Surely There Will Be No Missing "O"'s

Remember eight years ago today when the outgoing Clinton administration left $15,000 worth of "damage, theft, vandalism, and pranks" to government property on their way out the White House door? Oh, those rascally Democrats.

At the time, Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer played down the Clintonian shenanigans:

"Whether things were done that were perhaps less gracious than should have been, it is not going to be what President Bush focuses on, nor will it be what his staff focuses on. Whatever may have been done, we are going to just put our heads down and look ahead,'' he said.

The bad thing is, many of these jokers will be returning.

But I'm sure President Obama will find all the "O"'s on his keyboards.

Not Without a Hitch

Not exactly off on the right foot, huh?



UPDATE: In fairness, Chief Justice John Roberts messed up first. The oath should read: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States..." Roberts said "execute faithfully" instead, which may have caused Obama to stumble on his words.

I wonder if this is the first time the Oath of Office has been flubbed by an incoming President?

The Obama Regime Has Begun

It's a tough time to be a conservative Republican right now.

All weekend and for the past two days, you can't turn on the television without being inundated with everything Obama. My kids can't even watch Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel without being indoctrinated by the ridiculous worship of the man. The left-minded media can't get enough of him, and if this is any indication of the kind of softball press he will receive, it's going to be a long four years for the 58,343,671 people in this country who didn't vote for him.

It is commendable that our nation--one that critics continue to hammer as racist overall--has elected the first African-American to its highest office. Thus the inauguration of Barack Obama is a significant moment in American history, and he will be justly remembered for it.

But it's sad that so many people are placing all their hopes for a better America on the shoulders one man, one human being. He has changed people's lives. He has given people hope, at least those whose personal emotions depend on which political party occupies the White House. He's being compared to Lincoln and Kennedy without having done a single thing to deserve it. He has given those who voted for him the belief that the "whole nation" is coming together for his coronation...err, inauguration. They are literally worshiping him like the Liberal Messiah!

For the liberals who have lamented and anguished over the past eight years, congratulations. Your nightmare is now over. You can live your lives henceforth free from the man who tormented your liberal minds for so long. Now you know how conservatives felt after eight years of the scandal-ridden and sleazy administration of William Jefferson Clinton, who was one of the top five worst presidents in our nation's history.

But what will happen when the Great Obama fails to live up to your expectations? What if he can't fulfill all the lofty promises he made in the campaign? The bar has been set so high for him, it will be impossible for him to make everyone happy. Four years from now, will you still want to keep that Obama commemorative plate on your mantle?
