Okay, people. Today is the first day of the Obamanation, God help us all.
So Obama's been inagurated and had his big day. Hey, what the hell, he earned it right?
In case you're wondering what I thought of the inaguration and all the pomp and circumstance thereof, all I can say is I tuned out.
Sorry, Obama, I had better things to do.
Baracky's made his first pronouncement as the Prez, and during his proclamation, he had this to say:
"As I take the sacred oath of the highest office in the land, I am humbled by the responsibility placed upon my shoulders, renewed by the courage and decency of the American people, and fortified by my faith in an awesome God."
Not a bad start, there, Barry. We are a courageous and decent people, and God is truly awesome. Not sure how you would know that, though.
"We are in the midst of a season of trial. Our Nation is being tested, and our people know great uncertainty."
Excuse me?? Uncertainty?? Perish the thought!! I know who I am, what I believe in, and what we need to do as Americans. One of those necessities is working hard and fighting to make sure your posterior doesn't get elected again.
"Yet the story of America is one of renewal in the face of adversity, reconciliation in a time of discord, and we know that there is a purpose for everything under heaven."
You got it, Baracky old boy. There is a purpose for everything, and your purpose is to bring clarity to America, to pull the blinders off the American people, so that we can see how morally bankrupt your philosophy and that of your political party has become. With clear vision on our part, you and your party will be given the bum's rush in 2012.
"On this Inauguration Day, we are reminded that we are heirs to over two centuries of American democracy, and that this legacy is not simply a birthright -- it is a glorious burden. Now it falls to us to come together as a people to carry it forward once more."
Yeah, yeah...sounds nice. Next!!
"So in the words of President Abraham Lincoln, let us remember that: "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
Argh! I knew you couldn't get through a speech, even one this short, without making a reference to Honest Abe. Let me tell you buddy, you're no Abraham Lincoln. You have a long ways to go and many deeds to accomplish before you can consider yourself worthy enough to make that comparison. Secondly, the mark of a truly great and humble person is to not make those kinds of declarations yourself. It lays to others to say great things about you, lest you wish to be acknowledged as the narcissist that you are. Get over yourself already.
"NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 20, 2009, a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, and call upon all of our citizens to serve one another and the common purpose of remaking this Nation for our new century."
Whoa, dude. I think I can speak for many people when I say America is a great place, and just fine as it is already. We have a great history and some great traditions and beliefs and they don't need to be monkeyed with by a two bit hack who wants to recreate our grand homeland according to his asinine vision.
Well, people, that's it for today. Tune in tomorrow for some more notes for the Obamacalypse!
