Obama's Speech

[Hallow'sEve]

"For white to know what is right"
Made me a little uncomftorable >.>

Other than that, cool speech, like how he openly stated the problems.

 

[mokes310]

I thought it was very good. He took a couple jabs at Bush, which made me smile a bit. All in all, I'm very optimistic for the future

 

[Anarchemitis]

Maybe... maybe Amaerihkuh America isn't so bad after all...

 

[Arsen]

And all the sheeple still think he is some kind of god.
This kind of reminds me of another man...very similar to Obama...But he started world war II.

The guy who shot Archduke Ferdinand?

WW1 dumbass, unless you were being Sarcastic, or Sardonic as "Ambross Monk" would say.

P.S. Then I'll laugh at your comment and drink wine, like the 1/3 Britt I am!

P.S.S. Or is that the French that drink wine?

P.S.S.S. Come to think of it, what do Britts drink?

Technically speaking he did start WW2. WW1 was the starting point of all the drama which would defeat Germany, thus causing WW2.

No shit, really? Think a little.

 

[Meanmoose]

Do not ever compare anyone to Hitler, its makes you look like an idiot.

He's not comparing Mr. Obama to Hitler. He's comparing their oratorical abilities. And they both had plenty.

Hitler was better.
There, I said it.

(Obama will probably be a better leader for his country overall, though.)

Hehe. You may be right. The way hitler manipulated so many people was quite amazing, but I dont think their suited for the american 2009 average Joe...just the 1930s average Hans or something.

 

[Limos]

Nonbelievers were included in the list of different kinds of people. It's a nice change from the President calling us "Not Real Americans".

Seriously.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

To be honest nothing Gordon Brown does is ever exciting... he has to be one of the dullest leaders ever.

Oh c'mon, John Major was far more dull.

Technically speaking he did start WW2. WW1 was the starting point of all the drama which would defeat Germany, thus causing WW2.

No shit, really? Think a little.

I've often felt that WW1 was more to do with the British Empire's growing dependence on oil over coal conflicting with Germany's new Berlin-Baghdad railway which would have provided their empire with a direct link to the largest handy source of the lifeblood of industrial civilisation while leaving the Brits running to keep up- clearly an unacceptable situation which they solved by *drumroll* invading Iraq and kicking out the German-friendly government.

Sorry, what were we talking about again?

Oh yeah. I haven't seen the speech but I will look it up on Youtube later tonight. I did see him fluff the oath, which made me smile- we've all been there. My final year project was looking for 7-hydroxymatairesinol in sitka spruce wood samples, and despite its length I never tripped up on the word until my final presentation where I stood up before the class, my tutor and all the lecturers and said "My project was concerned with the extraction and purification of 7-hajudufudubudebum." Different scale, natch, but still

I wouldn't want to be him tomorrow morning when he opens his post/email, but well done to him nonetheless and I hope he does well for all you folks across the pond.

not a bad speech, but not as good as his other ones. i blame roberts for trying to run through the oath too fast.

lowery's benediction was a much better speech and poem, imo.

 

[Sindaine]

Actually the man giving the oath got it wrong--Obama waited for him to correct it.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

As someone watching it from a British point of view, I thought it was very very good and kind of wish we had a leader of similar charisma.

Agreed.
I can't imagine people getting as excited about a speech by Gordon Brown, put it that way.

True. But I just don't believe anything that vampire David Cameron says. twas a good speech.

 

[MercenaryCanary]

I didnt get to see it (school gets in the way of so much of my life) if someone could be so kind as to give a recap of what was said I would realy appreciate it.

Same here.

 

[neoman10]

very good, hope he will have a good 4 years in office

 

[axia777]

It was the best speech I have heard in the last eight years.
