    I thought that was a interesting comparison.



     

    wow ..... Lol i didnt realize they had that much security there. Although i can see why they would have extra security, since he his black, and he is the leader of the U.S. So not only does he have terrorists targeting him, but also white supremists.

    Boy or boy I'm going not going to point the gun at nobody in here, because half of you are bitchin about something that dosen't matter, some of you don't know the facts, and some are bring up old stuff. New president right now. Can we all just be happy it's not Bush? My parents will be at the Inauguration so I can't wait to see the pictures there. I wonder if any good looking girls will be there though.

    If you calculate the number of people that's going to be there, it's more of the safety of others too. I can't say that it's like a big concert. White supremist...they do more than talk now? Nah they are not a worry I don't think. Even whites would be mad, I actually do expect more whites to be there than blacks though. A wild guess.

    they better have cops that can fly and stop suicide planes!

     

    Oh and yes, i know, as a republican and a citizen i know bush sucked. But what makes you think that obama wont suck any more than Bush did.? Because he says hes gonna CHANGE america? because he smiles and relates to the average person?

       Well good luck with that.

    The inauguration "events" are on HBO right now.  I walked through the room and my girlfriend was watching them.

    Does anyone else find it to be something of a weird thing?  I am not understanding this event at all.  It looks more like a propaganda piece.  I mean, since when do I need Tom Hanks to teach me about history along with an onslaught of self centered celebrities and lulling idiot music stars?

    This is just danged weird.  It almost seemed like hypnotic suggestion was the goal.  Maybe something along the lines of a Russian event except with movie stars and current pop music goofs.  I guess with the shallowness of people these days and their icon worship it would make sense if you want to sway the masses.

    I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come.  Obamalot.  I really prefer my President to speak little but make what he says kick ass.  Modesty is key to my approval.  Not a huge gala event like what is going on.

    Take those private donations and pump them into the economy.  There are people genuinely hurting right now and we're having our taxes stolen and funneled into saving banks that could care less about the people.  And I'm supposed to just be happy because someone sang me a song at the inauguration????

    Oh of course you're suppose to be happy that someone sang you a damn song at the inauguration! This is America!!..  pfft.

    You're absolutely correct on the aspect of how to sway the masses, couple celebs, pop star sings, and we got ourselves a party, just wait till Lindsay Lohan realizes shes not invited.. Whoa boy! They're gunna need those 40k cops.

    Its propaganda to tell the world that the U.S has changed.

    It has been changing for quite a few decades now.  And not for the better.

    American Idol...that's what everything in this country has become, it's all a popularity contest.

    That said hopefully he does better then what we had and he focuses more on the U.S. then other areas, we need to save ourselves before we can save others.
