I watched the inauguration and I came away with the feeling that we were crowning Messiah Obama to the throne of the U.S. I suspect that the attempts to remove the restraints of Constitutional limits placed upon the number of terms that one man can serve will gain foothold. Hugo and Fidel couldn’t be prouder!

Did anyone else get a shiver of premonition when the new Fuhrer was spluttering giving his speech on how much we owe and how irresponsible we are?
Amen on the Lowery comment Ilana.

Until Fascist Delano Roosevelt, we did not have religious invocations at these events. Washington approached the event with humility and Jefferson wanted to take even more pomp away from the inauguration. Nowadaws, it is the coronation of the Messiah and the media and the populus eat it up. They closed roads 12 miles from the White House! (hell, why not evacuate the whole country East of the Mississippi!). I asked my daughter if she wanted to watch the inauguration and parade on TV and she said no – a healthy attitude.

Just thinking 'aloud' here..Obama has a white mother, was raised by whites, but has a black father, so of course he's Black. Similarly with, say a Japanese, or a Jewish mother, he'd still be Black, because after all Jew or Asians are not real 'minorities'. But just imagine Obama's mother had been Hispanic. Just imagine the dilemma!

I wish I could hear just one MSM commentator say first black* American President. You would think there are no white people in Africa. I’m proud to live in a country where one group of people went from second class citizens to President in one generation.
*black as in short, tall, old or young.

I agree with you on the dress, Ilana. I think Michelle would have done better had the “Project Runway” crew been tasked to design her inaugural outfit. It seems to me that Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, etc., would have ripped this design to shreds, had it appeared on the runway.

Shouldn’t the markets be booming? With the Obamanation finally in power we’re seeing change. The powers that be, regardless of party affiliation, have done everything possible to prevent what’s coming in the markets… and it’s coming very fast. It’s a televised train wreck, not only in Hidef, but also in 3D. Can anyone imagine how Nero’s MSM would have covered him as Rome burned?

I can’t bear to watch.

Thanks, Ilana for the turn of phrase.

Sodom on the Potomac.

That’s what I call my dystopian hometown of Washington, D.C.
