Presidential inauguration: Obama throws down challenge to Republican right
2013-01-22
President's uncompromising inauguration address sets out liberal agenda for second term - gun control, climate change, immigration reform and gay rights - as he also vows to protect America's social safety net.

His left hand barely removed from the two Bibles chosen for his ceremonial swearing-in, Barack Obama used his second inaugural address boldly to urge his fellow citizens to make the most of the new hour - the end of two wars and the start of an economic recovery - to honour a shared vision of prosperity, peace and equality.

"My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it, so long as we seize it together," Obama asserted in a speech that echoed the beliefs he campaigned on last year, ranging from protecting the poor and disadvantaged to gay marriage, from healthcare and immigration reform to climate change.

As such, he threw down the gauntlet to Republicans - there will be no backing down from the principles he believes in.

#11  Taken from the "LEFTIST/LIBERAL MANIFESTO", as ascribed per FOX NEWS + FOX Pundits this Guam AM.

Iff there was any doubts about the Bammer being Far Left, Leftist-Radicalist, or Leftist/Commie-Anarchist, IT ENDED TODAY VEE HIS OWN REELEX INAUGAURAL SPEECH.

FNC'S "THE FIVE" Segment > FEISTY ANDREA = Didn't get the entire segment, but IIUC Andrea argued that the Bammer's speech IHRO showed his covert but real personal desire for International or States-Diplomatic
"Collectivism" + State-led, State-decided, State-controlled/Managed EQUAL OUTCOMES IRREGARDLESS OF THE CAUSES OR MERITS. THE GOVT- STATE, + ONLY THE GOVT-STATE, NOT THE PEOPLE OR THE VOTERS OR INDIVIDUALS OR FREE MARKET FORCES, ETC. MUST CHOOSE + DECIDE + CONTROL + MODIFY???

There is No God, Life, or Existence save for the State.

US CONSTITUTION???

POTUS Billary hinted at it, but was too PCorrect to affirm it, POTUS BAmmer has now publicly semi-affirmed 1990's "This is Amerika, NOT America".

2017-2025 > POTUS 3rd, 4th, ???-Termer BARACK "DON'T CALL ME FDR OR STALIN" OBAMA OR OTHER PRO-OWG, NAU ANTI-US GLOBALIST-ANARCHIST POTUS SUCCESSOR = D *** NG IT, WHAT PART OF "THIS IS AMERIKA, NOT AMERICA" DID WE ONCE AGAIN N-O-T UNDERSTAND"!

The Bammer, DemoLeft, LeftMedias + anti-US Globies are NOT going to give the GOP-Right any chance to turn the clock back towards anti-Socialist, anti-OWG/Globalism, "Nationalist/Sole Sovereign" US in 2016 or after Jan 2017.

Lest we fergit, 1990's CLINTONISM > "THE US-N-ONLY-THE US MUST BE RESTRAINED AND CONTROLLED ..... THE US-N-ONLY-THE-US MUST ACCEPT OWG + SOCIALISM, OR THE US WILL BE DESTROYED".

And thus Virgina, we learn once again the Left likes Gun Control - EITHER NO ONE HAS GUNS, OR SSSSHHHHH .....CCCCCC ONLY THE LEFT HAS GUNS.

[ROSIE "NO ONE CAN HAVE A GUN UNLESS THEY'RE A FAMOUS HOLLYWEIRD CELEBRITY LIKE ME " O'DONNELL here].

#8  Ignore. Mock. Get on with business.

No other response is needed or appropriate.

#7  My fellow Americans, we who were made for such a moment, will now seize whatever we can, as much as we can, while we can, until the system seizes up!

#6  "My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it, so long as we seize it together,"

All this moment seizing sounds a lot like inappropriate touching.

#5  Washingtonian's Sophie Gilbert writes, "To press seated just below the podium, in front of the 'President's Own' Marine Corps Band, it was evident that the band wasn't actually playing during the song—even though band director Colonel Michael J. Colburn was conducting energetically and the band members mimicked blowing into their instruments". Appears Beyonce Lip-Sync the Star-Spangled Banner?"

Fitting and appropriate I'd say. A fake performance all around.

#4  Damn! I missed Obama's screed. I got interested in a show, "How It's Made", and learned all about making Corn Flakes and Pitted Prunes.

#2  So the rest of the middle class will be decimated and the already wealthy will be catapulted to never before dreamed of wealth. The takers will forever outnumber the makers and have now discovered how to simply vote themselves more benefits.
Four more of the same, nothing to see here.
