Hello, everybody. I have an important political announcement to make.

As you all know, President-elect Barrack Hussein Obama, having won his position much the same way that President John Fitzgerald Kennedy did*, will be sworn in on Tuesday, at 12:00 Eastern Seaboard Time, on the steps of the Capitol Building. Two to three million people may attend...

And I will be one of them.
Yes, on Sunday, I will be flying out of Spokane Airport, connecting in Minneapolis, and then continuing on to Baltimore. I will then spend a week in Washington DC, touring the Smithsonian Museum, the Holocaust Museum, the monuments in Washington, and Arlington National Cemetery. This has cost me quite a bit of money, and I didn't even vote for the guy, so I plan on enjoying every single moment of this trip. I will also be taking LOTS of pictures and keeping a journal, which will be posted over at Broken Line Studios.

Thank you, comments are welcome. And NO JOKING ABOUT KILLING THE PRESIDENT!!!
I didn't vote for him, I think he will be terrible for America, but I DO NOT WANT THIS CRAP coming up when the Secret Service searches for terrorist threats.

*Through good looks, force of personality, and media bias.

lol
Hope you enjoy it

DC is a great place... I really loved the architecture and the Mass Transit system, which was always cool during the summer and going up teh escalators was like going up some sort of launch tube

Have fun, and I agree with you on everything. Obama may be bad, but shouldn't be killed.

I think you're really missing the importance of all these things. John Kennedy was one of the most well-liked presidents in out history. He gained the support of not only the United States' population, but also that of many foreign nations.

Well spoken presidents are good for our image, and our image is important. We are THE world power. We can't have too many people hating us if we want to maintain that position.

I do find it funny though, that the same people defending bush and pushing the blame to congress are acting as if our new president is somehow omnipotently, powerfully, evil.

Barrack Obama would not have been my first choice, but he is the best of the achievable. I think we all knew Ron Paul wouldn't win.

Anyways, have fun on your trip. Have fun witnessing the inauguration of the messiah.

bush was bad and he wasn't...


is dc where the cool flute guy plays, in a park.

if it is, you should try to find him XD

Thank you Bill O'Riley...

He actually bears A LOT more resemblance to the anti-christ than the messiah. Read revelations, there's some very interesting similarities.

DC sucks... ive been there like 80 times...


too bad I'm at school right now... you would be within 40 minutes of my house

1. that's really cool rasq, I hopes you have as much fun as i did when i went (even though for some reason half the stuff was either closed, under construction, or not available to the public anymore[security after 9/11])

2. stop trying to pick a fight, recon

Where was I picking a fight?

Seriously, rasq said Obama was a bad thing for the country. Now that's what I call picking a fight!

I see what you did there, but Bill O'reilly is extremely conservative

hmph

I just don't like ur almost constant remarks about it.

its funny how Bill Clinton was impeached but left office with the highest approval ratings of any president, and bush stayed in and is leaving office with the lowest approval ratings of any president

DC will be hell.... to many people good luck

hope obama doesn't get assasiated as I have predicted.....*imagines DC nuked*

lol, it's true

Oh, and it's the last weekend before Obama comes to power and the world ends! Make it a good one.

:zom1:

Have fun in DC. I did. And I highly suggest the metro.

don't ride the metro


you'd be better off walking this weekend




talked to my dad today and he said the metro is the busiest he has ever seen it.... he takes it to work every day.

I believe its predicted that the anit-christ will be coming from europe, not fucking america



kinda shoots down shit right there

In what ways? (honest, serious question of curiosity)

good point, especially with an inauguration and all...

Is it OBAMA??

Remember, dud said that he resembled the anti-christ more than the messiah. He did not say he is the anti-christ, nor do I believe that.

Obama's not a muslim.

and someone can't be of "muslim decent" either, seeing as it's a religion, not an ethnicity.
(ethnicity is the right word to use here right?)

Not sure I'll be going through the metro, but it will be interesting if I do. We don't have subway systems where I come from, and I have a pretty negative image of them.

Agreed. I'll support him, for the most part, but I won't agree with him, for the most part.

Oh, dear.

Did you not see the part where I said MEDIA BIAS?

In addition, John Kennedy was popular, but so was Micheal Jackson and so is Prince. We remember Kennedy and his 'Camelot,' but we do not remember his inability to work with Congress.
It's probably appropriate to mention that I am not a fan of the Kennedy Crime Family. Daddy was a criminal, and his kids all followed in his footsteps, especially Bobby and Teddy.
The firstborn, Joeseph, was probably the most honest of the bunch. Pity he was killed... in a bloody accident!

ReconToaster wrote:Well spoken presidents are good for our image, and our image is important. We are THE world power. We can't have too many people hating us if we want to maintain that position.

True, but they need substance to back it up. And one of our greatest presidents, Thomas Jefferson, was worse than George Bush at public speaking.
Now, were George Bush a great speaker, YOU would be complaining that "All he is is a good speaker," because you do not agree with his policies.

So that is what we're trying to get across here. Obama did win because of slanted media attention and good speeching. Now, compare Obama's nomination speech and John McCain's nomination speech. If John McCain had been a better speaker, he would have made the race MUCH closer, possibly even won.

I do find it funny though, that the same people defending bush and pushing the blame to congress are acting as if our new president is somehow omnipotently, powerfully, evil.

You liked him too, huh?

ReconToaster wrote:Anyways, have fun on your trip. Have fun witnessing the inauguration of the messiah.

I'll try. But you just had to bring religion into this, right? This is, if not anything, a political discussion.

That always buggered me. Bush completely avoided the Twenty Year Curse, even though he is one of the most unpopular presidents since Hoover.
Every twenty years, since President Lincoln, the President who wins the election has been killed by an assassin. Reagan broke this when he survived... but nobody tried it on Bush.

Well, I've never been there, so it's new to me.
And if I was to meet you, you'd have to drive up there.

And yet you believe that the Universe just... appeared... inflated from a superdense particle that floated in out of nowhere, bringing time and space along with it.
Oh, and you also believe in String Theory, which for all of it's mathematical beauty... cannot be tested.

Bugger, no?

That event changed my life more than anything.

Then my "fantasy genre" counterstatement was just "friendly Protestant banter."

And by saying that I believed Obama was going to be bad for the country, I invited a political debate, not a theological one. I hope you respect that.

Harry Truman left office and was considered to be a failure. Look at him now... Give 'em Hell, Harry!
Eisenhower was considered to be an ineffectual president... but when the Soviet Union fell, and we found out how much he did... He was perhaps the most important President of all.
LBJ, that filthy rat, left office reviled... and now he's considered to be... neutral.

I get the feeling that W. will be somewhere around LBJ's status.

I'm imagining something more along the lines of a 777... or a military coup...
I severely doubt the last one, but it would be fascinating to watch in action...

Hey, KrAzY, you don't think you could help with that, could you?

I plan on smearing blood on my mouth and letting a little dribble down my chin... that should get me some room, right? Or is that the way most commuters look?

Iraq, actually.

We use 'Antichrist' much in the same way liberals use 'Hitler'.

Let's not forget the fact that he will seem to perform miracles and be supported by the 'beast from the sea'.
Incidentally, I've heard talk that Hillary Clinton would be the Antichrist, as she was supported by Bill, and Bill was in the navy...
But most of the candidates, including Obama, fail the full test.
