NBC Cheat Sheet on Inaguration - EVERYONE BOW TO OUR SAVIOR AND KING!!!!
NBC Cheat Sheet on Inaguration - EVERYONE BOW TO OUR SAVIOR AND KING!!!!
NOT!
Why do we have to go through all this hoopla again. He already had one party down
Penn Ave last 4 years ago why are we wasting all this money and effort. Who is actually gonna watch?
Thank god I have better things to do like... I don't know... my job so others can live off my hard work?
I, King Obama the First, do promise to destroy all the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution, and to make the United States a third world ghetto.
WHY BOTHER..... It is just Millions of $$$$$ BEING WASTED FOR NOTHING.....
What a waste of airtime!
The Supreme Being being crowned! Wonder when he announces that term limits are cancelled and he will remain in office until he decides to have another election?
His campaign crew starts up again on Sunday, with the agenda to make him KING!!
Will be out shopping for a new, improved hand gun on Monday, so maybe FOX will run a 30 sec recap on Monday night.
Wonder if Oprah will be holding the bible for him on Sunday? Monday is really just a pr show!
Hah! Hah! you racist Neandrethal Knuckle-dragging Republicans and you white Trailer-trash Teabaggers!
The Only "Cheat-Sheet" you Clowns need to know is that President Obama is going to be your
Ruler, Master, and Overlord for the Next Four (yes!4) very Long years.
Those Four (yes! 4) Years are going to seem like Eternity to you Republicans and Teabaggers.
arf. arf.
Ain't Life grand?
Hey! don't worry.
Jesus still Loves you.
Now our Socialist Utopia Paradise will finally be Realized on your Planet Earth,
in the Country you once called America!
I can't wait till Obama confiscates all your Guns and Bibles and hands out Muslim Prayer Rugs,
where you'll be Forced to bow down and Pray ttoward Mecca.
And I can't wait for Obama to stack the Supreme Court with as many Socialists, Marxists, Leninists,
and maybe even some good old-fashion, old-style Soviet Commies, and they're in for Life.
Have a Nice Four years!
What, all you Teabaggers and Republicans?
No "chit-chat"?
Is it something I said?
I thought it was NBC's policy to place the word "Advertisement" above Artricles that appeared to be news reports but were actually ads. Don't see that here.
What about the 21 gun salute? That's missing too.
dave steven
All you RWNJ's with your Constitutionalism Bull@!$%# on Gun control... one would think you dip-@!$%#s would know why we have to do it again... ITS IN THE @!$%#ING CONSTITUTION!
Tom, I thought Romney lost
Wow - SOUR GRAPES!!! Too bad, so sad - Repugants LOST and for one good reason - they have NOTHING to offer but hatred, venom, hypocrisy, and obstruction. They are not about people, they are entirely about power and if they're not in the White House they just wet their panties for four years!
A Lib in Oklahoma ! Hallelujah. Maybe there's hope for the country yet. You said it right, Lib, they have nothing to offer but hatred. Just look at all their stupid, racist, misspelled comments. That's all the proof you need.
Hey Lib and Susan- please stop generalizing. For every ridiculous republican comment on these threads you can find an equally ridiculous comment coming from the other side.
What I DIDN'T see in this article was a link to whatever feed they are going to put up. I live overseas and even though (being a rather smart and pragmatic person) I voted for Romney- I'd like to see the inauguration.
I got my undergraduate degree down the block at GWU and so inaugurations bring back fond memories!
People are really going to watch this? How tragic!
Why, for what. What is the point? Cancel that sh_t and save the money for something useful.
What would have been tragic if we would have had to watch Robme do his how important I am act and probably had the day off to watch his high ass oh I mean highness on TV!
Navy vet you can watch loony tunes along with all your other nitwits! See you do have choices in this country!
people like you get to vote - how tragic
Four more years.
Now everyone will watch the dumbing down of America on Sunday,,,,oh and football
Bulletman you didn't even read the first sentence of this article.... sad. You just wanted to chime in and hate.
Jacob007,
That would require him to have the ability to comprehend what he read.
During the current economic turmoil and high unemployment and when people are still losing their homes to foreclosures, it is not very prudent to spend millions on a second inauguration. Another concern I have is the growing number of enemies that Obama has amassed during his first term - and the gun control measures - and his security and safety should be prime concern.
I would suggest that Obama would show more consideration (in safety and cost) towards the people if he holds a private swearing-in ceremony in the White House, as problems facing the nation when he first took was inaugurated, are still facing the nation today for the second inauguration.
A good portion of the funds are coming from private sources.
BTW, he IS doing a private ceremony in the WH on the 20th, as mandated by the Constitution because the 20th is on a Sunday. The public swearing in is on Monday.
Don't you bother to READ?
Why are we the tax payers footing the bill for an inaguration when he's already sitting in office? Maybe that's why my paycheck was short the first of the year!!!!
Why,
Because you have for EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT before him. How come it's ok for them and not for him? Got the guts to say?
And BTW, if you'd bothered to do your homework, most of the funds are actually coming from private contributions.
Exactly, why all the griping about this President doing what every other 2 term President before him has done? The events surrounding the actual ceremony, such as the parade and balls are paid for privately, not by the government. The government however has always paid for the actual ceremony for every Inauguration.
Your last paycheck was short because there was no way Congress would pass another extension of the payroll tax holiday which cut the Social Security tax rate from 6.2% to 4.2% for the last two years. It was not intended to be permanent. It would have helped the economy to extend it a short time longer, but the House never would have agreed to it.
Debbie, the inaguration is paid for mostly by private funds.......and by the way for you dimwits that always quote the Constitution.......it is required by the Constitution! Maybe you should someday read what your ilk is always quoting! But then, most of you can't read or if you can cannot comprehend it!
Debbie, if you don't know what you are talking about, and you obviously do not - why not do us all a favor and just stop talking, typing - or whatever else you do to try to communicate - your comment is beyond ignorant
Moronic...seriously moronic. Because it is how it is done, every president, regardless of terms. Any by the way, your paycheck is smaller by 2% because the Social Security tax "holiday" Obama put in place last year expired on January 1st. Read, listen and grow some knowledge will you.
Wonder if it was part of pork in the Sandy Bill
Which one is correct: Inauguration 2012 or 2013?
Who cares? It's a waste of money for the sitting Liar-in-Chief!
Shipwrecked... Would you say it's a waste of money had Romney been elected? And no, I don't like Obama either or Romney for that matter. I just can't believe how many of you repubs are going to wake up every day of your lives for the next 4 years in a miserable state. I'd like to see less polarization between parties and more team work for the betterment of the country. And when the next POTUS is elected and probably republican, the same would continue. Alas, I'm dreaming and stupid.
Jacoboo7: So let's have a government sponsored National Party Day when everyone, no matter where they are located, can join in. The government could pay for singers and rock bands in every major city, and, by Executive Order, the President could suspend all booze taxes for a couple of days.
The National moral would be greatly increased and workers would be more productive, excepting those who are too hung over to show up.
Now does that sound like a Republican idea or an Obama idea? DUH.
PS: What happened to the 21 gun salute.
What happened to the 21 gun salute.
I'm not sure, but I think that's just for funerals..
The Nation is not dead? Isn't this a wake?
Why are we going to waste all this money on this crap. He had is big show down penn ave last four years do we have to really do this again...really??
Who is going to watch this complete hope NBC shows all the pent up emotion and all the tears, believe me they are not tears of joy!
dave steven were you born this morning? Did you just move here from another country? Every time a president is elected or reelected, this inaugural tradition is part of the pageantry of an elected president for the USA. This has a history dating back from Geo Washington to Thomas Jefferson and a more reformed parade going forward with Pres James Madison 1809. Get with the program or stay un American
Dave Steven,
A lot of the funds is coming from private contributions. Don't you even bother to READ and UNDERSTAND?
dave steven - for many people, the tears of joy are real, very real. you would not understand it because you do not know your history, what it was like during the bus boycott, or black and white fountains, 2/3 of a person, the murder of Dr. King, President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy. you don't know what it was like when the Gov. of Mississippi stood proudly and announced Segregation today, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever. you don't know what it means to be have overcome so much pain and unfairness. you don't know how proud I am to be a old white lady from the South and have the honor of voting for this President and I am really sorry that you, in your ignorance and hate, are missing the joy of this moment.
I wonder if it will be too cold for the media to wear their cheerleading outfits? Maybe just bring their pom poms.
Give me an "O", give me a "B".....
I won't be wasting any time on it. I cut up my no-bama 2012 tee shirt into rags and I'm going to clean my assault rifles with it.
Ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'll bet the Secret Service is just shakin'. Big time warrior and wind bag cleaning his guns. WHO CARES? Your types could not cross the street without tripping.
He has to squat to pee, too.
I truly hope that the FBI, Secret Service, CIA and Homeland Security are monitoring these sites and that your name is coming up on the of the anti America fools who post such hateful things
First of all....if I was going to even watch this SHAMWOW party...(you know Obama..he never misses a party.) It clearly would NOT be with NBC, MSNBC or any other rag that is the OBAMA pravda for the Obama ShamWow so called president.
Impeach Obama? How's that workin' out for ya?
LOSER.......................................................
You poor little right wing gas bags. You really can't handle rejection.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Mr. President. That RINO cult leader will be watchin' and weepin all the way!
I have no intentions of watching this "Dictator in training" being sworn in again with his "glut slut" wife planning her next four years of vacations on our tax dollars. I have much better things to do, like taking out the garbage!
Bitter much, amerigal? And, to refer to the wife of the president of the United States as a slut - girlfriend, you have some issues. While you're thinking of better things to do, maybe you should consider booking an appointment with a mental health professional.
I don't care whop it is !!! This is not the time toe WASTE taxpayer money on a party.
Reading these mostly infantile, primarily ignorant and occasionally ugly comments about the inauguration of our duly and democratically re-elected president has inspired me to break with my usual attempt to be rational and reasonable and offer an in kind response. Here goes.......
If you aren't interested in the inauguration, turn off the TV (it probably could use a rest), load up and head out for a full day of random acts of vandalism starting with some warm up moving target practice on some stop signs on the way (there's nothing, NOTHING, in the Constitution which allows a socialist, communist gobmnt to infringe on your god given right to blow through intersections - doesn't matter that you're doing 80mph and horse and buggies could only do about 15mph), maybe knock over some mailboxes (gd overpaid quasi gobmnt lazy ass freeloading postal employees anyway - worse even than teachers!). Once you arrive at the dump you can spend the afternoon shooting at silhouette targets, junked cars, rats and seagulls and blowing up leftover pumpkins and frogs with m-80's. When you run out of ammo, keystone, possum jerky and twinkies, please drive safely on your return home, obeying speed limits and traffic signs at least until I get home safely too.
Sorry, just too much inspiration to resist. Seriously, lighten up people. Celebrate the fact that we select our leaders peacefully, even when things goes as awry as they did in 2000. Things won't change enough in the next four years to satisfy any of us, but we'll get through it.
You are the garbage!
Oh come on Dolly! You can do better than that!
Amerigal: I can fully agree! Obama's wife is indeed a glut slut. And so is her husband, for that matter.
What class you have, both Amerigal and IbuyChinese. Michelle Obama has more class in her little finger than you will ever have. I really wish people like you weren't allowed to vote.
And this is also happening on Martin Luther King day, talk about "Having a dream"......
Wow, that is some name calling. Ya, issues, big time.
I am not watching because I don't believe in his rule as part dictatorship, part liberal socialist, and lying about just about everything he promised, especially getting our sons and daughter of of the Middle East, in the first ruling of the White House. I see no difference in his second term.
He has spit in the face of the law when it comes to illegals, when to be an illegal, it's breaking the law. But he has stood on the side of the people breaking the law, instead of supporting the law on the books, and the people that are charged with enforcement of that law.
He secretly sent weapons to the terrorists in Syria. Then tried to cover it up. He has sent them weapons under the guise of support for the borders for Turkey. Had he stayed out of the civil war and not taken the terrorists side that war would have ended in a weeks time. The U.S. government recognized the current government and by supporting the terrorists, he broke every law written and unwritten when it comes to our government polices on other governments. But you never hear about that on any news channel. He has made the the leadership of this country look foolish.
So rather than support someone I don't think supports our military, the American tax payer, and not making even one consesson when it comes to the debt ceiling, I will watch anything else.
absolutely much ado about nothing! what an absolute waste. what a country
What a maroon. Speaking of you, of course. I am going to watch it, and post videos of it to white supremacist web sites, just so I can hear their collective teeth grinding. It should rule all.
Race-card playing MORON ALERT!!!! "kiss-kiss smooch smooch"(sound effects of what you do for Obamas backside).
He earned it... and he DESERVES it !! The greatest President we have ever had !! Congratulations ! Mr. President !!
No intelligent life here. I'm out.
One question or two. How much do these inaugural events cost the American taxpayers? And, if it is a second term president, why bother? It is not a new president, but someone continuing an old job. Think of the money we would save.
Makes me want to puke.
If it had not been for the idiot GOP pulling every stupid stunt they could fictionalize in their stupid brains in order to make President Obama a one term President. We may be Inaugurating the super moron Mitt Romney.
If Romney had been elected, just think about all of the moronic and hate-filled postings we would miss reading in articles like this. The name calling and insults and just plain stupid comments are amusing to say the least. Who needs SNL for laughs.
Gee Robin, how many govt. teats are you sucking on? Oops, maybe it isn't the teats.
For the love of God! All Obama bashers can stop the overblown, tiring sarcasm and criticisms any time now. We`ve heard it all before and we`re not impressed. No one is forcing you or even asking if you have an interest or want to watch the inauguration Monday. However, 800,000 expected in attendance do have an interest plus millions more tuning in, so you`re sorely outnumbered. So take out your trash, or rearrange your sock drawer. You won`t be missed.
What a pathetic collection of juvenile comments here. What are you, 12 maybe? All this vitriol and contempt over the innauguration of the President? Yeah, we know you're bitter about the election. Your guy didn't win! Your guy DIDN'T DESERVE to win. But for some reason you think your guy SHOULD have won simply because he was up against somebody you can't stand. Doesn't work that way, idiots. In the end, your guy has to have something, anything, to offer the American people. Turns out your guy had zilch, nada, nothing. Maybe you should gracefully grow up and suck it up and move on. Because, ya know, it's very annoying (and somewhat amusing) to see you holding your breath and stamping your feet until somebody gives you what you want. Get a platform, hell even a clue!
Mar-regret we will all be, as we know you will, be watching our televisions, to see exactly what our TAXES bought. Be it Obamas re-election(the billions of tax dollars Obama spent so he could appear to be Obama-claus to this Nation of "takers" who voted to keep their entitlements flowing).
Or some of us want to check out Moochells dress, again bought by taxpayer money, (like the $2400 number she wore to the last State of the Union address). We will all be watching with "baited breath", this "historic" extravaganza........AFTER ALL US WORKING FOLK PAID FOR IT WITH OUR TAXES.
Just as EVERY presidential inaugration before him.
What is your point? The fact that the gop didn't win and you simply can't handle it so you want to show how much of an idiot you are by not realizing that a presidential inaugration would have happened regardless of who won? And that it has happened for 200 years and it will continue to happen every 4 years regardless of who wins?
