What did you think? I thought it was amazing and inspiring. I'm so happy he is finally our president.

i couldnt watch cuz i was at softball practice, but a friend of mine said that people were singing "nananana nananana hey hey hey. goodbye" when Bush came out/was out (im not sure). but seriously? can people get any more rude and childish? i mean, COME ON! even if you hated him, he WAS STILL OUR PRESIDENT! whether you liked his choices or not, he WAS the leader of our country. i mean, i dotn really like Obama, but i would never boo him or anything like that. i think thats just rude, and the people who did it are just jerks.
I have to agree, Vivian. Even though I have never liked Bush and am immensely happy to see him go, he does deserve a little bit of respect on his final day.
what happened to people showing respect because of a title? I thought Bush was a good president considering the circumstances of the last couple of years
I think Bush was an absolutely terrible president and I am so happy that I finally have a president I can be proud of.
OBAMA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't really like Obama. I'll wait and see what he does in office before I make to many opinions about him, though. I know that I don't agree with some of his policies though
thanx, no one else here seems to. what more could anyone have done in his place?
Bush was one of our worst presidents of all time. And hopefully, Obama will be one of the best. He's already shutting down Gitmo, after all this time of Bush allowing torture...
ok. wait. Dean, you cant be criticizing other people's spelling. check back on some of your posts in this group and you have a whole crapload of obvious spelling errors also.
watched itfirst, i thought obama screwed up, but then i heard cheif justice screwed up so i don't know much about that
it kinda bothers me how he always pauses in his speeches, but it was a pretty good speech, even if i wasn't always sure what he said cuz he used big words and the internet connection was crappy
I thought it was a good speech, but he so snubbed Bush right there in from of him. What a total jerk, he doesn't know much about respect. Plus, we get all worked up about how Sept. 11 was "supposedly" a conspiracy, and of course, we have to blame everything on somebody other then the bad guys, so we chose Bush. But, you know, have there been any other terrorist attacks since that day? You've got to give Bush some credit, I mean come on!
Iraq had nothing to do with it. That war was not needed at all, a huge waste of money and lives.
Yeah, SUCH a waste to free people and give them a government like ours.
It really shows how much we helped them by how many of them want us to get out. It's weird how that works out.
ok, while looking for nuclear weapons, we messed up iraq, so that was a mistakethat i WILL admit
so now after that, we're trying to get iraq back on it's feet
just like if you knock someone down, you help them back up (or i hope you would...)
but i agree that people blame bush for things he never did which just makes me mad too
Well, Iraq was pushing out our inspectors, plus, the terrorists were meeting there, really, we're just ridding the world of an evil And, don't trust the media, they give such a one-sided view. You can't trust what they say is going on over there.
well it wasn't all badwe got sadam out didn't we?
iraq is a hell of a lot better then it used to be
Yes, Dean, there were terrorists there. And yes, we thought they had nuclear or chemical bomb type things, so we went in. Here's something the normal media isn't telling you: The Iraqis, the average Joe Iraqis, they're super happy we're there, they don't want us to leave.
ok on thinking that nuclear weapons were thereNEWS FLASH: So did the whole world
and god, i hate the media now
just shut up and give me the damn facts
Dean! You're listening to the media! Some people from Iraq sent President Bush a letter telling them they were so glad we're there, and they didn't want us to leave! And, if getting Osama is SO easy, as you make it out to be, then by all means, YOU go get him.
And, it's nice you have confidence in your American troops. News flash: We are winning.
well i dunnobut i heard that terrorist activity has been REDUCED to 1/10
just everyone wants to be pessimistic so they only show the bad things that are going on
that's why you shouldn't listen to the media.
We are not "winning." At this point, we can't "win." This whole war was a waste and I'm glad to finally have a president who realizes it.
By the way, I was horrified when they hung Saddam Hussein. I can't believe we still hang people. Give him life in prison.

After what he did? How can you say that!?
it depends on what you think as 'win'well the win im more thinking about is fixing iraq so yeah, i think we're winning
and on hanging him? he deserved it
he killed thousands and tortured/hurt more
the way he died, that was a small price to pay
I do not believe any one should have to die. I know he was a terrible man, he did terrible things and killed hundreds. But he still did not deserve to be hung in public. It's just horrible.
you know, he had a debt to pay to society for torturing and killing thousandsnow personally, that debt should have been torturing for at least a month and then finally killing (then he would know how wrong what he did was)
but NO we just had to kill him once painlessly
how disappointing...
I don't support torture. There is hardly any cases I can think of where it would be acceptable. It's just disgusting.
when it is due, sometimes i believe it is justhe got of WAY easy people
he should be GLAD he was just hung and got it all over with
i bet there were tons of other people who had even worse things planned for him if they got the chance
I feel bad for him, honestly.
if he doesn't let innocent people have the chance to live, then he doesn't deserve the chance to live eitherthat's what i think and that's why i support the death penalty when needed
But by killing him, doesn't that put us on his level?
no, he did his things because he hates us and because he's a terrorist, and that's what he does. We did ours as punishment.
Erin: you dont think that if he had the chance, that he would have hung you? I think he would have. If the situation was turned around, you would agree with Diana.

-i no this was a while back but i wasn't in this topic
-tnx u vivian
-dean: i multitask, so i do not spell everything out. but if u prefer me 2, i will. *shrug* but really, just bcuz some1 uses im spelling, does not say anything about how informed/uninformed they r. or anything @ all in general.
im not on his level as long as i don't kill INNOCENT peopleand that bastard was nowhere near innocent
My religion teaches compassion. I try to be compassionate for even the worst of people. And he was one of the worst. But he did not deserve to die.
well i don't bring religion into everything and forgiveness will only go so far for me
diana, ur starting 2 convince me.... (again, i will stop using im grammar/spelling if some1 objects 2 it....)
I just don't think that we should put ourselves on his level.
we're not on his level until we start murdering innocent peoplehe knew we were going to kill him and he took lives of others
those who take lives, shall have theirs taken as well!
but still...ppl should not administer the death penalty lightly....
I'd feel bad for him if he felt sorry, but honestly, he totally deserved what he got. one life for the many he would've and had already taken? Seems like a good thing. That man was evil.
these people aren't like usthat's what some need to understand
they're not sorry for anything they did, and they never will be as far as i can tell
it'd take a LOT of effort to make people like them see
idk about any1 else who was against the death penalty, but i am convinced. *shrug*
