#1 See also DAILY TIMES.PK > OBAMA TAKES OATH AMID NEW THREATS, i.e. strifes at home + abroad, + not having the luster or inspiration of his 2008 campaign.

VERSUS

* FOX NEWS thiS AM > GOP AT LOWEST POINT IN DECADES, MAY BE FORCED TO RE-EVALUATE ITSELF.

OOOOOOO, thats a Purgin', ala Mensheviks-vs-Bolsheviks.

* IIRC SAME > FAILED, DISHONEST AMERICAN LEADERSHIP CLASS SEEN IN COLLAPSE OF POPULAR CELEBRITIES + SPORTS HEROES.

* GUAM PDN > WORLD: [Excessive]DEBT CRISIS THREATENS UNITED STATES.

VERSUS

* DAILY TIMES.PK > CHINA "STRONGLY DISSATISFIED" WID AMERICA'S ISLAND REMARKS, as made by SecState Hillary in support of JAPAN agz CHINA vee on-going Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands dispute.

A friend + I both agree that the Bammer is an Anarchist, albeit he believes Obama is a Purist widout agenda, while I believe that Obama is an Anarchist-for-Globalism/OWG - my friend also believes that, vee a bad US Economy, POTUS Bammer will find a way to declare Martial Law in the USA + stay in power as POTUS for a 3rd Term or more. I nominally agree, but IMO however severe US Econ Probs per se won't be enuff as the Bammer will likely have the significant support of to many PCorrect BETTER-SAFER-TO-BUST-THE-BUDGET/DEBT-CEILING-THAN-NOT-BE-REELECTED GOP-Right on any "QES" or "Stimulus" he attempts to enact. NO NEED FOR MARTIAL LAW IFF THE GOP-DEMS ARE GOING TO ALLOW THE BAMMER TO KEEP BUSTING THE CEILING(S).

A major Nuclear Crisis/Confrontation wid CHINA is the better condition for the Bammer to seemingly declare Martial Law in the US, espec iff China refuses to back down vee either Japan or the US.

TO AVOID A LIMITED OR FULL-SCALE NUCLEAR WAR, CHINA MAY DEMAND IMPORTANT + UNILATERAL TERRITORIAL CONCESSIONS VEE US ALLIES IN EAST ASIA, PERHAPS ALSO VEE THE US ITSELF.

"CONCESSIONS" THAT NEITHER THE AMER PEOPLE OR US OVERSEAS ALLIES WILL LIKE, I.E. LED TO INCREASINGLY ESCALATORY MASS PROTESTS + ARMED DISOBEDIENCE IN MANY US STATES + CITIES + WASHINGTON, + DESPITE THE BAMMER COUNTER-ARGUMENT THAT HE KEPT THE US "OUT OF [Nuclear]WAR"???

A Bammer 3rd term or longer is consistent wid my belief that the Bammer is an Anarchist-for Globalism/OWG, moreso iff none of the GOP-DEM POTUS Candidates come 2016 are themselves NOT Anarchists andor Globies.IMO THE BAMMER WILL NEED THE THIRD TERM OR MORE TO ENSURE THAT THE "NATIONALIST", "SOVEREIGN" USA IS DE FACTO UNDER THE GRIP OF "GLOBALIST", "ANTI-SOVEREIGN" OWG + OWG NAU???

#3 Any estimate on the cost to taxpayers of today's events in D.C. ?

#4 Yes, but the burning question on the morning news is what dress michelle's famous arms will wear. Seriously.

I'll prove it, and add to Besoeker's point. The selection started at twenty dress submissions. Each submission involves a top line designer putting together a design, manufacturing the dress. The dress is then sent to DC because they only work with a mannequin. In DC, michelle and entourage critique each dress, where comment and suggestions are delivered back to the designer with the dress. Changes are made, sent back to DC, where we will wait, anxiously as you are told, for which designer she will wear. The winning pick is expected to be worth $16million in endorsement business.

Add to that cost, the cost of paying people to research that story, put together a TV segment, and present it. That is just the danged ole dress, haven't even gotten to the shoes.

Probably another $10T unless Congressional Republicans grow a pair.

#9 I could hear the Myrlie Evers-Williams invocation from the next room. I began to feel my heart racing and neck veins bulging. At about the 1.7 minute point I could take it no longer and raced to the door. A 2 mile walk and petting the neighbor's dogs settled me down. My BP and pulse quickly returned to normal. I'm alright now; well, as alright for me goes under the current administration.

#11 Today's Denver Postpole had a photo of Michelle (arms covered) holding the family Bible as zero placed his hand on it for the private ceremony in the White House. Didn't that burn his hand?

#12 Has anyone noted the apparent composite look of the "bible" used in the private ceremony? Seen from the top, it appears to have several different color page sections and what might be a second binding, almost as if it was a book-in-a-book. If that were so, does anyone else wonder what that might portend? Curious, if only for the look of the image, and the need to have a private ceremony.

#13 A copy of "Dreams From my Father" no doubt.

#14 Interesting, NoMore. I blew up the image of the book, and it does indeed look weird - for a Bible or any other book.

As for the ceremony on Sunday, that's because the President has to be sworn in on/by the 20th of January. For some reason (undoubtedly NOT religious*), they didn't want to have the Inaguration on a Sunday, hence the private swearing-in.

*I suspect Bambi wanted to use the symbolism of the MLK holiday - not that he ever experienced discrimination (except the positive kind, since he was given everything all his life).

#19 Why did I not hear of this in civics class? Found this earlier this week and no one seems to be aware of this monumental event. Anyone remember learning about the 40's air bombing in Tulsa?

I thought so.

Another point of what's wrong with out gum't education today.

#20 I HEARD he screwed up the Oath, and it had to be renewed, I'd love to hear the screw-up. (Or was it, did he mmis-Quote it deliberately)

#21 Last term he screwed up the oath and they re-did it privately later. This year I think he just chose to be sworn in twice for the fun of it - once, as mandated by law, on the 20th, then again today for show, as part of the coronation proceedings.

#26 Lets just tell it like it is, he is such an arse, nevermind the mooslimb western Christian haters, when I even hear him begin to speak, I understand. An analogy: He is like a Cape Coloured: the Whites, (the West-Christian/sensible people) don't want him, the Blacks, (Muslims) don't want him, he's a fokken goffel.

#30 Heh, double-speak in kaffir. They always used to lie to one when asked how far to the nearest watering hole was, "pa douzi" = "really close" when in actual fact it was katchana-really far away. That was a laugh until we sussed they were lying, and then the war was on, which, thanks to the Dimmocrats in charge forced a political loss lost forever.

Why has this geezer not been done for F&F, let alone the Benghazi debacle, and how did the Hildebeast recover so quickly without a truncheon up her butt?
