Thoughts on the inauguration

I've given myself a couple days to process everything that happened in the inauguration even though I didn't watch one single minute of it. Even though I'm taking a political science class this semester (and my professor, who is a legend at my college, has met Obama personally) I decided I wasn't watching it a month or so ago. I also had a history class at that time so I didn't see the Lord Messiah inaugurated. Oh, but I've read about it... and seen it. This inauguration was full of flubs from the start. I guess we should've foreseen what was coming when Dianne Feinstein introduced Chief Justice John Roberts to administer of the oaf of office. And while I respect Chief Justice Roberts, he did mess up on the oath. However, Obama flubbed it just as bad as Roberts did. I just knew after I saw the oath on youtube that the media was going to make excuses for this and by jove! it didn't take long for them to start!! The excuse going around is that Obama had the oath memorized (which he well should have) but when Roberts screwed up Obama was waiting for him to correct himself. Nuh uh. Sorry. It didn't work that way. Obama started to repeat what Roberts said but faltered about halfway through. I guarantee you that if that had been George W. Bush instead of Obama they'd be all over him today. Bush is an incompetent idiot!!... This is our President?!? What a disgrace to the office he is... and other stuff like that. But enough on the oath, lets move on to the Messiah's speech. I didn't really hear anything but pure drivel in his speech... the crowd was lost. I mean, I was just listening to it and they didn't know what to do. And then we have the poem. That poem was just... sad in every since of the word. Is this what poetry has come to? No wonder there aren't many famous poets anymore. And to top it all off, was that really a prayer that Rev. Lowry delivered? I'm sorry, maybe its just me, but anything that has we ask You to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around; when yellow will be mellow; when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white would embrace what is right in a prayer is not a real prayer in my book. Prayer isn't meant to be funny.

I find it highly disrespectful that the crowd there A) booed George Bush and B) sang "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!" That is just infuriating to me. I don't like Obama, I never probably will, but I still respect the office he holds and I would not disgrace him in that way. My church is going to Washington next summer and if we would happen to be lucky enough to take a tour of the White House and if we happened to see Obama then I would still consider it an honor. Anyway, you may love him or you may hate him, but Bush held the toughest job for eight years to criticism that would strain a Vulcan's emotionless state. The media's portrayal of him has been classless and what those people did there were just as bad. I got on facebook after getting home from school earlier and I found a rare thing: a group thanking President Bush for what he did (for those who aren't familiar with facebook, a group is something that anybody with a facebook account can create and other people can join. And for an idea of what most George Bush groups are like, most are terribly disrespectful... ie George Bush is a f*****g idiot or something along those lines). I quickly joined and wrote on a comment thanking him for keeping us safe. I don't agree with everything the man did, but I respect him for the way he handled his job and his dedication to it. I've heard that he wants to write a book and I hope he does it soon because I'd love to read something from his point of view rather than the twisted, perverted view that the media gave (and will continue to give) us. If I had the opportunity to meet him someday then I would definitely make an attempt to.
