There was a collective sphincter shudder as the potus was sworn in... Not sure, but it probably registered 4.3 on the Richter Scale...Mike, is there a tasteful emoticon to add to the list... that would show this phenomenum?

:withstupid:When thinking of "the man" this one comes to mind

How come they all have trench coats? I want one now.

All that cannon fire...

I'm sure glad the prevailing wind throughout most of the country is West to East!!! Don't have to hear..........or smell it!!!!!

Words fail me,I try to keep my head up but holy buckets.....it's hard.

We have 4 more years of this ________ ! :cry:Then if we (the voters) are smart enough to not vote in another of the same kind, we will have many years of work to dig ourselves out and repair the damage that has been done.

'trench coats' and regionally, AKA 'dusters', were almost a fad about the time you were born....(assuming you are early 20's..) with the youth at the time.. They were even BANNED at certain gatherings! Mine was the black 'oilskin' Duster... it was a medium canvas soaked with special waterproofing oil... and had the split right up to the crotch.. (ease of riding horse or bike).. and had the badass turn up collar. I learned quickly folks 'in town' didn't like the image! as for why? ahem, can you imagine the arsenal of hardware that might be 'hanging' around? Plus, they help keep you warm!

So funny cause it sounds so ironic to do these days. I'll wear it at my inauguration and see what happens. You think obama is packing under that thing?

I'm we the people that didn't vote were even smarter. Because how do you vote ofr the lesser of two evils? They are both evil so neither Mom or I voted.

That is so true Mike! So many forums online have party to party blaming each other, saying this guy does that, that guy is just trying to 'fix' the other guys' mistakes..... and the "SHEEP" just keep CLINGING to the 'same ol same ol' Meanwhile, our debt has become totally unserviceable. And NOBODY cares! The smirks and guffaws behind obama's back when he gave his 'fiscal cliff' speech a few weeks back, (and these were HIS comrades) told me VOLUMES!! If a person really wanted to 'serve' his Country, and spent millions of dollars on the campaign trail, you would think he/she would at least have the decency to 'look' concerned when 16.5 TRILLION dollars of their 'constituants' money is at stake!
