Now, let's take a closer look into this statement. Let's read between
those lines also. Honesty (I have NEVER heard a liberal tell the truth), courage
(to bring back our troops ASAP, so that they can still kill off themself faster
and destroy the oil feelds) and fair play (blocking what the majority in the US
Senate of Republicans want), tolerance (same sex marriage and abortion on
demand)and curiosity (on where's our checks as promised, and how soon will
the liberal's toss us into another Great Depression, and when will the New
World Order start up, plus how soon will our retirement be totaly lost for good
and when will the Market really crash for good) , loyalty (to the socialist
utopian system) and patriotism (to the flags of other third world countries that
believe in true socialism) that have never been the bedrock of America's
success, President Barack H. Obama declared (in a whisper mode under his
breath). Both before and after Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th U.S.
president by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in front of the Capitol in
Washington DC.

Ready to:
1. tax
2. spend
3. blow your tax money on a failed (erroneously named) "bailout" package
4. implement socialist policy
5. continue to support failed union policy at the expense of tax payers
Barack will lead this country into long term financial doom.

Bro Chuck's Rant n Rave | 10:29 a.m. Jan. 21, 2009
I really don't think Prez Obama is ready to lead anything. The American
people and the players in the region are going to know that we are serious about
dealing with the Middle East, dealing with Iran, dealing with Afghanistan and
Pakistan on the diplomatic front and not just on the military front. Does Obama
really believe that Afghanistan and Pakistan, if not Iran, haven't been
dealt with successfully on the diplomatic front?. Barack Obama was elected
promising change, and a new direction in both domestic and foreign policies. Yes
it's true, they say, "a picture is worth 1,000 words", right?.
Then let's be politically correct here, President Obama (with a Muslim
name) is not the first African-American in The White House, that's a lie,
let's tell the truth here. Biologically: white parent and black parent =
bi-racial. But really, the biracial community is a group unto itself and should
be defined as such by those who are biracial and no one else. Personaly, I
don't believe he knows what box to check, nor how to slove the
problem's in the middle east either.

Re: Sincerely hope; the stumble belongs to Justice Roberts, who administered the
oath of office; he got the order of the words mixed up. President Obama noticed
and the pause gave Roberts time to correct his mistake.
Re: Bro Upchuck; You have read your own interpretation to the speech given by Pres. Obama. Did you listen at all or were you too busy getting your dander up? Come on folks let�s work together to improve our country. Put the negative stuff away. Do your part to make this a better country. By the by; Barack is not a Muslim name; it is an African name. It might surprise you to know that the name appears in the biblical story of the prophetess Deborah.

I totally agree with that.

As a single white male who has had his wealth redistributed for years to educate
the children of Utah's conservative voters, I'm sick of the whining of
people who for the most part have NEVER paid their own way! Yah Obama's a
socialist. Bush is a socialist. Our goofy legislature is socialist and most the
clowns on this blog are socialist.
@1:20 | 2:18 p.m. Jan. 21, 2009
Love the "its time to play nice from the leftists in this country." 8
years of vitriol and divisiveness, now its time to "put negative stuff
away." It must be nice making the rules society plays by. Must be nice
playing god!
Regarding Obama: Of course he is not ready to lead, because he's no leader! Look at his votes in his short tenure in the senate. (luke warm) not willing to take a stand.
Personally, I think he has no gravitas!

Bro Chuck: You are a sad, small, angry little person. Fortunately for you, we
'liberals' allow you to be who you think you are. There is no reason
for such negativity. Its a new day - try and enjoy it. I know I will.....
Ready for Prime Time | 2:40 p.m. Jan. 21, 2009
I agree with those who want to see our new President succeed. However two keys
to success will be for him to distance himself from wealth redistribution
programs and listening to his own far left extremist party leaders in
Congress.
Clearly the most shame and disgrace earned by any entity leading up to this election lies with the biased liberal media. Not that Obama isn't or wasn't qualified....we never got a balanced, unbiased perspective of Obama, his qualifications, his experience, his associations and his past. What we got was slanted coverage of McCain/Palin and silk glove treatment of Obama/Biden.
The citizens of this country deserve better than biased propaganda.
The liberal media has cheapened the concept of a "free press" in this country. Their refusal to act as a form of "checks and balances" for the people is a disgrace that will be critically judged by history.
The liberal media in this country will never be ready for prime time.

Talk about bitterness. You must have been a Palin supporter. Don't worry
you will get another shot at destroying the country for self-greed come 2012.
For now, lets try to work together and make sure there is still a country left
for you to destroy. Deal? :-D
RE: stillinut84651 | 3:15 p.m. Jan. 21, 2009
How typically liberal! Always blaming someone else.
Obama supposedly memorized the oath and still could not say it.
But let's blame some else, and if they are a conservative, a religious person, or a republican, then even better.

Re: 12:41 pm & 2:31 pm
Thank you for your kind liberal thought's. And, thank God President BHO did not get that job through afirmative action and quotas in the work place to. I HAD A DREAM also, that Dream was Sarah Palin / McCain 2008. I guess I will now wait till 2012 for that dream to come true. Ironies true conservatives like myself noted during the Obama love-fest on TV. Animal Planet was poorly represented at Inauguration, at least by its living inhabitants. Liberals may be pro-PETA, but when the temperature drops, so does their commitment to protecting Mother Earth and her furry friends. One of our sources walking in the Inauguration crowds yesterday counted over two hundred fur coats within eight blocks. Phase 1 of the Economic Stimulus Plan was enacted: feed the public Obama memorabilia (not sold at Wal Mart). And, finally, as cold as it was for the Inaugural, wouldn't our new dearly belobed president have been wise to wear ear warmers?. Maybe he was a little too hopeful on the global warming schedule. Everything I say and do is the truth. If truth hurts - to bad.

Tom Daschel | 3:42 p.m. Jan. 21, 2009
On 'Frontline' they interviewed Tom Daschel on how he helped Pres.
Obama decide to run for President.
Summarizing: '... I told him to run before too long in the Senate, since he won't have to explain his voting record!" ... now we know who helped start all the 'Present' votes.
At least now he can't just vote present.

"Ready to lead?" What part of his past experience could possibly lead
to that conclusion? Obama is the least qualified President ever elected!
Good public speaking does not a good leader make.
But I am ready and willing to be impressed.
Or disappointed.

Clodius | 7:33 a.m. Jan. 24, 2009
"Ready to dictate - Obama's first 100 days" So far, he's
proven more than willing to push thru his agenda, I'll give him that. Too
bad it's catastrophic to the next generation of Americans. Oh well, as
historians say, "Easy come, easy go." May be the country that rises
from out ash after the next dark age will be wiser than us.

The guy is a feckless, untalented upstart with a big mouth.
As he stated, he won. He won all the marbles. Now he and his Democrat friends Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and all the rest of the thieving Democrat in Congress can rob the treasury of all our (remaining) tax dollars. And what money we don't now have for them to gobble up they will pass the bill to following generations.
The Dems have hit the jackpot!!

Well, I'd say you can travel to Muslim dominated countries, where terrorists dominate, with no trepidation. Terrorists and terrorist countries love and adore your president.

Isn't sad when you read the comments:negative, hateful words, thougths and
commentaries. Instead I wished that people whould say, whether I am for or
against the new elected president. Let's pray that he will have the
strength, wisdom and knowledge to lead this great country. That he will listen,
that he will be humble and yet strong to make difficult decisions. There are
problems that need to be faced and addressed. There is poverty, health insurance
is awful, there needs to be a better system, children have a right to good
education. We pay taxes and in return the government needs to help and be there
for her citizens who have worked hard and faithfully. It is a two way street.
Let's all do our part, starting between the four walls of our home. I pray
that Obama will be just and fair, and strong, keep America's wellbeing at
focus.

Obama is the chosen one. Joe Biden is Emperor Palpatine, Harry Reid is Count
Dooku,
Hillary Clinton is Jar-Jar-Binx and
Rosie O'Donnel is Jabba the Hutt.
There is danger in the air!

Even with the Bush inspired economic and foreign policy debacles hanging over
our heads, it is very nice to once again have adult supervision of our great
country.

I've been redistributed too. Being a liberal veteran, I felt taking my hard earned money to educate Americans was part of my duty as an American.
Conservatism is a religion. I'm against the assault rifle law. The first thing I do when I vote is to vote against more spending. Pay the bills first, then, we can see about buying new things.
I love being a liberal because I don't, like soviets of the past, have to follow a pragmatic party line. Their is no liberal equal to being a RINO. Freedom isn't marching to the same cadence as all the other followers, as orders are yelled out by your glorious leaders.
I voted for Obama, not because Obama was messianic but, because republicans had no new ideas. I saw them lead America into a new Great Depression. Reading the article about Palin in Vanity Fair, I thank god Obama was elected.
