Okay. So. He's in, despite the fact that the Chief Justice of the United States flubbed the words to something he should have maybe taken the time to practice. Even once. (Heckuva job, 'Robby.')
How's this, naysayers... what say you allow things to run their course naturally? Is that too much to ask, after what we've endured for the last almost-decade? You certainly gave George plenty of slack.
Millions of Americans and people around the world are genuinely happy that Obama is the President. Would you mind terribly just letting us enjoy it for a few days? You know, since we 'let' your guy fuck up the planet almost to the point of no return and all of that.
Thanks.

I like listening to them scream and rave and froth and weep and whine. It puts a lovely edge on my enjoyment.
The title of your post, annie, reminded me of that Martin Luther King speech: How long, not long. I'd like the right-wingers to stop frothing and give it a rest for a second, but I saw a headline this morning that said Rush Limbaugh hopes Obama fails. I guess he doesn't get that Obama's failure would be our nation's failure. We're all in this together.
Thank you for speaking my mind, Annie. I've had to bite my tongue on Facebook so many times the last couple of days. It's my girls' stepmother, and the Obama countdown clock she installed (then later had the sense to remove), and the remarks about moving to Canada.
I've got news: Canada might be happier to host you now that it has been in years, bitch!
Kids are watching over there, so I do my part to keep the tensions to a respectable level :-) Thanks for letting me blow off some steam!
I didn't see it myself but i did read that Fox News were questioning whether Obama was actually President because of the mix up in the swearing in. I can see that particular news station being on his back whatever he does.
The mood around here is generally upbeat and positive. We like our new President. It is so wonderful to hear a guy talk who can speak in complete sentences and actually makes sense.
The oath flub is moot - the Constitution stipulates that the president-elect takes office at noon on Jan. 20. Also, many presidents have simply answered "I do" after the CJ reads the oath, so saying the exact words is not necessary.
It felt good to listen to NPR today and hear lots of references to President Obama, but it felt gooder than good NOT to hear the words President Bush.
barack is an ox too
pee ess, i have that kansas album
Lovely photo, Annie. What a sweet domestic scene in a great little neighborhood.
I am enjoying Obama's first days immensely. We have a President, with a capital P, again. No one can take that away. Not Rush, not stupid right wing rabid assholes. No-body.
No kidding. The man has been president less than a week and already the detractors are pissing and moaning. Give me a break.
