Say what? A new president?

[borgseawolf.livejournal.com]

No we're not :P

lol that last one is priceless.

Given the problems with the Oath today, I'd say the "complete sentences" one.

Plus I'm looking forward to many "um...." soundbites. Someone as polished as Obama should know better than to use "um..." as a filler. :P

I am, however, enjoying my free unicorn.

True, but Obama's pretty liberal with the "um"s and "uh"s when he's not reading off a Teleprompter.

Re: FYI

Ya, but this truly sounds like grasping at straws.

Well, you guys go ahead and take any victories you can I guess.

Re: FYI

Stumbling over the oath, or adding filler expressions in unscripted speech, is trivial in the face of everything else. If I'm going to take any victories, it'll be when the Great Disillusionment Of The Faithful occurs, when all his supporters realize he can't do everything he's been hyped up to be able to do.

Personally, I hope Obama does well in addressing all the problems before him.

Re: FYI

Wait, you want him to fail and succeed? Well I guess that is one way to be happy either way.

Re: FYI

[thormonger.livejournal.com]

I want him to do well for the sake of the country, but I don't see him being able to meet the unrealistic expectations that have been placed on him. On the latter part, I'll get some enjoyment at the disillusionment of his supporters, much as the left seemed to enjoy Bush's alienation of his base. I don't think the former and the latter portions are equal.

Re: FYI

[capthek.livejournal.com]

Ah, so you want him to do well while also getting revenge somehow. That clears things right up, not my priorities but who am I to judge?

Re: FYI

[thormonger.livejournal.com]

Well, this is going nowhere fast. I don't have a problem with Obama yet, but with the people who hated Bush so much they seemed to expect that Obama will magically change the world overnight. The disappointment of those people will provide some amusement.

Re: FYI

Yes, it is going nowhere since you just keep on repeating that you look forward to the sadness of others but don't want to be inconvenienced by the larger ramifications of an Obama failure, then I say that is rather narrow and that you might want to find other sources of pleasure than from the pain of others and you then repeat again.

Do you keep repeating the same thing in the hopes that you will somehow come off as less petty? You would have to actually change your mind about where your values lie I think.
