Rev Lowery injects racism in closing inauguration prayer.
Benediction at Obama 's inauguration, Rev. Joseph Lowery:
"Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say Amen"
Oh yeah this is change we can believe in! Keep making those evil whites out as racist, lets call Asians yellow while we're at it all white you give the inauguration benediction of the first black president.
Fumbling the words while pledging the oath of Presidential Office is a non-issue. I am not a fan of socialism, but those who are critical of Obama are picking the wrong battle here. He's a human being, and prone to nervousness.
Save your criticisms for when your taxes are raised.

Eh, my mind kept wandering as it always does when he speaks. I know a lot of people say he's an eloquent speaker but all during the campaign, his speeches were so full of 'ums' and pregnant pauses I couldn't keep my mind on what he was trying to say. It drove me nuts. Didn't hear the ums today but his manner of speech does nothing for me like those who praise it so highly. But what I did hear today was ok. Nothing spectacular. But then, why does he need it to be? He's 'in'.
The one that drove me absolutely nuts was that woman (not sure what her name is but she had short, curly hair and looked to be about 1/4 Black) and she-spoke-like-this-during-her-entire-speech. Make it stop!

So much for unity.
ROFL! So much for all this 'unity' talk and the 'party of inclusion'. (inclusion as long as you are not YT, that is) They are off to a great start, huh?

I thought he said, "When the red man can get a head band." I thought to myself, "Whoa! Did he say that?"

So the Sunday School song "Jesus Loves the Little Children" is racist? Hmmm.
I misunderstood part of it when he said "...when a red man can get ahead, man"
I was thinking "How does he know what I do at night???" I know the government has increased its intelligence efforts, but this is getting ridiculous!
