Well, also, the media was doing the same thing with Nixon. He promised to get out of Vietnam...

FDR was a democrat

I was just amazed earlier this year how noone had any other excuse against mccain except "he's old" in my grade (9th)

@shin

look at congress's approval rating, from 2004-08 they blocked all of bush's proposals with a democrat wall of reject everything he does

Just wanted to clarify: This thread is going to be the official Obama/inauguration thread. There are way to many circulating around, so to condense them the others will be locked and everyone is encouraged to continue the discussions HERE.

Please continue =)

I was about to make a thread specifically about talking about the inauguration in either one of the two bigger threads, but I was reluctant on doing so. XD

Did anyone have friends/family that actually went? I couldn't stand going there with another hundred thousand people... and on such a cold day too!

Well look at this!

His first day in office and he signed papers freezing salaries to increase budget, made phone calls to stop the war in Gaza and is for peace!

Might not sound alot but once you think about it, it is.

He also passed the order to close Gitmo.

Clarify: He is only closing the prison not the whole base.

Phone calls. Big whup. Plus, the battle In Gaza ended 2 days ago :P

But, what i do agree with is freezing the salaries.

Just watch, once he starts to try and push FOCA forward then you are going to have a lot of people with a lot of problems, including me.

So, basically the crowd that already hates the guy, despite having done no damage or good so far?

Well it's wonderful, watching the Inauguration in the morning at School was delightful. Wasted time and had no homework, crap I remember I had homework but still he could do very well and maybe change the history and style of Americans. Or maybe could be assassinated for his color and not his heart.,

Pretty much. But then you are going to even have some Obama crazy demmies who are against abortion start to get annoyed. Tere are a few of them :P

Kind of like how he was elected for his color and not his ideas.

Ok I hate the idea that he made history by the color of his skin he isn't even 100% African American! I think that if he drives this country to the ground they won't be elect African Americans anymore.
