i thought that i would be nice for a change, so after finals i sat down and watched the entire inaugural ceremony. it was only a short amount of time before i started yelling back at the speakers on TV (slightly pathetic, i am aware). i cannot understand how anyone can say such things and a) be completely serious or b) get away with it!! (i am not addressing free-speech, but the intelligent population of people who should know better and call the looters out for what they are)

the points that you addressed were certainly troubling to me, but there were quite a few others (some that did not pertain to the economy) that were equally vexing. if you haven't watched B. Houssein Obama's entire speech, or the other speeches that were made i highly suggest that you do so.
