If Hannity were there he would call you "A Great American"

But if you did that during Bush's inauguration he would have called you a an unamerican traitor.

I'm an art student over at Western Michigan University. This morning I found out that today, all classes will be tuning into Obama's inauguration live. At first I thought it was just the teacher's idea in my first class, but then I found out that the President of the University is encouraging it campus-wide. All classes are encouraged to watch.

I walked out.

I very politely, but publicly, stated to the professor and the students within earshot that I feel Obama is a fraud and a liar and I was not going to participate in this political circlejerk. I wished them well, then I gathered my stuff, tipped my hat, and walked out. The looks on their faces were amazing. It was like I had confessed to pedophila or something. I suppose my being black had a little to do with that.

But hey, I have principles and I'd rather not waste 2+ hours of my time watching something that disgusts and embarrasses me.

Holy shit you have huge balls!

My heart jumped in my chest when I read "political circlejerk," because you struck a chord with that perfectly fitting terminology. Pure badass, especially if you actually used those words in class.

+1000! Grinning Maniac, you're awesome! I wish that I had a class I could walk out of.

Well done! There is no Left or Right, Black or White, in a Feudal System. Only Top and Bottom. Lords and Serfs.

Again. Well done.

LOL political circlejerk. You da man.

Didn't say circlejerk exactly. Forgot the term I used. But the rest I did say verbatim.

Inauguration Of Indoctrination

RANDOM THOUGHTS ON A SPECIFIC COUNTRY
BORN OF RANDOMNESS BEHAVING RANDOMLY

I recognize that a truly impressive - one might even say intimidating - number of my countrymen wuv Barack Obama. I do not share their sentiment. Granted, I never put a poster of ANYONE on my bedroom wall, not even in high school, but I am beyond disturbed by what I apprehend to be a collective and cowardly regression to the elevation of personality over principle.

Mark my words here. I am ON the record.

American Idol Gone Wild.

As though we have learned NOT. ONE. THING.

Most expensive campaign in our history, followed by the most expensive inauguration in our history, while we are in unprecedented financial trouble. Newt Gingrich said on Bloomberg TV that “no one does it better,” this peaceful transition of power.

Really? I’da said that certain Monarchies do it better. Take GREAT BRITAIN, as a random example. THEIR transitions have been smooth for hundreds of years, both on Downing Street and at Buckingham Palace. MOREOVER, they DAILY parade a you-gotta-see-it-once-in-your-lifetime-nifty Changing Of The Guard that has kept the coins of touristas flowing into the cups of local merchants, jeepers, for a long time.

Whether it’s Barack Obama or whether it’s Michelle Obama or both, whether its David Axelrod or the DNC or Powers That Be Wearing Invisibility Cloaks, SOMEONE in this operation is a SPENDAHOLIC. I speak from experience, I KNOW what I’m talking about. SOMEONE in this operation is OUT. OF. CONTROL. with what they WRONGLY think of as Petty Cash. It is EASY to think of eye-popping sums of money as petty, when the money is someone else’s and it’s suddenly fashionable to chat in billions instead of millions.

It is MY understanding that Barack Obama is sitting on tens of millions of dollars, AT LEAST, from his campaign. Referencing the exorbitantly higher price tag, someone on Bloomberg said “…mainly security.” If that’s true, howzabout Mr. Fund Raiser himself - the one who incites the NEED for heightened security - step up to the Volunteerism plate by kicking in his fair share of the bill? May I remind everyone that the very first demonstrable action of the 2006 Democratic “Mandate,” marking Nancy Pelosi’s assumption of the Speaker of the House mini-throne, was to throw a big parTAAY?

It was wasteful and inappropriate then, and the mandated Congress proceeded to do nothing but make matters worse. It is even MORE wasteful and MORE inappropriate now. What else CAN I logically infer but that this circle-jerk of Politicos will make matters worser still?

Michelle Obama should never wear that color again and burn those gloves.

What was in the paper bag sticking out of Bush Sr.’s greatcoat? Thought it was a flask for a minute.

Who was the young brunette that Joe Biden went out of his way to kiss after he took his oath. Was he well rehearsed, or WHAT?

What “came up” that delayed Hillary Clinton’s appointment as Secretary of State? That’s what they said on Bloomberg - that something “new” had caused a hiccup in her confirmation and that she was NOT attending the Inauguration as Secretary of State.

When I grow up or if I hook up with someone or, failing that, in my next life, I will bring technological proficiency to the table and then - you can mark my words again here - taking these bullshit politicians and corrupt officials is gonna be like shootin’ fish in a barrel.

Yep, I believe I could compose a gut-buster, if I could capture and insert the clips of Dick Darth Cheney, ridin’ low, not once but TWICE practically pop a wheelie to Exit Stage Left. THAT’S entertainment.

I ardently hope that the actions, inactions, attitudes and appointments during Barack Obama’s transition as President Elect do NOT connote the true game plan of his Administration, rather, that it has all been a bit of a hand-off-fake to pacify the Bad Guys until we were sure we’d gotten ‘em to leave without a fight.

I ardently hope that the predictably lofty rhetoric of his inauguration speech are the words by which he means to lead. Nuthin’ has changed. Talk is cheap. ONE study rather than one hundred rehearsals of his own pontification will make clear - that is, if he would avoid the appearance of being the Hypocrite that he already appears to be - why he needs to cut bait with Monsanto, Starbucks and Pepsi.

My ears perked right up when I heard the Great One announced as Barack. H. Obama. Heavy emphasis on the H., it seemed to me. Like it’s own sentence. H.

Yeah, ‘cuz we don’t usually announce the FULL names of our presidents at formal/legal affairs. The nation was treated to Millhouse and I’ve no doubt that the nation would have been treated to Sinclair. Not so, Hussein.

Between you, me and the lamp post, I think Chief Justice Roberts didn’t get the memo. I think Chief Justice Roberts shocked the shit out of Barack Obama when his voice rang out, “I, Barack HUSSEIN Obama.” Surely, it was that and not nerves that caused our new President, He of the cadenced delivery of heartstring-tugger prose, to FLUB THE OATH OF OFFICE.

I don’t usually resort to internet shorthand, but . . . LMAO.

Laughter being the best medicine, tell me it’s not funny that Barack Hussein Obama said he is humbled.

If you were white, some of them would have thought you a racist. Amusing moment no doubt, would have been all the more glorious if you used the term circlejerk.
