The Peaceful Transition of Power

Check out the White House website.

I am not at all happy with this.

“Expand hate crime statutes”? Why not just punish the crime rather than thoughts that motivate?

Repeal Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell: President Obama agrees with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Shalikashvili and other military experts that we need to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve. Discrimination should be prohibited. The U.S. government has spent millions of dollars replacing troops kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation. Additionally, more than 300 language experts have been fired under this policy, including more than 50 who are fluent in Arabic. The President will work with military leaders to repeal the current policy and ensure it helps accomplish our national defense goals.

CJ expresses the problem with this, very well.

Wow… so it is done and it begins anew.

The inauguration was TODAY?!? I watched the replay of the Florida-Oklahoma National Championship football game on cable. That was MUCH MORE interesting.

Aye (#1) – Heh. Look at those smiles. George knows what happens next.

Yes, GWB and Laura heading home to the Promised Land, Texas.

Maybe Wordsmith was being sarcastic. What he really meant was GOOD LUCK considering how hamstrung Obama will be by the idiots and hatemongers in his own party who attended his swearing in ceremony at the Capitol and yet behaved like such total asswipes by booing President Bush when he walked onto the platform.

These people are so soaked in hate they can’t even be half way gracious on a day when they are supposed to be happy.

What happens when the three day drinking binge they have been on wears off and they realize once and for all that Obama lied to them about getting out of Iraq in 16 months and a host of other broken promises?

Obama will need more than luck. But since he’s surrounded by secularists who place man above God he won’t be able to resort to the almighty.

He’s on his own!

Good luck indeed.

I’m sure he was relieved to not be responsible for cleaning up the mess he has left behind. It’s a good day for our country and now I wait to rejoice in the impeachment of my governor (although I didn’t vote for him).

Over the coming weeks I’m sure we’ll debate the steps the Obama administration is taking. But if the response to Rick Warren tells us anything, it says that Liberals will push back if we feel he is going down the wrong path… unlike conservatives that allowed Bush to do as he pleased, Obama will not have the luxury with us.

James: Have you learned NOTHING from the gracious example that President and Mrs. Bush set by their conduct and demeanor in office?

Next time you complain about how someone on the right disprespects Obama just remember that you reap what you sow.

blast, there is a huge difference between Obama *personal* success, and success for the nation. If he were to implement all he desires in social welfare, affirmative action, energy and schooling, Obama is *successful* in fulfilling his campaign promises. But the nation loses.

Two different critters, guy. It’s about leadership of a nation and it’s health and prosperity for the future. Not “success” on a campaign shopping list. So it’s not so easy as to say the “opposite is unsuccessful”. And I’m sure, if an ultra conservative were elected who was about to implement everything you opposed for the good of the nation, you’d get the idea.

Remember the 2001 inauguration!

Screw them.

mata: And I’m sure, if an ultra conservative were elected who was about to implement everything you opposed for the good of the nation, you’d get the idea.

Actually if we ever have a conservative elected… be sure to let me know since we have not had one in ages.

blast: Actually if we ever have a conservative elected… be sure to let me know since we have not had one in ages.

Not one peep of an argument there from me, blast….

Nice post. But looking at the comments – I thought you guys were going to wait until the day after before the renewal of attacks. Shame the spirit of bipartisanship gets soaked by sour grapes. But still – because some moonbats act like idiots on Bush’s inauguration then that makes it okay I guess.

@GaffaUK:

I’ve reviewed the post and the comments.

To what attacks are you referring?

Thank You, President George W. Bush, Thank you for keeping us safe. Thank you for being a wonderful and caring person. Thank you for staying strong. Thank you. Thank you a million times, Thank you. You will be remember as a Great President.

This was a very gracious post, Wordsmith. Thank you.

From the Canadian Free Press comes the truth & consequences of the new BOPAC Administration:

The Bread and Circuses Presidency
http://zachjonesishome.wordpress.com/

By Daniel Greenfield Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Call it the Bread and Circuses Presidency, or better yet the Bailouts and Reality TV Presidency. Forget expecting results or ethics from the occupant of the White House. Just join an organization or a cause and stick your hand out for your share of of misappropriated taxpayer money, and get ready to vote online for which puppy the Obamas should adopt.

… iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat, panem et circenses.
(Juvenal, Satire 10.77–81)
… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses

So America continues the transition from a citizenry to a people, that waits for government handouts and the comforts of a monarchy as spectacle, broadcast simultaneously on all channels. While Obama preps a cabinet slate, half of whom belong in jail, the media continues applauding loudly to drown out any criticism. And the public watches with glazed eyes.

The millions who will trudge to watch this “historic” triumph of style over substance, dishonest criminality over ethics, and anti-americanism over American, will get exactly what they expect. A $150,000,000 coronation for the Prince of Chicago, a lavish subversion of American democracy splashed across every television and website.

When Rome moved from Republic to Empire, the corrupt decadent Emperors understood what the mob wanted. As Obama’s backers work to make America a post-Democratic post-Republic ogilarchy, they’re doing it with Bread and Circuses.

The ObamaGirl Revolution (TM) will be brought to you by Pepsi (TM) and Jones Soda (TM). Now stay tuned for a news report on a letter by Obama’s flacks supposedly written to his children, yet broadcast to all of America. Feel free to buy some Frito chips, the official chip of the Obama inauguration. And now breaking news, a special interview with the Obama’s new dog. Switch to another channel to see all the movie stars getting their moment too. Welcome to the Fall of the Republic, brought to you by Pepsi.

Never mind that a Muslim Brotherhood proxy will be delivering a prayer at Obama’s inaguration, which means that Al Queda and Hamas will have a place of honor at the event. Keep your eyes on the celebrities and the concerts.

The War on Terror conducted officially by the American government is over, and this time instead of four planes, America itself has been hijacked. The lead hijacker, the 21st hijacker, will shortly place his hand on a Bible, and swear to defend a country he was not born in and overtly despises. And he will try to keep a straight face while doing it, and perhaps show enough restraint not to scratch himself with his middle finger or grab his crotch during the ceremony.

After the last month of outreach, there will no doubt be conservatives that will report approvingly on this. Though what exactly they will be conserving besides their own mainstream relevance, New York Times and Washington Post columns is unclear. When the mob gets big enough, many feel compelled to march with the mob. That is their choice and a matter for their own consciences…Continue Reading

I wonder if the Media understands that they are also making fools of themselves by humping BOPAC?

“While Obama preps a cabinet slate, half of whom belong in jail, the media continues applauding loudly to drown out any criticism”

You guys in the Media need to come clean about Obama’s lack of eligibility, corruption, Larry Sinclair, Rezko, Ayers, Socialism, Anti-Semitism, Berg v Obama, Lightfoot v Bowen, etc. No wonder all your viewers and readers leaving you!
