Oh, by the way... I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for

Apparently, executive orders are gonna come shooting out from the Administration ASAP. Including an executive order to shut down Guantanamo Bay.

I <3 my President. First time in my adult life that I've been able to say that!

[Lawr]

Most of my school day was spent watching the Inauguration. I liked his speech.

[Old Manus]

I'm just waiting for the youtube nutters to start making videos about how the oath cockup was actually them speaking in illuminati code and Obama's penis is shaped like a pentagram.

Yay PRESIDENT Obama!

To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.

I got shivers down my spine when he said that. Such powerful words.

That was a pretty awesome phrase. I also loved this:

because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself

[Miriel]

It's freaking me out every time Obama is getting out of the car along the parade route.

[Flying Mullet]

I also appreciated this part of the speech:

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- <b>and nonbelievers</b>.

It's odd to hear a president acknowledge all Americans after the last eight years.

Oh yeah I skipped class today in regards to this. They must be crazy! It's two feet of snow outside and public schools are canceled, but no college! why should I have to risk my net and miss the inauguration if my little brother gets to stay home!?

I watched it earlier today on several different stations and I found it touching. I enjoyed Aretha Franklin's performance, but that poet they had didn't even seem like a poet. It sounded like a speech and a dull one at that and if she wrote it then she wouldn't have to constantly look down at the paper. Oh man oh man we finally got a black family in the white house!

[Crimson]

Congrats Americans.



Heh, we've got a fat-ass who looks like a drunk for a Prime Minister, and you've got a multi-racial president, isnt the world becoming a funny place lately?

My grandparents offered to convince my parents to let me play hooky to watch, but it's such a pain in the ass to be absent from my school nowadays what with the retarded ways they try to prevent truancy. Plus it's the first day of the new semester, not a good day to miss :\

Maybe I'll watch it on the internet or something.

Obama talks a big game, time to see if he can put our money where his mouth is.
