| Honeymoon ride ends soon for Barack Obama | |
| 2009-01-20 | |
| Lauren Beckham Falcone, Boston Herald An airheaded gossip columnist achieves the insight which most of the mighty op-ed solons of the august established media have yet to even approach... ...I can't help but wonder: are we Americans one big Bridezilla, focused on the wedding, and not on married life? Not to harsh your Barack Obama buzz, but after all the dresses are shipped to the Smithsonian and Bono jets back to Ireland and Malia and Sasha put up their Jonas Brothers posters, our new president is faced with one heck of an overflowing ashtray to empty: wars, stock market jitters, a recession, bailouts, Bernie Madoff fallout, Gaza, tax increases, unemployment.
And whose fault is it? Look in the mirror....Um, aren't we going all Disney princess on the man? Wake up, Sleeping Beauty. Barack Obama is just a man, not a fairy-tale concoction.... | |

| #10 Both Roberts and Obama fumbled it . . . just after Rick Warren asked for humility in the invocation. Just God having a little fun with 'em. |

| #9 Yeah cause that definitely needs to be spun, or it's the end of Obama. |

| #8 Yah, we've heard that's the spin that was ordered out onto the network of all the blackberries... |

| #7 The chief justice flubbed the words, not Obama. |

| #6 I have been listening to the ceremony on radio. If "HE" gets it right, I am a member of the loyal oppostion. If "HE" gets it wrong, I am a member of the Resistance. I'm listening. Correct me if I am wrong, but did The One just fuck up the simple oath of office? I think he did. Yes he did. What a bitch. No teleprompter for the oath. A simple oath. "HE" fucked it up. God help us. |

| #5 Something Rev. Rick Warren didn't say in his invocation: "Lord, temper our stupidity with luck." |

| #4 I wish the best for the man, since him making really crappy decisions will be bad for this country. Either way, I'm still watching him with wariness. |

| #3 I think she's the first commentator to put it into terms the Obamanauts can understand. Too bad it was after the election (not that most of them would have listened anyway). |

| #2 for the sake of my family and America, I wish him the best of luck. Other then that, I wouldn't walk across the street to piss in the dude's ear if his brain was on fire. |
