Slayer Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 actually I was referring to "My Country Tis of Thee", more familiar to you under a different (and very ironic, in this case) name
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Ouch. He butchered that pretty badly.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 He fucked it up! HE FUCKED IT UP! Â He's a failure already, game over, man. GAME OVER! Â and Ah, its God Save the Queen only not, I see! To be fair, I hate the British National Anthem, antiquated and a bit racist. Â EDIT: Â Now he's President could he turn around and arrest George W for War Crimes, just as an example, now?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Just a random silly question... In this speech he said 44 people have been sworn in...which isn't true. So...between him and his writers did everyone now know this or did they just leave it out of fear that since he's the 44th president alot of people wouldn't know that Cleveland counts twice?
CheesalaIsGood Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Now he's President could he turn around and arrest George W for War Crimes, just as an example, now? One can only hope. A big pimpin' SLAP would do real good in front of all those people too.

A big pimpin' SLAP would do real good in front of all those people too. It'd certainly be one of the most historic acceptance speeches. As long as it gave a nice crisp audible crack as he connected.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 He could throw his shoes instead...
Guest Smues Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 FUMBLE For those of us that don't care about this media circus enough to get out of bed early to watch it, what happened? Â Â
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 FUMBLE For those of us that don't care about this media circus enough to get out of bed early to watch it, what happened? Â He started repeating the first line before the guy finished reading and then they butchered the second line so bad they had to pause and start it over.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 worst poem ever. She clearly needs to spend time in a WWI trench for some influence.
Slayer Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 So really it was a false start and then a fumble
bobobrazil1984 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 The guy, Roberts, actually read it incorrectly
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Yeah there was definite movement on the line followed by a deer in the headlights look and the ball hitting the ground. Â ... Â Have you ever watched JP Losman play? Â It was exactly like the 2006 Bills
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 The guy, Roberts, actually read it incorrectly  Yeah. Obama could've recovered from the first line but then the guy then threw him further off by screwing up the second one.
Slayer Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 It was Roberts' first inauguration too, can you blame him?!
2GOLD Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Obama isn't doing anything to George. It's time to move on from him and let it be. Â It was a great speech with a powerful message. Now to see if the American people will be remotely interested in meeting the challenge or will they just pull a selfish "Nah, you do it Prez, I'm busy" attitude. Â Asking the American public to not be selfish, not to care about material and care more about your fellow man than wealth...damn man, you are tackling a crisis 10 times bigger than the economy mess!
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Seeing Cheney hauled off in a wheelchair brought a sick smile to my face
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I like George Bush a lot more right now than I did an hour ago.
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Seeing Cheney hauled off in a wheelchair brought a sick smile to my face  Bush on the other hand I don't scorn, as I see him as the putz who was on puppet strings for the past 9-10 years...
2GOLD Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Â George Bush leaving Washington for good after 8 years....FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY WE ARE FREE AT LAST! Â Sorry, I had the urge.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Seeing Cheney hauled off in a wheelchair brought a sick smile to my face  He's slowly morphing into a villain from the James Bond series.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 That joke has been made mellow.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 That joke has been made mellow. Â Sorry. Must have skipped over it.
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I like George Bush a lot more right now than I did an hour ago. Â Because he's done? or did I miss something?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Because he's no longer in charge of me.
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 WGN is making sniper jokes, good lord and talking about Bush flying off into the sunset.......at Noon
Jingus Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I actually liked the John Williams song. A little more subtle and classical than his usual fanfare, and of course having that all-star quartet play it helped a lot. Â Aretha sounded a bit off, but between her age and the reported frigid cold up there I can't blame her. Â Did Obama have a couple of teleprompters hidden up there? He clearly wasn't using notes, but he kept looking back and forth in the same two directions over and over again. Â Christ, that poem went on forever. I could've recited The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock twice in the time it took her to mumble out all that banality. Â I saw the NBC stream, and it reminded me how horrible a host Olbermann is for this kind of stuff. He keeps trying to Cronkite out some kind of memorable quotes while he's narrating the whole thing.
Lord of The Curry Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 The CBS feed I was watching online was nice and subdued. Nobody was trying to be the star.
Slayer Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I prefer C-Span: straight camera feed, no commentary
