Obama Inaugural Celebration We Are One Lincoln Memorial HBO

[fivequotes]

is he a great president? asking from phil

[georgeharper1]

Yeah, thanks to REPUBLICAN President Abraham Lincoln, who began the civil right s movement.

[auntietyranny]

hes not the devil, but hes an employee

obama zombies are idiots

[trinimirage]

Mr.Obama is not the devil!! Patrick Manning- the prime minister of trinidad and tobago is

[soldner234]

Just another mouthpiece in the mold of Jimmy Carter.

[bellhouseboy]

I cant wait

This Barack Obama is going to fuck up big time

Hes all talk & no do

Its another manella,lets all vote for the man who has no experience at all & the watch her ruin a great country.

USA you are fucked for the next 4 years all because you thought it would be cool to have a black guy in charge

YOU MUPPETS

[Haoasakura77777]

Lol ''her''

[bellhouseboy]

tee hee

[lingqi1985]

Why was music of all singers at inauguration fake?

[bellasongstress]

It's too cold to sing in that kind of weather. Or play, for that matter.

[Thunderthor1988]

You idiots he is not a "black" president, he is as much a "white presient" as he is "black" one, its 50-50. You do know that his mother is white, right? and that he was raised by his white grandmother. and educated at Harvard Law school. the only thing that is "black" about Obama is his skin...which is still lighter in complextion than some "white" people. So get over it "black" america. you can't exclusively champion him. he is as much our, president as he is yours.

[rhs6520]

Ron Paul is cool,just to conservative for liberal america.Alan Keyes is black and black america(im white/black)ignores him.america wants a liberal as president thats why Obama won

[Beskargam]

Or, ya know, it could have been that most Americans only pay attention to candidates that the media covers, and so they chose what they viewed as the lesser of two evils.

[45abcdefg4545]

It's nice to see all the rich hollywood elite and other useful idiot snobs so happy they will finally have power over the masses through their new house negro. Good job nancy pelosi. the middle class will soon regret this day. as we relive some of jimmy carters failures.

[PackageSeverance]

what class are you in

[tariknyc]

obama is prez yes finaly

[CKastelein]

what is the song's name?

[JAMIE6SUPERSTAR]

i just saw ignagration he was like a fucking king or somthing the new age is here

peace 666

[pinkflutegirl12]

I'm not crazy about Obama, and I used to not be able to stand him at all, but maybe he'll make a difference somehow. This is historic anyway, and we should all feel good that we are the generation that's a part of it, right?

[BecominglikeJESUS]

Im glad its God who is really in control!!!!

[peacenikkle]

to BUSH; LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE .GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT.YOU WERE A FAKE A FRAUD AND A DISASTER.

[boxeranders]

He is nothing like Lincoln period. We can only hope this will end before it gets started. PLEASE!

[biped19]

This dude has ONE year to make some policy changes. So far he is failing even before he is in the door.

[dilostondiuqil]

biped19

good comments, i bet your one of the avid fans of BUSH & DICK...the real life-size beavis and butthead.

the way your thinking is that you like the USA under the bush administration more than the new administration under obama.

nice choice though being a bush relic fan and a critic to others...hehehe

[biped19]

You bet wrong douchebag. I'm a political atheist. I don't bow down to "leaders", especially if I'm supposed to consider them cool because they are beige. I identify myself as a liberal and NOT a neo-liberal, which you seem to be. Furthermore, the substance of your rely was poor at best, and does nothing to address the points that I've made.

[dilostondiuqil]

your a political athiest and liberal.... so whats your point then?

that you have what it takes to be a president and they're not? and that you have all the cards to pull america through these fucking times and they dont have? ... if thats the case, why dont you share your fucking ideas to help america rather than letting it rot in that coconut brain of yours and criticizing all political leaders that are squeezing their brains out for solutions. give the man a chance to prove himself first.

[biped19]

Liberalism is an ideology a way of thinking, NOT a party. Get with it. And guess what, YOU have what it takes to be president. This is the problem with America. These politicians get way too much credit for what they are. This was a system of government that was supposed to be lead by common citizens and not political and elites subservient to corporations and banks. What is Obama solution?? What is his record?? Show, don't tell me. As for my solutions...stay tuned.

[ladymvjackson]

you dont have anything else or do or better to say because you have no ideal what your talking about...just stupid....

[biped19]

In Adendum: His election IS historic for this nation, espcially for african americans who rightfully feel a sense of vindication. The only white people who voted for him are a desperate/confused american population and the neo-liberal "I'm special and hip because I'm voting for a black guy" college students.

[biped19]

By the summer the obamatons will be the last to resist reality. obama is just another DLC democrat, a corporatist, an empty suit. He has shown his true colors with his criminal appointments of clintonites and wall street insiders. Welcome to the coming depression. It's ok obamatons leave "thumbs down." Because in the end, you will be the ones with thumbs up your own asses. Talk about bigotry...Voting for a guy just because he is half black.

[dilostondiuqil]

KeanuReeeves...

The Last Day of the Bush Error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat a dick Bush got back to Texas where u belong!

[faasttass]

It can talk the talk but can it walk the walk

[jay22dawg]

I love his explanation of what the inauguration/celebration will be like. He gave this speech for all the dumb, never voted in my life, only voted for him because hes black, Hillary/Palin will make a great VP, politically ignorant idiots whos responcible for electing this tallentless, know-nothing, baby killing, constitution killing, son of a bitch!

[Gotchasucka]

jay22dawg: You're stupid! Get a life!

[KeanuReeeves]

kewl we elected a black guy, too bad he doesnt have any character....i feel all warm and fuzzy about the change, they are about to inaugurate the baby killing antichrist ! i need a shit!

[pintoboy1234]

This pinko commy sensorship web site will not post comments derogatory towards obama...WTF?

[pintoboy1234]

obama sucks

[sublet86]

I think JFK was the last one to say, "not ask what your country can do for you; but what can you do for your country". Look at what cost our country the most over head & stop it. (exploring Mars is not my priority)! It just seems to me, we have been like a dog chasing our own tail! Were busy but nothing + gets done in time to improve the future! I spoke with the state congress and others with no results in 6 months.

[isk8nflip4urox]

obama's a terrorist

[KeanuReeeves]

obama is a goofball

[KelferMookie]

Why do people still talk about Obama being black? I think we know that now... Just STFU and let the man be president.. you Fucktards.

[hunnykay]

You guys are forgetting a few things.... People WANT to attend a big inauguration, especially because he's the first black president. I'm Canadian, but I would have voted for him, not because he's black, but because he has a good head for politics, he's inspiring and aims to do good. Which is something that alot of leaders are lacking these days. Good for him. I think he'll do well.

[ratm3413]

He voted for the FISA bill doesn't anyone have a problem with that? He is just a puppet for the new world order, he'll have the same foreign policy war mongering that mccain would have. Check out infowars. com

[lvnthen]

Hey you are right!! He has a good personality and aims to do well. What was I thinking when I voted based on substance? Why did I consider whether or not I felt he would good for my country. He has dark skin so that should have been good enough for me. This country will only realy reach a historic point when we vote in a TRULY black president with kinky hair, flat nose, big lips and both parents descended from slaves. Not a lily white Mom and a foreign father.

[BLCalifornia]

> Americans better wait and see what this clown tries to pull before giving him any praise.

> Judge the content of his character -- so far it doesn't look too good.

[frenchCOCKSUCKERSgay]

they say we are one then why is it a black thing with obama and blacks ? lol ha

[cecil360]

You are very fortunate to have such a leader - and we are thrilled you chose him. I recently travelled across your fair country on Greyhound busses; San Fran, Salt Lake, Denver, Chicago, Washington, New York. So kind and welcoming. But the amount of poverty! Only in India had more people asked for money. I hope you and Obama find a better way to share your wealth. While paying attention to our fragile planet! For others often look to your example. All the very best for the future. (Australia)

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

Excellent point. He is "very popular" and more publicity shouldn't be the priority.

Wasn't it FDR who chose "to scale back on the the cost of one of his inaugurations" (correct me if I'm wrong), because doing so sent the proper message to the people during the hard economic times of the Depression?

I just think that Obama "scaling back a bit" for this celebration, would have sent a tremendously positive "message to the people" during this economic crisis. Maybe he forgot about FDR?

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

My intention was not "anger" in any way whatsover. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

But if you "read" comments further down, you'll see that I'm just as curious about the cost of the big party, as you are. I'm agreeing with you: "$150 million is no chump change" for the big party. Once again, WHO is going to pay for that?

But, I also did "read" that you labeled him the "first African American president".

[katracho725]

Oh, sorry about that too, and the money is coming from his left over campaign budget, but still is way too much, in the times we are in. I can't believe he would do such a thing, he really doesn't need any extra publicity.

[Gotchasucka]

The republican partied for 8 yrs at our expense and no one complained. So stop raining on this man's parade. All you haters need to get a life!

[talkingtwelve]

the same people pay for it who paid for bushes. do you think he's cost any less than this one?

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

Bush's was (according to media reports) $42 million.  So yes, "his" was less.

[frenchCOCKSUCKERSgay]

it could be obama's last day tomorrow !

[frenchCOCKSUCKERSgay]

obama is half white ! :) also you notice they dont say his middle name ! lol ha hussien

[lvnthen]

So he is the "First African American President". Is that why so many people voted for him - because he is black-? Sounds racist to me, coming from people that have made a career of calling other people racist.(the so called civil rights activists) He has yet to show any substance, just paints a big picture of a rosy future. I didn't vote for him but I have no choice, at this point, except to hope he can do something good for USA, besides being "The First Black President". Thats not substance

[KeanuReeeves]

kewl we elected a black guy, too bad he doesnt have any character....i feel all warm and fuzzy about the change, they are about to inaugurate the baby killing antichrist ! i need a shit!

[awsomeasian94]

i love how you're such a poser.

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

First "African American" president? Is he African American or is he "bi-racial"? Isn't he half Black and half White? Hasn't he, himself, said that he's a "mutt"? He wouldn't be the first US bi-racial president (Google it).

Whatever the answers are to those questions, it really shouldn't matter. Because this shouldn't be "about race" in the first place.

It should be about his great qualifications as the leader of the USA. Whether he's green, yellow, or purple really doesn't matter.

[katracho725]

So he is not the first half African American president? This is what happen when people don't read, what's all the anger about? In no way, shape or form am I talking about his qualifications or what color he is. I really could give two shits. I am responding to Ghostlypapaya about why in the world is he spending 150 million dollars on, what we can technically call, a party.

[katracho725]

Why are people so touchy on race, I guess you cant call some one African American, or Latino or Asian, I forgot its againt the United States Constitution. Please shut up, read, analyze, then make a comment on the topic people are talking about. This is why America is the way it is, either is racist or people like you, who jump with anger when talking about race. I don't care what color you are, I am of mixed race, so it would be hypocritical of me to be otherwise.

[katracho725]

Ok, so why does he need to have all those artist performing? Its not the Superbowl? He could make it simple, waste less money, still have a gathering, and make a stronger point by setting an example. What I am trying to say is 150 million dollars, that no chump change. He doesn't need to do all this to stay revelant and cohesive, he already has that, even the less technological advance nations know he's the president and first African American president.

[hunnykay]

You're forgetting that people want to be there...they want to celebrate with him. Some of those performers volunteered or requested to be involved because they believed in the cause, they believed in Obama and what he had to offer America. You belittle the entire thing by being so confrontational and antagonistic. It's a historic moment which people desired to be a part of.

[rhs6520]

most people who voted for obama especially the young people know nothing about him at all except for what they hear him say on tv.they know nothing.all they know his that he keeps saying "change" all the time.

[MagicMovieMoments]

Once you go black, you'll never go back!

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

And, we are about to have the most expensive Inauguration ceremony in history. WHO is going to be paying for "that"?

[katracho725]

If you can't spend the money legally, donated, don't feed people that bullshit that's all he can use that money for. Thanks Mr. President for make it clear that he prefers to party first, and tackle the problems later, or hope they would magically disappear by giving clever speeches.

[GhostlyPapaya]

He donated his own money and time. Didn't see him on Thanksgiving?

[katracho725]

It's technically not his money, like you said he can only use it for this purpose. So why not lose it, and I am pretty sure that money would not disappear if he doesn't use it for the inaugural ceremony. You not getting the point, you must set the example as the leader of this nation. Im pretty sure he can do without the party. Just answer one question for me, do you think anything slightly, remotely beneficial is coming from this? Please tell me. The guy doesn't even have his cabinet ready.

[GhostlyPapaya]

The only thing good that comes from this is celebrating everyone that supported him, voted for him, donated to him, etc. and to attempt to bring the nation together through the publicity. I'm sure ppl will see it just to see where the money went. I think, I'm not positive, but if he doesn't use it, it is used for future democratic campaign (so frozen for 4-8yrs, or until someone leaks it to his/her personal account.

[GhostlyPapaya]

The cost is mostly for all the people he has as guests. The guestlist represents the entire country. There is at least one person/group on there that anyone can relate to. He needs this to stay relevent and cohesive.

[NewChristianSoldiers]

I wonder how much Springstein was paid to do this because you know he didn't do it for free! Why would Obama rathar spend over $100 million on this inauguration than help all those poor families in Southern California who lost their homes from sub-prime loans and now have to live in tents!? It is sad that so many Americans have lost their jobs and their homes forced to live on the street and Obama spends this kind of money just to party. What a waste, this is totally disgracefultg

[yomolove]

Stop Bitchin' I bet he has spent less money than the previous idiots... People need to get back into the meet of things. And do for themselves... I know now that I cannot spend like a rock star anymore... So I have downsized everything. Stop Crying and change a life, Why wait on obama to do it.... start with you... start small.

Love yomolove

[pavijangp]

Goodbye George !

Hello Obama !!!

wow star studded

Love Obama!!

History In The Making! 09

[chika20505]

where can we watch it?

[SixTrey94]

HBO is doing a rebroadcast.

[katracho725]

What's all the hype with Obama? I really can't get it. Has he done anything yet for this country? Most people like him because it's the "hip" thing to do. The country is in economic turmoil, and the expected cost of the inaugural ceremonies is about 150 millions dollars. Does that seem like a logical thing to do in such grave times? Boy, is he setting down an example from the get-go. Let's remember one thing, the problems we are facing as a country today can't be fix with speeches.

[borderline1988]

i completely agree. same thing with the 2 candidates funding...Obama spent more than a billion dollars on his campaign..all the while preaching this and that and showing off how he only drives one car, blah blah.

We are gonna be in for a tough economic year in 2009 no matter what, whether its mccain, bush, or obama in office. People should realize that hes not the messiah. He hasnt even done one thing yet, and we think hes the greatest president ever. yikes

[mebaran]

Nobody thinks he's the greatest President ever...they think he's the most groundbreaking President ever. The way I see it, nobody can make judgements, including you borderline, about him until he has been in office for 4 years. I consider myself a supporter of him, but then again, I support any President in office. If in 4 years after his term is over I feel he did a bad job, then so be it. But until then, I'm standing by his side.

[borderline1988]

i didnt cast any judgements..on the contrary, im deferring my judgement and i completely stand behind my president...

I just dont understand how people think hes already the messiah of the US..we gotta wait and see

[GhostlyPapaya]

The money is left over from his campaign. It isn't tax payer money and it can't be spend (legally) on anything else. Pass this info around. I feel like a damn baby-sitter talking to uneducated people like you (uneducated on this subject).

[katracho725]

It really doesn't matter where the money is coming from. It's about setting the example. Why would you spend $150 million dollars on a celebration? Is it really that important considering what the country is going through? Does it seem fair to you that much money is going towards, lets call it what it is a party, while millions can't even afford to eat. Nothing beneficial is coming from this, we already know his the president, big whoop.

[GhostlyPapaya]

He legally can't do anything with it besides this. Either use it or lose it. People like you criticize him for being socialist, but then try to tell him what to do with his own money! Hypocrit much?

It would be great if he could use this money for other means, but he can't. The donars gave him this money for this reason, let him have his time.

[sadieaugust]

I guarantee you that Abraham Lincolon's soul was not happy today or the next day or even Tuesday for that matter. From within the statue of Lincolon, his spirit screamed out, "What in God's name did I do?! The people that I freed are fixing to destroy this beautiful country."

Obama is so stupid, out of all the presidents, he goes and choses to be compared to the two presidents that got shot; Abraham Lincolon and John F. Kennedy. This is a down right ignorant president-elect.

[Jamonts]

I am black and the racist things you say only make black people hate white people more... and thats what Im trying to stop but you make it so hard... idiot... GO CrAWL UNDERbed and sleep with the buggy man... u ugly stupid azz beast... I bet ya illetrate azz dont even know much about Lincoln nor Obama.... lets see wat happens when Obama does BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK UP...

[Jamonts]

U are so immature... I hope that you fail at everything you do starting right after you read this message... because of all the stupid things that you have said...

[katracho725]

Who are you referencing to?

[MapmakerinDC]

Kiss my McNugget!

[hunnykay]

You shouldn't look at it as Obama comparing himself to two presidents who were assassinated, but that he strives to do the good that they both did. They were both great leaders, and died because of it. That's not something ignorant, not at all.

[KKnott31]

You are disgusting.

[whiteandgreen1983]

the best: Shakira!!!

[wh4tever84]

Whats this song playing, cant find it?

[SixTrey94]

It is just an instrumental. Look in the info for creator site.

[HaoleSteve]

I am proud to be american again. I'm an american expat, and it is great to have to have true american as a president!!!!

[AlexCullenTaraHale]

im so happy for you Barack Obama! good luck in the white house!!

[BluesmanCV]

Don't forget the Derek Trucks Band!!!!! I voted for McCain, but I'm SOOO happy the President Obama is making this public. He's showing his true colors, and they're great. Can't we stop arguing now??? Geez guys. He's the president. Get over it. I did, and I'm happy. We all want this country to be great, I pray this man can make it happen!

[pavijangp]

@ BluesmanCV

Dude, that`s the right attitude !!!!!

I`m impressed, thumb up !

[BluesmanCV]

Thanks man. It's not that I agree with all of his policies, I disagree with many of them. But I can do so in a respectful way, the right way. I see all of these comments about how people are finally proud again, I don't understand how they lost that pride. The country hasn't changed, the same majority that voted Obama in voted Bush in for two terms. I just believe that the president of the United States deserves more respect, and the country deserves CONSTANT pride, no matter who the leader is!

[pavijangp]

Goodbye George !

Hello Obama !!!
