The character of this president and the Democrats

The (g)odless Inaugural Prayer   Time to ask if our country has crossed the spiritual Rubicon?
"In the RNS interview, Evers-Williams sheds some light on why she may have been so obtuse in her word choices about the deity (or lack thereof):

I have never been shy in mentioning my relationship with what I call God, a Spirit, and there certainly have been times over the years that I have called on him — or her, if you wish — in public. I deeply believe that there is a Supreme Being that sees us through.

Charles Krauthammer wrote in 2008 "A Question of Barack Obama's Character"   "Obama is not the first politician to rise through a corrupt political machine. But he is one of the rare few to then have the audacity to present himself as a transcendent healer, hovering above and bringing redemption to the "old politics" -- of the kind he had enthusiastically embraced in Chicago in the service of his own ambition.
"Second, and even more disturbing than the cynicism, is the window these associations give on Obama's core beliefs. He doesn't share Rev. Wright's poisonous views of race nor Ayers' views, past and present, about the evil that is American society. But Obama clearly did not consider these views beyond the pale. For many years he swam easily and without protest in that fetid pond."

Obama's speech: if this man is not a socialist, then what do you call him?

Barry Rubin; Obama’s Inaugural Speech Presents His New Strategy and Blueprint for Transforming America  "He just completely redirected the country, and no one seemed to notice."
"So here is Obama saying that the essential basis of American democracy is the Constitution, American exceptionalism, and the Declaration of Independence’s claim of unalienable rights granted to the citizen.
"Yet he is on record repeatedly rejecting each of these three ideas."

Ron Radosh; What Was the Meaning of President Obama’s Second Inaugural Address?  "In one fell swoop, President Obama moved from giving lip service to free-market ideology (thereby fooling people like Matthew Yglesias) to arguing against those supposed conservatives — strawmen, really — who supposedly want to do away with Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and who, the president claims, argue that they “sap our initiative” rather than, as he would have it, “strengthen us.” "

Comments on the Inauguration from the Orange County Register

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Ed Bjork:  I hope the 47 percent who pay nothing for Obama’s grand ball remember that while he wines and dines, his troops are in godforsaken places all over the world, wining and dining on water and C-rations [“A quiet beginning,” Front Page, Jan. 21]. He is concerned about them only when he has no other choice but to address their existence.
The king and his court, the Democrats, have driven us into Third World-debtor status, created a medical plan that will break taxpayers, plans to legalize illegals at the expense of those who waited on lists for years and seeks to destroy the Second Amendment.

 

LA HABRA, Bobby Florentz: The president laid out his plan for his next four years. In essence, he said that climbing welfare rates, food stamp recipients, joblessness, union favoritism, government expansion and inflation will continue unabated.

Alan Caruba; Inaugural Lies and the Big Chill

Warning Signs   "To what “climate change” is Obama referring? Is it the now thoroughly debunked “global warming” hoax? Is it the climate change of the 11,500 years since the last ice age? Or is it “the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms” to which Obama referred?

"If it is the latter, does anyone actually believe that these natural events can be mitigated by anything Americans or the entire population of the world can do? Did any among the thousands in attendance at the inauguration, shivering in the frigid weather, wonder what the President was talking about or why?"
