No more painful than watching an alleged leader who has looked like a deer caught in the headlights for 7+ years

Besides, she's a singer, listen, don't watch.

I voted against Bush twice. So I know exactly what your talking about regarding the "deer in headlights." I was embarrassed when he was elected. Don't assume I'm pro-Bush.

Her voice isn't as good as it used to be either and she sweats all over the microphone. So I can't watch or listen. I'll just have to tevo it and fast forward through the disgustingly fat "Queen of Soul."

I don't know, haven't seen her for a while but everything I have on vinyl/CD I like. Although I wouldn't complain if Diana Krall was headlining the inauguration

It's not fat. Her money belt is what got larger.

She also grew a resonating chamber to give her more bottom end and vibrato.

Learned the trick from Pavarotti, from what I hear.

In one statement, I won't watch it. It will likely make me gag at the ignorance and stupidity of the people who voted for Obama (mainly because he is black).
I think you mean oppression.

Why the posts of people who make these racist comments always full of mistakes?

I wonder if it's going to be the Black version of the National Anthem "lift every voice and sing"?

In fact, it just makes us laugh more at them for still wallowing in loser mode. Must be sad for the little fundie nutjobs that Jesus didn't appoint Bush clone a third term to further destroy the country.
Yea freako, Obama will do great for our country....
Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves Jr.
It's early and Obama has not been drunk yet!
