@MataHarley:

Excuse me, but did you not put “Good Luck, President Obama” in bold size 5 font in your original post ??

Oh, Mata…they’re “just words” …..which happen tobe in bold size 5 font.

Well, guess what, Word da Man. Wishing him luck means you hope he manages to achieve all that he wants to accomplish.

Well….that’s the Mata-way of looking at it. But “wishing him luck” can have other meanings. And I mean it in the spirit I intended, which has nothing to do with wishing him success in carrying out policies which I oppose.

@Mike’s America:

Maybe Wordsmith was being sarcastic.

That’s a great guess, Mike. But no, I was sincere. For the sake of our country, I wish them well. It has nothing to do with betrayal of my own political ideology that differs from his. Scott often talks of “patriotism over partisanship”. If we can never get behind our president on anything because of the barrier of the “R” or the “D”, why should we ever expect anything other than a divided country? Why on earth would we ever expect Democrats to acknowledge anything good about President Bush or to “wish him luck”?

In the same spirit that I “wish him well”, I think Bush does too, and Reagan would as well. In the spirit that Mata takes it, no, of course they don’t and wouldn’t.

@james manning:

unlike conservatives that allowed Bush to do as he pleased,

Yeah, ’cause no conservatives ever raised a ruckus about Bush’s brand of immigration reform, Harriet Mier, Ramos and Compean, spending, or Dubai Ports. Nope. Never happened.

I agree with wordsmith

I agree with blast, agreeing with wordsmith.

From the Canadian Free Press comes the truth & consequences of the new BOPAC Administration:

Inauguration of Ignorance, a Festival of Fraud and a Reception of Racism

The Bread and Circuses Presidency
http://zachjonesishome.wordpress.com/

By Daniel Greenfield Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Call it the Bread and Circuses Presidency, or better yet the Bailouts and Reality TV Presidency. Forget expecting results or ethics from the occupant of the White House. Just join an organization or a cause and stick your hand out for your share of of misappropriated taxpayer money, and get ready to vote online for which puppy the Obamas should adopt.

… iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat, panem et circenses.
(Juvenal, Satire 10.77–81)
… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses

So America continues the transition from a citizenry to a people, that waits for government handouts and the comforts of a monarchy as spectacle, broadcast simultaneously on all channels. While Obama preps a cabinet slate, half of whom belong in jail, the media continues applauding loudly to drown out any criticism. And the public watches with glazed eyes.

The millions who will trudge to watch this “historic” triumph of style over substance, dishonest criminality over ethics, and anti-americanism over American, will get exactly what they expect. A $150,000,000 coronation for the Prince of Chicago, a lavish subversion of American democracy splashed across every television and website.

When Rome moved from Republic to Empire, the corrupt decadent Emperors understood what the mob wanted. As Obama’s backers work to make America a post-Democratic post-Republic ogilarchy, they’re doing it with Bread and Circuses.

The ObamaGirl Revolution (TM) will be brought to you by Pepsi (TM) and Jones Soda (TM). Now stay tuned for a news report on a letter by Obama’s flacks supposedly written to his children, yet broadcast to all of America. Feel free to buy some Frito chips, the official chip of the Obama inauguration. And now breaking news, a special interview with the Obama’s new dog. Switch to another channel to see all the movie stars getting their moment too. Welcome to the Fall of the Republic, brought to you by Pepsi.

Never mind that a Muslim Brotherhood proxy will be delivering a prayer at Obama’s inaguration, which means that Al Queda and Hamas will have a place of honor at the event. Keep your eyes on the celebrities and the concerts.

The War on Terror conducted officially by the American government is over, and this time instead of four planes, America itself has been hijacked. The lead hijacker, the 21st hijacker, will shortly place his hand on a Bible, and swear to defend a country he was not born in and overtly despises. And he will try to keep a straight face while doing it, and perhaps show enough restraint not to scratch himself with his middle finger or grab his crotch during the ceremony.

After the last month of outreach, there will no doubt be conservatives that will report approvingly on this. Though what exactly they will be conserving besides their own mainstream relevance, New York Times and Washington Post columns is unclear. When the mob gets big enough, many feel compelled to march with the mob. That is their choice and a matter for their own consciences…Continue Reading

I wonder if the Media understands that they are also making fools of themselves by humping BOPAC?

“While Obama preps a cabinet slate, half of whom belong in jail, the media continues applauding loudly to drown out any criticism”

You guys in the Media need to come clean about Obama’s lack of eligibility, corruption, Larry Sinclair, Rezko, Ayers, Socialism, Anti-Semitism, Berg v Obama, Lightfoot v Bowen, etc. No wonder all your viewers and readers leaving you!

Gaffa: You must be confused. We’re merely responding to the nasty partisan insults and attacks flung at Bush by the Obama, his Chief of Staff, his official WH web page and those attending the Inauguration.

Perhaps you expected us to just sit here and smile at that crap like President Bush?

Well, obviously his example of grace and dignity was lost on Obama.

No honeymoon. Start impeachment proceedings pronto!

Let me see if I got this straight…

You libs demand that we conservatives give Obama all the respect in the world while for 8 years and still going you libs refused to give George W. Bush any respect whatsoever.

Give us some good, solid, logical reasons, if you can, WHY we should give Obama the respect that you refused to ever give George W. Bush

Nice post. But looking at the comments – I thought you guys were going to wait until the day after before the renewal of attacks. Shame the spirit of bipartisanship gets soaked by sour grapes. But still – because some moonbats act like idiots on Bush’s inauguration then that makes it okay I guess.

Oh really? Interesting, since O’Bama talked shit about Bush in his very own inauguration speech. O’Bama’s going classy right off the bat! A sign of the Hope and Change to come.

This is going to be a long, painful four years. I pledge to support the DemocRats exactly as much they’ve supported Bush the past eight years. Which is to say…none.
