Crowds flock to National Mall for inaugural concert ("We Are One"
CNN ^ | Jan. 18, 2009 | CNN

Posted on 01/18/2009 12:28:56 PM PST by FocusNexus

Thousands were descending on the National Mall in Washington on Sunday afternoon, hours before a free inaugural concert boasting big stars.

It is President-elect Barack Obama's first full day back in the nation's capital. He spent the morning visiting Arlington National Cemetery and will later attend the "We are One: Opening Inaugural Celebration" at the Lincoln Memorial featuring performances by Beyonce, Sheryl Crow, John Legend, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, U2, will.i.am and Stevie Wonder.

Tears rolled down one woman's face as Obama spoke. "We love you, Obama!" someone yelled out.

"I love you back," Obama answered calmly, eliciting a roar from the crowd.

"You know the country is in the middle of a honeymoon when 6 in 10 Republicans have a positive view of Obama," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

"We are One"

"We think with one Brain"

"Our thoughts are pure and clean"

"We are the ones we've been waiting for"

"Heil, Messiah! Heil, Messiah! Heil, Messiah!"

I can’t wait to illegally download Springsteen’s new album later this month. He wants to believe in socialism let’s see him practice it.

Obama Announces “Organizing for America”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2166448/posts

“President-elect Barack Obama announced the formation of a new group known as “Organizing for America” that aims to continue the grassroots advocacy that the former Illinois Senator began in his presidential campaign.

“As President, I will need the help of all Americans to meet the challenges that lie ahead,” Obama said

The new group will work within the Democratic National Committee — led by Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine — to advance the Obama agenda.”

Ya really should have put a "barf alert", lol

In fact, I believe this would qualify for a Category 4 'Chunder Thunder' alert. I'm reserving Category 5 for the really scary stuff.

It’s a CNN poll. They wouldn’t know a Republican if one came up and knocked their teeth out.

We should start posting these threads in the Smoky Backroom so we don’t have to look at the headlines all week.

When Springsteen was at the Obama rally in Cleveland two days before the election (you know, the one where the media reported that there were 80,000 people, but weren’t), I hollard to old Brucie, “Hey, Bruce, spread the wealth!” :-)

"6 in 10 Republicans have a positive view of Obama"

Which I believe probably means that he doesn't appear to be quite as disastrous as they first thought he would be. The other 4 out of 10 Republicans demur on this.

Not only are they abusing our military making them appear on stage with these commies, but now they just abused a Bald Eagle. It had no say in the matter, they just dragged him out and displayed him!
