This Inauguration Makes me Proud to be American

[JimBowie1958]

Over two hundred years of peaceful transition of power continnues on.

Despite the polarization of our politics that has gone on for the last forty years, we can still bear the thought of handing power over to the person elected by the majority of electors in the Electoral College.

I pray this streak continues for two more centuries.

This inauguration makes me deeply ashamed that the people of America are of such low information that they reelected a creature that has proven that his is both vile and insane. It's like seeing Charlie Manson take the oath of office.

Well said. Although I also hope that the EC does not differ from the popular vote as that strains the limits of our tolerance

That's because you're unamerican and useless. And likening the president of the United States to Charles Manson is disgusting. You should be ashamed -- though I doubt you have the capacity for the necessary self-reflection

Good grief... so you're one of the 100 or so idiots actually watching?

Meh, different topic. I dont much care for Obama, but I didnt like ROmney much more.

Why is it that Dems have nothing respectful to say about GOP officials and vice versa?

That such a state exists so ubiquitously in our Republic is a very bad omen.

700,000 the largest attendance of any second inauguration.
Yes, all those protestors waving American flags and cheering.

Are they cheering Obama's drones or King's dream?

I agree with the OP, but state-by-state election of the President is the last protection against potential election fraud. Without it, the political machines in our largest cities could manufacture enough votes to throw every election. However, I am not opposed to proportional allocation of electoral votes within States...

I am certainly unnewamerican.

Comparing obama to Manson is insulting, to Charles Manson. Manson has an integrity obama lacks.

 

[NoNukes]

It is a great day for America.

There was a transfer of power?

Well, with Biden at least that is plausible.

It is a continuation of our tradition of transfering power, yes, as the inauguration of the elections winner is part of that process whether power is being changed with a specific inauguration or not.

 

[Merchant_of_Meh]

Didn't watch. He will say what he has said all along so I don't really expect to hear anything different.

That said, I do agree with the OP.

So, no?

I look at today and know that tonight just before i fall off to sleep
I will be happy that at least we have control of the House of Representatives...
And we can slow this administration down.

Can anyone imagine the kind of debt we would be in if Obama,Reid and Pelosi had total power.
