I think he'll do a decent job. But all that "change" talk, I believe was shallow hype to get votes. But what I dislike the most of this "new messiah cometh", is the Hollywood fanfare and racial over hype. Already the new inauguration is going to be like the Academy Awards, with endless Hollywood elites, and celebrities picked because of their race to read "historic" documents. It really is all about race. And Obama is the new new Mr Hollywood "blackface". I personally do not see him as black or African American(uberPCtalk), because I believe if his mother was Chinese, he would not be being paraded around as the "1st "black" President", but since it's politically incorrect to be "white", they just conveniently sweep that aside, and now they gotta "brother" in the white house. And CNN, if that's not the most racially pandering, and condensending "news" channel. You ever watch the Hughly show? It's downright offensive, and filled with negative racist stereotype "comedy". Ugh. Well, this Hollywood elite race hype is not what American politics should be. They are even going to have young black kids sing praises to Obama at this thing. This just isn't right, and it's an affront to our nation, and I think makes Obama look bad. He should not go along with this. Carl

I'd rather have black kids giving praise than some knuckleheads from the KKK dancing around like in O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?, ya know? Seriously, it's not something to let your BP get so raised about. Anyone with money will be showing up at these events, whether they're millionaires who didn't even vote for Obama, or celebs who want to be seen. They will be there because they CAN. If I was a celeb and had the cash, I'd go too. Can't be any more celeb-riddled than Clinton's presidency. Remember how that eight years was? Would you be upset if Clinton won, and had female celebs up there in place of the black celebs you're railing about? I'm not thrilled about that pastor who's anti-gay/etc., but it's the choice Obama made. At least he's having an openly gay bishop give the inauguration prayer, and many other gay people will be given positions under his lead. If you are going to expect the worst, you will see nothing but the worst. I don't think you even want to see Obama succeed, honestly. Ben

And that's fine, you arn't alone. But I just don't think the office of president should be a Hollywood elite spectacle and uberPC race event. I mean, I wonder what type of shoes Brittney Spears will be wearing, and who's dress will America Ferrara be sporting? And I wonder how Queen Latifah's hair style will be? Did Jonathan do it? Carl Hurray for Hollywood! As a President, I think Obama will do fine, but he is and will be "politics as usual", I think in the mold of a Clinton Jr.

TV news exists for the purpose of perpetuating its own existence. The media grab(s?) onto trivial, stupid poop that it hopes people care about. In this case, you and I don't. I feel that way about most "news." Keath Ledger's death--BFD. Brangelina--please die. Hopefully there will be real change and we'll see some people who signed off on torture get locked up.

At least he's having an openly gay bishop give the inauguration prayer, and many other gay people will be given positions under his lead. I don't get this. Why would he have an anti-gay pastor give one speech, and a gay bishop give another speech? I would think that if any of these two guys had any principles (whether you regard them as right or wrong principles), they would refuse to appear because of the other. I'm "surprised" at the glitz of this as well. I thought all the lights and stuff were producing global warming, and what with the economy the way it is, how dare they spend money like water? (I wonder if part of that bailout package is going to ensure this glitzy little inaugeration?) The Thunder Child Science Fiction Journal http://thethunderchild.com

Bush was hailed by the posters as being "sent by God", "annointed by Christ to lead our nation", etc., in 2000 and 2004. But that was okay? I've never heard a single fellow Democrat or liberal refer to Obama as "The One" or "The Messiah" to me -- ever. That is a meme "catapulted" by the right-wing talking heads on radio/TV and angry reactionaries at NewsMax.com, FreeRepublic, etc. Right-wing websites are still running stories on how Obama is completely illegitimate because he's not really a U.S. citizen, but rather a "Kenyan" or "Indonesian" Muslim, and that if he's sworn in next week it'll mark the end of America as we know it. During the fall campaign, I thought it was hilarious to hear conservatives decrying the Obama "Cult of Personality"... all while simultaneously establishing the most fervent cult imaginable around Sarah Palin.

(I believe she was referring to the first black person with a real shot of being Prez, not some messianic "The One".) Plenty of goofballs and nutjobs can be found on both sides of the political fence, of that we're all fully aware. In the above post I wrote, "I've never heard a single fellow Democrat or liberal refer to Obama as "The One" or "The Messiah" to me -- ever." That refers to my personal interaction with human beings (friends, co-workers, family), not TVs or computer screens. A simple question: Who actually refers to Obama as "The Messiah" (in "real life" and on TV)? Democrats? No. Republicans? Yes. (As a pejorative -- either in genuine disgust or as satire) Man, you hang around some weird sites, looking for material. Well, those "weird" sites -- FreeRepublic.com, NewsMax.com, etc. -- absolutely represent & reflect the basic "mainstream" core of Republican/conservative thinking in my part of the country, the South (which is conservative dominated). I can't speak for other regions of the country in this regard. "Dammit, it's jammed!" www.eccentric-cinema.com

Funny stuff. Mary J. Blige is a crackhead if I recall? Should I be inspired by her allegiance? Nah! Most of these people look like circus acts or rehab outcasts. I can't take it seriously and if anything the video leaves me feeling a tad more worried for the future of our country than before. I think Obama personally is probably just as worried about all the hype as anyone. So what happens if he is nothing more than an average president or worse a complete failure? Then what you all? I for one am trying to get beyond this man's race and just hope he has some answers to some very serious problems are country is dealing with. The fact that he is very well educated and his wife even more so is a plus. Plus he considers Chicago home which can't all be bad. I'll let the brothers have their fun and enjoy the moment. It's a free country. I am just praying this new president is "the one" for fixing the problems and not "the one" because he digs soul brother music. My wonder is, since I am a bad American and rarely voter, where were all these dipsh@ts in that video when George W. was being elected and then re-elected since 2000? I have nothing personally against Obama. He hasn't done anything yet to be happy or angry about! I wish him the best as our new President and hope he does make a difference. Not because he is half black, but because he is the one that has been elected and we all need his help desperately. To say he is the next Abraham Lincoln or FDR is just a tad premature however. Let's just hope he is not the next Jimmy Carter! I wonder if the voters were doing similar song and dances when Marion Berry was elected in D.C. Hell I remember the struggles of Mayor Harold Washington in Chicago also. Smaller stage, but just as intense. We have to keep the race card out of this and just give Obama his just dues. We can discuss much later in life what a grand success or failure he was and then debate why? So can it Will I. Ain't. Just let the man do his job without all the trappings of his ethnicity. Peace Out! HombreLobo44
