Obama gets inaugurated and the wolves come out
President Obama hasn't even begun to get used to being called by that name yet before the wolves strike. Check out this bit:
Obama & Chief Justice Flub Oath of Office
From the comments section of this piece, there are a lot of sour grapes. Some people need to see a psychiatrist about their anti-Obama obsession.
I guess we will hear long platitudes about how Obama can't speak without a teleprompter or how its symbolic of what his term of office will be from such places as Free Republic, Red State, One News Now, Michelle Malkin, and the usual people and places of right wing hysteria.
I don't care who flubbed the line. The fact that some people will most likely dwell on that portion of the inauguration says a lot about how the tone of discourse has been lowered in this country. This idea of picking an advantage, no matter how small or how petty is pathetic. Not only that, it is a slap in the face to the spirit of unity that we all should embrace at least for this one day.
McCain lost. Obama won. He is a full United States citizen who ran a brilliant campaign and won the office of the presidency fair and square.
I cringe to think that I can expect a lawsuit courtesy of World Net Daily, Janet Folger Porter, Alan Keyes, or some other fringe freak (I tried not name call but these people are getting on my nerves) claiming that since "Obama flubbed the oath, it renders him ineligible to serve as president."
Get over it people. Just get over it and enjoy the day.
Bush's arse isn't in Texas yet and these morons start in...
ReplyDeleteIt was Justice Roberts who flubbed the moment; Mr. Obama was waiting for him to correct his mistake.
OK, we can ask if Roberts was nervous, not having done this before.
Or, we can wonder if he set up the President to make him look like a dolt - a Harvard Law professor - but, you know, the average 'merikan hasn't read the Constitution, so who would know the difference. Um, they would be the ones in the white sheets.
Thanks for your diligence and insight.
Seems that those "average 'merikans" are just the kind of dolts that read Wing Nut Daily and One News Now.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately they eat that stuff up.
Very sad those folks are, sad.
Well if that's the worst thing that happened today...
ReplyDeleteYeah but you know Malkin, Limbaugh and company. What's not true can be manufactured. Not all conservatives and Republicans are like them. But they are bad enough.
