My question...

Is the Innauguration a National Holiday in America? Because they are expecting loads there...

Reckon they should charge $10 entry fee, soon sort the finance system out (JOKE).

is he (obama) under pressure? my colleague suggested he was/is under loads but my slant was he can't do much worse than the pillock before him...

but that said, the honeymoon period will wear off quickly no doubt. be interesting to see how long it'll be before the african americans start giving him a hard time...

Can't wait. Best thing that happened in all of 2008 was Obama winning. Wish we could swap him for Goony Brown.

...and the disenchantment - apparently Bush quickly enacted a few statutes that are timed to hit the fan after he leaves - oooo, I shouldnt be so cynical, should I? *sarcasm dripping*

Expectations seem to be very high. Unrealistically so I think. Rome wasn't built in a day.

They're called midnight regulations. Amazingly Bush has made very very little. It was Clinton who was the daddy of these. He gave his Brother a pardon for Cocaine smuggling offences.... :rolleyes:

It's just that this man IS intelligent, and seems to strive for good in the world. Less can be said for his buddy W

true, and the worry is America won't give him time enough to prove that there ARE actually (well, OK, Ive met 3) americans that are intelligent & who give a damn about repairing all the damage.

Have you seen what he's got guarding him though?

An SUV mounted minigun (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YAZ2qvhJGgU), probably two

Just the kind of thing for subtle crowd control when everybody panics...

basically, its a long standing arguement between us two, based on a sf story that has armoured cars as a mode of life in america, and one of the upgrades the "typical" american dad was so pleased about was the

attached to his car. His son (who had a mini) died because mini's were only lightly amoured so he was out for revenge. Think Bronson meets Crash....heh.

Yes, I've been told me sense of humour is slightly west of insane :smt040

no, he's a black democratic candidate that won a US election, far less likely than being the messiah
