Meh - this poem crap sucks.

 

[Knight7]

lol i just notice bullet proof glass, where obama is sitting,

 

[Babbles]

This poem is the lack.

Did she just give props to Stomp (wood spoons on oil cans)?

 

[DivideBYZero]

Good speech, very rousing and re-energising, from the perspective of a Brit. :thumbsup:

OMWTF Poet?! FAIL!

 

[shiner]

Good speech, well delivered.

If nothing else the positive vibe coming from his being President is good for the country in that it will help restore confidence.

Good luck Mr. President

 

[OrByte]

great great speech.

Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.

I think that's pretty standard... I remember seeing it in pictures from reagan's inauguration.

Yeah, Roberts obviously screwed it up and you could see the look on Obama's face, "Wait a minute, that wasn't right." Too bad that his hesitation and Roberts repeating it made it look like Obama was the one that had messed up.

yeah I just replayed that, Roberts changed his words. Still not sure if he got it right in the end as I think Obama said something different the 2nd time around than Roberts.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Okay, enough of the poetry!

 

[IceBergSLiM]

quick someone throw a shoe1

 

[heyheybooboo]

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I fear this poem
Has the stench of doo ...

epic? Not really. There was some moron("news" person) who claimed it'd be etched in marble someday or some such nonsense yesterday. Oh, I'm sure the little BO sheep loved it and think it's the best ever but the reality is - it wasn't what people were claiming it would be.

Keep clinging to that bitterness, it will do you a lot of good.

I like the Rev ... nice closing.

Now wrap it up

If he would have called you by named you'd have still acted miserable and complained so I really doubt ANYONE gives a damn about your opinion.

:roll: I didn't say it was a bad speech. I actually think it was quite good. HOWEVER - I responded to eits who claimed "epic" and then pointed out the expectations by some. So pull your head out of your ass and actually read what I post

See my reply to Mill, morAn.

 

[Rockinacoustic]

Compared to his other speeches it was pretty mediocre. It's just a speech though.
