It was an omen confirmed by, "A nation of Christians and Muslims . . . and Non-Believers"

My friend, you should be writing covers for the new york post.
I am not buying what Obama is selling (if he ever tells us exactly what it is), but the death of this nation won’t be caused by the likes of puny Obama. We are much stronger than that. He may hurt us, but he can’t kill us. I understand your concern, but I can’t go along with the hyperbole.
My hope is that Obama implodes. It will be fun watching him try to vote “Present” in the coming four years.
>>Obamas tone today was gloomy and foreboding...<<
Hmm. Sounds like Bush finally let him in on what is REALLY going on in the world.
This is from AMERICA, the Jesuit magazine. They would be disappointed in 0bama’s speech. He didn’t scream “Kill More Babies!” at intervals during the speech, did he? This would cause AMERICA’s editors to have severe reservations about 0bama’s commitment to Social Justice.
Failed speech.
Market sinks.
Obama’s fault.
No more hope? No more whipping the rock star crowds into a frenzy with “Yes We Can”?
The Obama adorers will find out just how much reality sucks. The speech is just the beginning of their disillusionment with this man. I predict that by next week the economy won’t have recovered, the earth will not have started cooling (as if it needed to) and Hamas and Israel will not be singing Kumbaya together, also Christopher Reeves will not have risen up and walked again due to an embryonic stem cell transplant What a suprise!
As far as memorable speeches go “An angel in the whirlwind” still comes to my mind.
Thats very haiku like...a much better poem than the ramblings of that poet at the inaugeration. I like it.
I can't think of a more appropriate word for Obama.
Only if good men and women do nothing. If we stand up, If we do everything we can to fight back against what we know in our heart is wrong, we can and will prevail.
I LOVE Celtic woman! Nothing could have been more therapeutic today. /off-topic
He is not the Wizard the MSM has manipulated the public into believing. The MSM only knows the money generated from Political Commercials pays their salaries.
That was because Bush was elected that year, right?
"Could not he who said 'Yes, we can!' have caused that this man should not have died?"
Is resurrecting the dead above his pay grade? 9 out of 10 Obama supporters don’t think so.
Actually it was both. First Roberts misplaced "faithfully", then when Obama hesitated, Robertes restated correctly. Obama then said it the way Roberts said it the first time.
Unfortunately I think the "formal" oath is just that, the formal oath, and the oath may have been sworn earlier, perhaps just on paper. If not, we have a problem, and had another. First, we had no President, not even a poser, for some period, as the taking of the oath occurred somewhat after noon, when President Bush's term ended. Fortunately nothing happened to require the President's action during that period. Secondly the oath is the only thing in the Constitution in quotes, it must be sworn as written. It wasn't. So, technically, and Constitutionally, if the oath was not sworn before the formal ceremony, even a written oath would be OK, we still don't have a President or a poser, since swearing of the oath, as written, is commanded by the Constitution (Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he *shall* take the following oath".) (members of the military both swear an oral oath and sign a written oath, (for officers these are: AF Form 133, DA Form 71, NAVCRUIT 1000/20) but I don't know if the President does or not.)
