PRESIDENT Obama

We have a new Commander in Chief. Bush is really gone. Goodbye, thanks for nothing, don't let the door hit you on the way out, and good riddance. Bush played gracious for weeks, I'm sure even he got tired of it. And now he's gone.

I find it a bit funny that Obama flubbed his lines in the actual swearing in. It looked like either he was terrified (understandable) or he hadn't rehearsed with John Roberts. Obama's not a real spontaneous kind of guy, so I'm assuming he was just scared. Fine.

Anyway, I did watch a fair bit of the day's ceremonies. Not really my cup of tea, a big old parade and all. Watching Bush fly away in the helicopter was just about as satisfying really as watching Obama take the oath of office.

Now the hard part begins. Israel-Gaza, big stimulus package, enormous money needed to save the banking system again (more on that in a post coming up), an economy deep in recession, a health care system hugely in need of root and branch reform, Afghanistan heading south, a broken immigration system. Bush left the country far, far worse than he found it, and Obama has the most full in-box since WW II, by a lot. But you all know this already.

Today is ceremony day. And it was quite a show! And we swore in the 44th President.

OH-BA-MA!! OH-BA-MA!! OH-BA-MA!

From Larry in California

Obama is an elitist, pretentious,
far left liberal democrat, not qualified to be President.

Let's revote the election and select:

President Fred Thompson

Vice Pres. Sean Hanniry

Sec. State. Pat Buchanan

Sec. Defense Ann Coulter

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
