Happy Inaguration Day President Obama!

Barack swore to uphold the Constitution today. Too soon for the first lie of his second term? ( Stolen from Facebook.)

I should have known. Your "Happy Inauguration Day President Obama" was to launch a hatchet job.

All you had to do was look at the name of the original poster to know it was a hatchet job... Hardly a surprise...

"We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate, " Obama said from atop the Capitol steps overlooking the National Mall.

At least I can say I agreed with something the president said today... hopefully others will take his advice to heart (including himself).

How about including yourself? You called him a liar just a few posts up.

Looks to me like the top contenders were Rushbo, about half of the House of Representatives, and most of FauxNews...

I guess I missed something... but if I did call him a liar, not only is that not what we're talking about (reasoned debate) but I probably have some proof of that. I think Obama is a huge hypocrite for sure and has told some whopper "un-truths" (is that better?). But unfortunately, I will never get to debate the president. And if I could, I WOULD be respectful and use facts instead of name calling to make my points. If the facts I present show him to be a world class hypocrite, or an un-truth teller, would that be inappropriate?

But the gist of the quote from him was to not confuse name calling with reasoned debate. I've decided to take the high road and NOT call those I debate with names because it's childish and accomplishes nothing.

Now please show me the quote you were referring to so I can defend it.

Sorry....and mea culpa, the post was by Fred, and when I read your post on my cell phone I thought it was by Fred too. I really am sorry.

No worries

So how quickly do you think Barry will act on his new promises? Here is an example that leaves me wondering how Barry defines words like "immediate" and "quickly."
