Barack Obama inauguration: world waits for the 17 minute speech
and
Inauguration speech will see Barack Obama urge his country to unite in a common resolve for 'renewing America's promise'
It's the little things, like leaking speeches. If the press already has the text of the speech, they don't need to bother actually turning up for the speech. And nobody else does either, so they start to disengage from the political process.
And of course, the hugely wasteful "Dubya" administration wasted a horrifying $40 million on Bush's second inauguration, causing Al-Jabeeba to fret endlessly about Bush's arrogance and misguided priorities. I'm sure they'll be frantic about The One spending $170 million on his coronation.
I'm telling you, this is going to be just like 1997 was for us: hope for greater "social justice" followed by massive increases in stealth taxation, wasted federal budgets, government by media management, mendacity and misdirection and finally total disillusionment.
America: welcome to our world!
Update: is this his Alistair Campbell?

Agreed -- it's Blair 2.0
Yeah but when Shakira's there it's money well spent. Her hips don't lie. Yum yum.
Pear Shaped, Tits Up, call it what you like but that's what it's going to go.
The man hasn't said anything of substance in two years of campaigning. Not being Bush is simply not enough. His inexperience and addiction to praise will, I fear, prove to be a disaster.
Give him a six month bounce then settle in for a shambles.
"The man hasn't said anything of substance in two years of campaigning."
Or in his time in the Senate either. Unless you count voting 'present', that is....
Actually, the $170 million figure was completely fabricated.
Have a read of this:

Do you suppose it's all a white supremacist plot? You know, get some half-black into the White House and have him fucke everything up so badly that they never need to worry about them uppity African Americans running for office ever again?
Did they get this idea from watching NuLiebore?

Funny that while many suggest there is a significant chance that he will be assassinated the historical figure he most wishes to be associated with is Abraham Lincoln.

Exactly what I have been feeling. I am very uneasy about Obama.
What are the odds that the teleprompter will commit hara-kiri in that 17 minutes?
Then we'll see the measure of the man...
America has a new President?
Oh, sorry, I hadn't noticed. When did this happen? Was it ever mentioned on the news?
;-)
Yeah, and you're correct... I feel so sorry for our American cousins, they have no idea what's about to happen to them.
@LFAT: I read it, I'm afraid I found the "deconstruction" a little half-hearted. But even if ABC have exaggerated it by 100%, it still dwarfs what "Dubya" pissed up against the wall.
I'm a little late to the party, Obo...but...fuck it...the OMM (that's Obama Mania Media) still haven't come down from sucking on The Messiah's ass fumes. They're so cracked-up, he could shut down all Iraq and Afghani operations post-haste, invite Hamas, Bin-Laden, and fuck-all assfuckers to the White House for brunch and STILL be a hero. I'm a fucking idiot for once having carried a press pass...I thought this kind of media shite belonged in Moscow....
