I didn’t have a problem with the race-baiting. If whites want to embrace rightwing values, that’s fine by me.

Here are the ground rules for a least the next four years:
1)Obama will never be wrong so he will never have to admit being wrong like was demanded of Bush. If you don’t belive it the NY Times and Wash.Post will back me up on this.
2)Too much critism of this president will get you tagged racist. This card will be played by the left for one simple reason…it works!

Sleep well.

The media's "job" of making an Obama presidency succeed has already started. They are already making excuses for his "somber" inaugurational address. Barack Obama's Inaugural Address: Humility, Gratitude, Sacrifice

That he was willing to sound so somber on his day of celebration tells us many things at once. At a time of scarcity, do not waste opportunities. When the world is watching and willing to follow, tell them where you want to take them. And above all tell the truth.

Are you freaking kidding me? Journalism in this country is over and has been replaced with a propoganda like "reporting" that is meant to do nothing but paint Obama in the best light possible. I guess they need that bailout so they are being kind to their future boss.

I’ll do my part. I’ll respect Barack Obama just as much as Mrs. Pelosi will.

I feel somewhat despondent. Obama is now my President, and out of respect for our Constitution, our nation, and the office, I salute him.

That doesn’t mean I have to agree with him. In fact, I’ll oppose his Socialist Liberal Policies with everything I have.

He made a factual error from the beginning when he said “Fourty four Americans have now taken the Presidential oath”. Grover Cleveland was the same American when he was elected before Harrison, and after Harrison!

I don’t feel lifted. I’m bummed. I can’t get past the shocking difference eight years make. So many “finally” love, respect and support our president of the United States. What about the last eight years? It’s mind boggling. However, I am very proud to be one of many who will never spew such hatred for President Obama as so many have toward President Bush.
