath right. He’s got that going for him, which is nice.
That was ugly.
Don’t forget the Democrats. This is not a monarchy.
Just pointing out the absurdity of the idea that muffing the oath of office (or getting it perfectly right) is somehow foretelling of the “success” of a presidential administration. Gammy Pelosi and her bevy of blundering idiots get their share of the blame as well.

Steve, I was joking. I need to find some humor in this day. Sorry.
Maybe, but he got the oath right.
Yeah. I’m surprised he didn’t mention it in his farewell speech. It was one of the few successes of his administration.
I’m so thrilled my testicals have ascended 
Now where’s my damn check?
Steve, I was joking. I need to find some humor in this day. Sorry.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell in the Lavendar room. I should know by now that most times, YOU are joking. I kinda figured it out with your follow-up homage to Caddyshack.

The big let down has begun .
No check for you!
