🜲 PoLiX Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Probably my favorite quote of the day. It is weird. Just can't help but have this feeling of relief? joy? (this damn cold?, ha) I dunno. Watching this going on kind of get this weird feeling watching all of this, all the people. This is history, wheter you like it or not. A good or bad future, who knows what is coming, but history will be/has been made. SSForum.net - September 01, 2002 - Rowen (SSDownloads.Com), PoLiX (SSCentral.Com), and Cyberise (Subspace.Net)

🜲 PoLiX Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 Hopefully the media can eventually look past the whole racial aspect of this, and realize that people are there celebrating change just as much. As one person put it "I can't remember a time in my life when there was so much support and love for our choice for president". He's got our eyes, ears, hearts, and full support. Now he needs to make the changes happen. SSForum.net - September 01, 2002 - Rowen (SSDownloads.Com), PoLiX (SSCentral.Com), and Cyberise (Subspace.Net)
FMBI Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) I watched it with one eye from 11 to ~5ish, and it was pretty damn impressive. Also, it's nice to see that, after all the millions spent on boosted security, nobody tried to take a potshot at him.  As for the Official Inauguration Ceremonies Themselves (as opposed to the luncheon, the ride, and the parade): I thought his speech sucked. Sure, it "hit all the themes," but speeches like that always manage to sound hollow and forced out. Plus, it kinda bounced from one issue to the next, without really offering a general transition model. I've written better-flowing speeches myself. The girls were cute as always (and no, not in that way, sickos).  His wife was beautiful, though the gloves were awful. I choked (literally) laughing when I saw Cheney being wheeled around. It was just so utterly appropriate, because, as someone I watched it with said, "He looks just like Mr. Potter from 'It's a Wonderful Life!'" Especially the part where he was at the bottom of the steps, and the Obamas and Bidens were standing above him, waving down - and as soon as they hauled him into the limo and drove him away, everyone on the steps started laughing. It was hard to avoid the impression they were making jokes at his expense. And I thought Bush was gracious, though he looked very close to crying from the time he walked out of the Capitol to the time he got on the helicopter.   So that was fun.  edit - clarified one point.

darkreb0rn Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 A group along with me skipped class to watch it in the library. We had people standing on tables and everything to see it. It was pretty good, I actually got goosebumps while he was talking for some reason.
🜲 PoLiX Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 Because we've gone through too many years of hell with our old Congress and President (not saying they caused all of it, we're just there), and we all finally see some sort of hope with the new?

I thought that might happen aswell, but if it was gonna happen im sure it would of happened there.

FMBI Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 He's already gotten threats on many occasions, and they actually stopped a plot during the campaign. But with all the insane protection they're giving him, nothing short of a nuclear attack (literally) could take him out, unless a foreign country conspires to kill him when he visits.

He's already done the right thing on guantanemo that was said to be "impossible" Not sure which way this site swings in terms of bias but its pretty cool.http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/pr...s/promise-kept/ Rediscover online gaming.
