#1 The United States can't solve all the world's problems

Actually, we can. But the cure is a hell of a lot worse than the disease.

It would take about 18 hours to cure all the worlds problems. Including ours.

#2 They disappointed because Obama can't carry out the role they've assigned to him - lapdog to the world. We elected him president, not king.

#4 The Big O played the Hope and Change shuck and jive on the electorate, of whom, the LLL, mainstream dems, pi$$ed off trunks and pi$$ed off independents voted for him.

He cannot be everything to everyone, as he owes too many people too much across the political spectrum. Plus, IMHO, Prosecutor Fitzgerald knows a lot of what went on with Blago and co.

Because of the above all kinds of other convoluted sh*t, Hillary and co has machiavellied herself into the catbird seat, so the Big O is more of a figurehead than a real president.

And as everything goes further south, the Big O will be the Man who takes the fall. The Dems are in charge and so have the power to fix everything. So to speak. Enjoy Hope and Change---in the Twilight Zone.

#5 The leftards are already pissed off that the rich big $$ donors get to sit up front in a heated tent and drink free Krystal Champagne while the regular rubes have to freeze their arses off and buy cans of coke for $5 apiece, standing so far back that you can't see his halo.

#6 spot on AP.

Chairman Maobama is screwed. His ego + inexperience + clinton retread advisors + shrew of a 1st lady should make for an interesting 4 yrs.

#7 Wel-l-l, despite CNN attempt to show "happy faces" [Black-, Asians] IMO there wasn't that much applause or cheers after the Bam-Man gave his pre-inaugural speech yesterday in Washington, DC.

We'll see howzit today.

#10 Chris had credibility? He lost that a while ago.

Gonna be interesting to see how the Missus & Hillary interact. In public it will no doubt be all politeness.

#11 When he leaves office in 4 years the comparisons to Hoover will be resounding all over. This inauguration will be the death rattle of Rooseveltian liberalism and it will be in the ash can of history by then. What will succeed it, I do not know. But in 6 years, it will be hard to remember what 20th century liberalism was like.
