Members rawhide1 Posted January 21, 2009 Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 Well I was up all night at work so I napped thru his speech. But the wife says it was a good one. I didn't vote for the fella but I wish him luck and I hope he can do some good. Everyone's making a big deal out of him being the first black president. But to tell the truth I really don't care what color ya are. Just do what you say your going to do and not just say it to get in office. And then once you get in go a whole nother route. I hope I don't make people mad but I don't have a lot of faith in politicians. Maybe he'll prove me wrong. Mike Quote
Members TexasJack Posted January 21, 2009 Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 Last I checked, this is not a political forum. Not everyone is happy that the USA has decided to become a socialist nation. Peaceful transition? Great. Now let Texas secede peacefully and we can all be happy. Furthermore, speeches mean absolutely nothing. "The check is in the mail." I suggest that there are more appropriate forums for political argument. Quote

The initial post was simply an evaluation of the speech and wishing the President well. Why are you posting to the thread and posting something controversial, if you object to politics here? That seems inconsistent to me. In any case, the thread was not started as an argument or to elicit argument. Quote Ride Safe!

Ian Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I'm trying to think of a single instance where who the president was affected my life. My goal is to design a life that is as far away from any government influence as possible. When your happiness is dependant on the government, you're a lost soul IMHO The most exciting thing that happened to me yesterday is that I learned how to do the trick braid - now THAT'S good stuff!!

Unfortunately, they fixed that loophole in the Constitution right after the War Against The South. Elections, like civil wars, have consequences and we just lost another one. Soooo, just put down the remote and pick up a good book. It's gonna be a long 8 years and after that they will have rigged the election system so well with folks like ACORN that they'll probably win the next election too. By the way, did ya'll hear that Bill Ayers was not allowed into Canada? Yeah, apparently a good friend and associate of our new President is not welcome in Canada. They know a terrorist when they see one. As for this being off topic.... I must agree with Bree. It was marked. Quote Brent Tubre email: BCL@ziplinkmail.com

Moderator Art Posted January 21, 2009 Moderator Report Posted January 21, 2009 Hi Randy, Here we are all inaugurated out. For the last two months, this town has been the ultimate wack job. It happens every four or eight years. New regime, everyone's either happy, elated or depressed. Now we will get back to the same old way this town's been running since the 1800s. The Federal Government is sooooooo big now that it would take a bulldozer the size of Texas to make it change course just a little bit. TO ALL, This is an Off Topic Forum in a thread labeled Political Content. If you keep it clean, and civil, and stay within the bounds of the Patriot Act, pretty much anything goes. All the moderators pretty much read every post in this forum thoroughly. Flaming and fighting are not things that are high on the list of things we like to see. Furthermore, if any hand slapping needs to be done, leave it to a mod, or if you think we are neglecting something, report the offending item.
