I just sat up all night to watch the Barak Obama Inauguration.

What a wonderful spectacle that was. To see so many black and white people side by side, celebrating this historic event brought me to tears. I want to congratulate all Americans for coming of age in electing your first black President. I never thought I would live to see the day and I am so thrilled to have witnessed such an occasion. It shows that America has become more enlightened and by majority has decided to put one of the worst human traits ‘racism’ behind them.

What an incredible, inaugural speech! You have chosen well your new President America. He is young, ambitious, very intelligent, eloquent, ntm very handsome hehe and I believe, if given due chance, he will make a great leader. So once again, congratulations!

And best of Luck

There's no challenge in hunting moose with a scoped, high-powered rifle, from the comfort of a heated helicopter.
If your weapon-of-choice were... say... a sharpened stick, I'd say moose would be a challenge.
But then, I'd hesitate to trust Ms. Palin with a sharpened stick (much-less things like Nuclear Launch Codes... which is why I voted as I did).

It's interesting how everybody says "first black president".
I think him more as the 44th president that happens to be black.

I think the more notable things from the coverage was the sign "get da hell out Bush" or similar, and the brief singalong version of "sha na na na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye" as Bush and Cheney were being flown over washington. Americans... Such class.

But yeah, funny as hell if only for the reality of it.

And for the record, this does not end the centuries of oppression, but instead is just another step to making it less aparent. All it would take is a political cartoon with all the presidents in a room, with the words "equal opertunity" being said to illistrate this. Most of the campaign against Obama was decidedly racist in nature, which is why it failed. People did not elect him for the color of his skin, but rather tha value of his ideals, or atleast one would hope. Personally, I don't care, I just want the 24/7 coverage of politics to finally end... 2 years of this crap is enough.

I'm an Obama fan, but I have to say, umm, stupid old man can't fly because of being tortured as a POW and Moose are NOT DUMB LAZY ANIMALS they are majestic, and also you have obvioulsy never seen a vid clip of a moose maul creepy stuff man, broke the guys legs, right arm, and colar bone......(Moose are also probobly my favorite animals lol)

Back on topic, that speech was EPIC, I liked "We will extend a hand if you will unclench your fist" line and the similar ones, I am extremely opposed to the Bush Doctrine (Military power does not make the world America's playground people!) and I believe that quote is what American foreign policy is supposed to be all about, protecting innocents and making friends out of foes.

Nice sentiments there Malachi Delacot but take a moment to analyze what you just posted.

"It's interesting how everybody says "first black president".

You don't think of him as the first black president but you noticed that everyone else does?

Obama's presidential paraphernalia isn't selling out because he is the 44th president. All of these racial comments aren't being posted because he is the 44th president. Read other posts about his presidency here in the debates section and you can see what happens to anyone who makes a negative comment about him, They get flamed and banned. That is just here on the Nexus right? There was an attempted assassination on Ronald Reagen, do you remember why? There are plots and assassination attempts on a lot of high profile public figures from the pope to Jody Foster but what if it happens to Obama? Will the media run with the raciest angle to bump up their ratings? Not here in America, we don't have to worry about things like that do we? We can just add it to all the other assassination attempts just like we can add the O.J.Simpson trial to all of the other televised murder cases.

The future that I fear is fast approaching. Anyone who would dare to mutter the words "I like Bush" is already flamed and treated like a leper and anyone who dares to say anything negative about our new president will be called a raciest. I personally don't care that he is the 44th president or that he is the first black president. I care about how the American public is already being programed. Everyone hated that idiot W yet he was still elected for a second term, how did that happen? Who voted for him? Now everybody loves Obama just like we are being told to do by the media.

For eight years our president has been called an idiot, he has been referred to as W or Bush and sometimes Mr. Bush by the media. On a few occasions he was actually called President Bush.

For eight years I have listened to the media refer to Bill Clinton as President Clinton. There was former president Jimmy Carter, Nixon, Ford Reagen and so on. All of the former presidents were called "Former President" except for W and President Clinton.

For eight years we will have President Obama. He will be remembered throughout history, not as the 44th president of the United States of America but as the first Black president. No matter what his actions as president do for or to this country, that will not change. The American public will only see the good, they will be fed the proper dose of propaganda from the media and Obama will be loved as the greatest president this country has ever had.

By now you are probably already thinking of me as a bigot, a raciest, just because I dare to post a negative comment about President Hussein. You are already angry at me for not praising him as the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel. I really don't care, I only care that anyone who doesn't agree with the majority, anyone who doesn't go along with the media and think and act as they are told, will be oppressed, downtrodden and called a raciest and isn't that what discrimination is all about?

I dont know...look at them mooses...they barley even move...Sarah palins got a rifle...i mean poo...even the moose is just like "F*** it..." I dont really see them as majestic...I see Lions as majestic or powerful and honorable but not mooses...mooses remind me of the pokemon Slowpoke. they do. but hey it could be worse... they could be a...

I did not vote for Obama but then again, I was not too happy with any of the selections presented.

I do not think any of the 1st presidents would have been impressed with the candidates.

I also realize that America is currently in a jam in many different areas and will require some very unpopular decisions to be made to set things straight. I do not envy anyone taking office but if hard decisions are made, they will be unpopular in the short term but history will reveal if they were the correct decisions. I am talking about stopping much of the government spending and unnecessary programs and "benefits" being handed out like they were candy. I am NOT talking about taking away rights of citizens.

America, for the most part, voted for change. Let's hope this change is for the better and not something along the lines of becoming a police state.

It is a scary thought that America's citizens might be stripped of their means (and rights) to defend themselves not from just individual burglars and thugs but from their own government if the need arises. If you recall, Hitler disarmed his citizens early in his game plan.
