So this video is a couple of days old but Jon Stewart analyzed Obama’s inaugural speech with certain speeches of our former President and it showed quite a few similarities. Not exactly the type of hope and change you were hoping would come to Washington. Also, Wired.com is reporting that Obama is lining up his administration exactly with the previous one on the issue of warantless wiretapping.
The Obama administration fell in line with the Bush administration Thursday when it urged a federal judge to set aside a ruling in a closely watched spy case weighing whether a U.S. president may bypass Congress and establish a program of eavesdropping on Americans without warrants.
Take off your optimism hats folks and get ready for a good dose of reality. We can all sit here and hope for things to change but we better keep the new President and his administration honest and true to their campaign “promises”.
Since the All-Star game is almost here, I thought I would put up a SportsCenter Top 10 Shootout goals from the first half of the season. Personally I like #2 and 3 better than the top rated goal, but what can you do?
Also, gotta love the rule NHL commish put into place where if you miss the All-Star game festivities, you have to sit out a regular season game once they come back from the break. The All-Star game is being shown on Versus Network tomorrow so make sure you don’t miss it. Too bad Sid the Kid won’t be there but still plenty of talent – young and old.
The crowd of over 2 million people in DC certainly gave the previous president one heck of a send off. Stay classy folks. From the protest earlier in the day where an inflateable Geroge W. Bush was propped up for people to chuck their shoes at to the march on Pennsylvania Avenue towards the White House where people also launched shoes onto the lawn.
Secret Service remained relatively calm during the protests even conversing with the protestors to let them know what was allowed and what was not. I think at last check, only one person was arrested which is not bad at all considering how we have seen some in the police force react with a disproportionate response. The protestors were not hurting anyone and the Secret Service let them do what is allowed under the 1st amendment in the Constitution.
Anyways, here is the video from an MSNBC feed where you can hear the booing and also the “Hey Hey Hey Goodbye” chant towards George W. Bush – the ex. United States President.
Also, let’s hold judgment on what kind of President Barack Obama is going to be until we actually see some results. The hype behind what he is GOING to accomplished has pushed the bar so high that it has completely set him up for fail. Then again, here is a man who was going up political establishments who had settled down in DC for years and defeated them. Hopefully President Obama and his Cabinet can make the right decisions and not necessarily the politically motivated or easy decisions.
Some of you Iheard me joke about wanting an immediate change in the country overnight. Along those lines, it will be interesting to see which few areas he tries to fix first as he has already halted the mess that was the Gitmo trials and following the confirmation of his Secretary of State and Treasury, I guess he’ll announce somethings involving them as well.
Good luck America, next four years will be, if nothing else, interesting to say the least.
Here is a prime example of an interview that is just not broadcasted in the “free media” of America and any sort of questioning like this would most certainly be followed by accusations of being anti-semetic.
Unfortunately I’ll be in Hoboken webcasting two empire8.tv basketball games in the early parts of the afternoon from about noon to 4 pm but I hope to be out in time to come home and watch the playoff games today.
Nothing like rooting for a kid who went to college near you (Ray Rice – RU) and wanting him to succeed on the big stage. I’ll be going Eagles and Ravens to be playing in the Super Bowl.
