#1 I don't like at all thses words about "America helping the weak". The weak can be a bastard dreaming of murder, looting and rape but who hasn't the strength to implement them. The Palesos are a prime example.

#2 Gathering clouds, raging storms, midst of crisis, weakened ecomomy, greet, irresponsibility, collective failure, hard choices, lost homes, jobs shed, businesses shuttered, failing schools, sapping of confidence, nagging fear, inevitable decline, lowered sights, serious challenges, petty grievances, false promises, recriminations and worn out dogmas, strangled politics, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, common dangers, storms and tests, deep water, only hope survives, wrong side of history, clenched fists......

I believe I need a DRINK!

#3 I saw his lips move and all I heard was Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah.

#4 "Childish things" > HMMMMMMMM, well, in Cold War COMMIE/LEFT-SPEAK referred to such pro-democratic/libertarian ideas as PERSONAL-NATURAL FREEDOMS, MATERIALISM OR WEALTH, VOTER CONSENT = POPULAR VOTE, etc.

* "To shape An uncertain destiny" > Again, the 2009 - 2012 [2016] POTUS OBAMA PERIOD WILL "MAKE OR BREAK" ANY DESIRED US-LED OWG-NWO [including GLOBAL SOCIALIST ORDER]; OR EMPOWER NUCLEAR ISLAMISM-JIHADISM + TERROR, i.e. RISE OF AN ISLAMIST NUCLEAR [proto]SUPERSTATE/CALIPHATE.

The above includes SLOW BUT DE FACTO WEAKENING AND ROLLBACK OF US-SPECIFIC GEOPOLITICAL POWER.
Radical Islam is rampaging and attempting to break up the Cold War ASIAN ORDER [Russ, China, India, etc] as we speak, plus acquire strategic nuclear miltechs = nuclearization.

#5 "...every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms..."

if the storm is raging, the clouds aren't gathering, they are gathered

"...we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents..."

What are these ideals? Why not list them? And what documents in particular? Also, I think he means "forebearers" not "forebears".

So after two paragraphs, I give up.

#6 "and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath."

-umm, wasn't your father allowed in the country in order to pursue an advanced educational degree? Jim Crow was bullshit & it's good that it's gone but let's not get dramatic One-der boy. You have more in common w/the Clinton's then you do w/the Cosbys. You are, in fact, not a descendent of slaves no matter how many ignorant blacks & the lying msm think that you are.

#7 If I were to mention the ghosts of Normandy, then perhaps also Midway? Guadalcanal?

I might have been impressed if he had mentioned the name of the Capital during the War for Independence. And since we are in an era where the previous stuff is null - BH6 is absolutely right.

This must be when white gets right, green gets mean, argile gets servile, and the Red Man is a non-believer, Man.

#8 When my mother was at university in New York City in the latter part of the 1940s, she briefly dated an black African classmate. She couldn't understand that he would not take her out because no place that would serve her would also serve him. So it is quite probable that Barack Obama, Sr. would not have been served in local restaurants, no matter how fancy his education or passport.
