Thoughts On the Inaugeration

[adoptedbyachicken]

I am sorry but I see this reference to his race as a serious problem, it is clear by these very posts that he was voted for on a platform of color. This is so wrong in every aspect. It is wrong just for the fact that it means that the only reason some did not vote for McCain WAS because he was white. It is a blemish on us just as much as slavery was. JMHO

Oh, what's that I see in my crystal ball? Appears to be made of brass.

Be very careful here....​

I haven't ever seen this much hoopla either but I doubt it is his (Obama's) choice. Events are just pulling him along.

I guess then the same could be said for President Bush.

Here are my thoughts about the Inauguration and the hoopla:

There are already schools and streets being named after him. Not to mention all the merchandise I see in the stores. Obama prints, coins, bobble-heads, etc. He is going to single-handedly turn this country around and save us all...

I dissagree. I did not vote for Obama, I did not think him the right man for the job. As the elected president I will support him as a citizen and a veteran. My second grade grandaughter whose father happens to be an African American is very excited to have a black president. She thinks EVERYONE should vote for him. Who am I to argue with her?

This country is in for the biggest letdown of the last century, I'm afraid. They elected a complete unknown out of desperation and Moses he aint. (someone stupid actually said that he was their Moses, a bit of a ridiculous comparison)
I so sick of all the "gushing" over this man, who wont be good for the military or for the small farmers of this country, IMO. So, I'm very sad about this presidential choice and it has nothing to do with race/skin color. No matter what he does, they've set themselves up with a sick case of hero worship, undeserved by their hero, and wont see what's in front of them till its way too late. No one can fix this country in 4 years. He'll waste tons of time undoing what the last president did, just like always happens.

C'mon! His race can't be overlooked. It is why this is such a historic day.

Comparing this to slavery? Lets not go there.

The response to my thread has been fantastic! No matter what your response has been I thank you. It only shows how involved in this everyone is.
