Things I noticed during the broadcast:

a) Aretha Franklin had a snazzy hat with lots of bling
b) that classical piece was total playback and I thought it was garbage
c) you'd think that after hundreds of speeches and a month to prepare, Obama would get the oath right ... but I guess I'd be nervous too, if I was about to become chief of the world
d) that white minister who held his little prayer/sermon in the beginning should have been shot. What happened to seperation of church and state?
e) CNN broadcast was delayed as if they had to cut out swear-words ...
f) DZA the Bootyman and I were rating chicks in the audience but kept being very disappointed. Ain't there not hot girls in DC??
g) Michelle Obama must have been freezing her ass off with what she was wearing

All in all: a total disappointment. Worst Obama-moment on TV that I have seen.

sadly I agree with your post. I felt the same. Though I thought the John Williams piece was nice but somewhat displaced...

Same shit, different name.

It doesn't matter who's the front figure, the decision makers are still the same inner circle as ever. It's highly unlikely Barack will withdraw US troops from Afghanistan and Iraq (and not start a war against Iran), we won't see the US ceasing to support Israel in both money and military equipment, we won't see the US loosen up the religious extremism up to government level, we won't see the US stop acting like a world police, we won't see the US economy recovering, we won't see the government stop defending the oil producers and their money instead of supporting more environment-friendly sources of energy and fuel, we won't see the US education system improving and being accessible to poorer people, we won't see an end to the war on terrorism (especially the black and white doctrine of "Either you're with us or you're against us"), and we won't see an end to sketchy Hollywood remakes of excellent foreign movies.

Something tells me a lot of the US needs some therapy or to take some happy pills. Bitter is the new Magenta.

You know who executive chief of staff is, don't you?
I don't care for Obama but this guy is gonna move stuff.
That's probably the single best move Obama made until now:

you mean made it happen... by default... because Bush's term was ending anyway... you say that like its a victory and it wasn't going to happen anyway.

Fuck you for bringing up the race card... that has NOTHING to do with anything.

I have no respect for a politician who wants to disarm the people, someone who believes that ordinary citizens shouldn't own a single gun... and now he's our President? fail. as a country, fail.

Anyone who has paid attention in history class would realize what this government is becoming/doing... every mass genocide of a people has been brought by disarming the populace first.... seriously, brush up on your history if you don't believe me.

Luckily us Germans don't really care much for religion. So, nope, I don't know who he is and I'd rather keep it that way.

I do know of an 80s wrestler named "Superstar" Billy Graham, though. He was a lot more entertaining than this preachy mofo ...

For those who couldn't catch it - Barack didn't stumble, the other guy ommited a part of the oath which he corrected. I didn't find the speech overly life changing - but it was cool and collective but to the point on what we need to do as a country. I did enjoy his outreach to other countries - especially those in the Middle East and I was glad to hear us "non belivers" included as part of this countries religious make up.
