Minority Protection
How come if 47% of the people did not vote for Barack Obama (46 for McCain plus one for everyone else), we have to feel like lepers at a pool party?
Pomp and circumstance have been replaced with pimp and self-aggrandizement — all topped with a heapful of double standards.
…
On his radio show last week, Rush Limbaugh railed against “people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, ‘Well, I hope he succeeds. We have to give him a chance.’”
“Why?” Limbaugh demanded. “They didn’t give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated, the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I’m not talking about search-and-destroy, but I’ve been listening to Barack Obama for a year and a half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don’t want them to succeed.”
That’s it exactly. I don’t want him to succeed, because if he succeeds the country fails. For the country to stay safe (for which much thanks, President Bush) and return to prosperity, Obama will have to either fail spectacularly or govern in complete refutation of his platform and promises.
I fear his success, and I fear he will succeed.

They are setting up an area in each of our offices so people can watch the inauguration. The guy in charge even urged us to do so. I’d lay money he’s no better informed than any other Obama supporter, but it’s really important because of the guy’s race. I wonder if I can spend the next few days in a drug-induced haze without anyone noticing.

just my opinion, but i don’t care how many of the mccain voters are miserable and sick of OBAMA. i’ve been on life support all through the bush years and i survived to vote for OBAMA!!! i don’t care how muchthe inaugration costs either. and while i hope and pray he succeeds if he doesn’t he won’t and can’t do any more damage than bush already has. the truth is that as the forty-fourth, he certainly won’t be the first failure as president. the important thing to me is at least he cares enough to try to improve things in this country and in the world. i have never and will never believe any republican or their supporters cares about anything other than money and hate towards anyone unlike them. it’s the most natural thing in their world to complain, whine, and moan about OBAMA–typical sore losers. for eight years i have just not cared enough to do so because it was a waste of my intelligence to stoop so low.

Just me,
Thanks for sharing you opinion, even if that’s all you’d share with us from the sound of it. Three times you tell us you don’t care what people think or feel; another time you say you don’t believe what they say. And this is without stooping low?
But my favorite part was that Obama might be a failure as president, but at least he cares. That makes one of you. Please don’t waste any more of your intelligence—you’re running low as it is.

The President vows to protect the Constitution, not the people. And in that regard, Bush made the wrong choice.
