I'm really proud of my son, too, but he's not a total brainwashed social idiot just because he/we watched 1 hr of the inauguration.

I would rather have slammed my ballsack in a door a couple few times than watch that POS say anything. It would have hurt less.

Not really much of a statement
once you are over 50 years old, its pretty much the only excitement you can have with your ball sack. Other than the peanut butter and pit bull thing.

Can You Guess How Many Straw Man Arguments Were in Obama’s Speech? | TheBlaze.com



Straw Man #1:
“For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias.”
The President’s line about muskets and militias is a rhetorical flourish more than an argument, but the first part of this line is an obvious straw man. No one in the current political climate is arguing for a complete dissolution of government power such that only the American people as a collective would be responsible for defending the country or performing any other task. Rather, the question is how much responsibility should be left to private citizens. Saying “private citizens cannot handle all responsibilities” is not the same as saying “private citizens cannot handle any responsibility at all.”

OBAMA ARGUES FOR MORE GOVERNMENT USING…THE CONSTITUTION?



“Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers,” Obama said. “Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play. Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.”

What did these innovations have to do with the Constitution? Obama did not specify. In fact, as the speech went on, he seemed more interested in describing the ways in which deviation from the spirit of the Founders was, in fact, the most consistent way to follow the constitutional spirit. For instance, at one point, Obama practically seemed to elevate the communitarian spirit of his 2012 campaign pronouncement “You didn’t build that” into a constitutional principle (emphasis added):
“But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people.”

I always enjoy the Inauguration, no matter who was elected. I've always watched MSNBC but the love fest today got on my nerves.

Already setting up us Lobbying Firm, for when he gets out of office ........ did Pres. Obama ever QUIT Campaigning ?


MOMENTS AFTER INAUGURAL ADDRESS, OBAMA LAUNCHES BATTLE MACHINE

Shortly after delivering one of the most divisive inaugural addresses in American history, President Barack Obama doubled down on his ram-it-through strategy by sending out an email on behalf of his newly-converted permanent campaign instrument, Organizing for Action. Obama’s re-election campaign machine, Obama for America, has now been rechristened as a 501(c)4 lobbying group, Organizing for Action – and Obama’s already gearing up the machine for battle:

Benjamin --
I just renewed my oath of office to serve as your president for four more years.
Thank you for making this possible. It's an honor to be your president.
Now it's time to finish what we started -- let's get going.
Barack
P.S. -- Organizing for Action is the next step in our grassroots movement and will be crucial to finishing what we started. If you haven't already, say you'll be part of it.

Yup

But, I purchased a ton of heavy metal MP3's from Amazon and iTunes yesterday in honor of the big event.
