"'The time has come'; Before vast crowd, Obama takes office with call to remake nation" by Scott Helman and Michael Kranish, Globe Staff | January 21, 2009
WASHINGTON - Barack Hussein Obama was inaugurated yesterday as the nation's 44th president, seizing the historic moment to invoke the "price and the promise of citizenship" and demand the participation of all Americans in restoring the country to greatness.
On a brilliant but frigid day in the nation's capital, President Obama took the oath of office on Abraham Lincoln's Bible before a sea of more than 1 million people that stretched from the Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial. Obama celebrated his own achievement as the nation's first African-American president, but struck a solemn tone in warning of the challenges and sacrifices that lie ahead.
Comparing the economic crisis and fight against terrorism to the trials faced by the Founding Fathers, Obama implored his fellow citizens to join him "in the work of remaking America."
You know, until he gets off that bullshit, I'm not going to cut him a break. WESTERN GOVERNMENTS CREATE, FUND and DIRECT "terrorism!!!"

The immense security and crush of people, however, created headaches for many trying to witness the occasion. Thousands of people who streamed toward the Mall from adjacent neighborhoods in southeast Washington, for example, found themselves turned back by members of the National Guard when they approached the security cordon.

"Logistical woes, crowds leave some spectators stuck on the outside" by Bryan Bender, Globe Staff | January 21, 2009
WASHINGTON - Unprecedented security, massive crowds, and frigid temperatures at Barack Obama's inauguration made for long lines, major transit delays, and a frantic day for paramedics yesterday, while leaving some frustrated spectators - including some VIP ticket holders - unable to reach the National Mall or to find spots along the parade route.
But overall the US Secret Service, which mustered personnel from 58 federal, state, and local agencies, breathed a sigh of relief that the day's events went off without major injuries or security breaches, despite concerns that the inauguration might be the target of a little-known terrorist group based in Somalia.
That is a MESSAGE to OBAMA that the APPARATUS based on a LIE is "NEEDED!"
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin Monday night to law enforcement agencies warning that new intelligence suggested that a radical group called al-Shabaab, which is believed to have sympathizers in this country, might be planning an attack.
I'm so sick of the FALSE-FLAG FOOLEYS of "terrorism!"
US counterterrorism officials stressed that the threats were not specific and that their credibility was in question, but nevertheless felt the need to warn law enforcement....
SEE? A MESSAGE to 'bamer!
Midwinter temperatures that hovered in the teens made for a busy day for emergency personnel. By 10 a.m. the Fire Department said it had responded to dozens of calls for help from the massive crowd on the Mall, with many elderly people or young children suffering from the cold....
But we gotta hear about global-warming all the time!

And Obama got one more message if he didn't get the first two:"In distant lands, Obama's message of hope resonates" by Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | January 21, 2009
WASHINGTON - He has been called the "world's president," and visitors from Paris to Port-au-Prince watched intently yesterday as Barack Obama took the oath of office....
In his speech after taking the oath of office, Obama appealed for improved relations with other nations, including those in the Muslim world, saying "we seek a new way forward." Speaking of America's critics, he promised to "extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
Lip serrvice. How about the U.S. UNCLENCHING ITS FIST?!!
When was the LAST TIME a MUSLIM NATION INVADED ANYONE (Saddam doesn't count; that was with U.S. prodding)?
Tell it to ISRAEL if you tell it to ANYONE!
In Pakistan, where many people resent US air strikes on tribal areas where militants hide, newscasters suggested Obama might have more respect than the Bush administration for the country's sovereignty, paired with a stronger grasp of the region's complex problems.
"President Obama is promising a new world order in which America will retain its primacy, but it will be a listening superpower," said Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States and a professor on leave from Boston University. "He plans to listen to others. He spoke of America's hope and promise without even a hint of arrogance. There was no 'us and them.' "
I'm sorry, but I think the guy is full of it; Pakistan being set up. That's why NATO just got supply route agreements through Central Asia.
Israel's ambassador to the United States, Sallai Meridor, told an audience gathered for a private party at his Washington home on inauguration eve that it would be a "great day for America, and I say for the world."
Hey, hey, LISTEN UP!! And why do I feel a "but" coming?
But Meridor - who will receive one of the flags that flew over the Capitol yesterday as a gift from Congress - also warned that "the struggle is not over, and maybe this will be the most defining moment between Israel and America, dealing with this hatred from extremist elements."
It's ALWAYS the SAME DAMN THING with the NaZionist jerks. One more thing, always a but or one more thing!
Oh, so WHEN is the NEXT FALSE-FLAG ATTACK, NaZionist scum?
Across town at the Fairmont Hotel, Queen Noor of Jordan told a gathering hosted by the Arab American Institute that Obama's inauguration brought "a new hope and possibility of renewal and activism, and hard, hard work together." She said she believes Obama would work to find "long-term solutions to problems not only in this country" but also in the Mideast, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I hate to say it, but only disappointment waits -- unless the Zionist string-pullers wish it.
Obama's message was eagerly watched in Kenya, his father's homeland, where rural villagers celebrated by sacrificing goats and drinking beer labeled with his name as they watched the inauguration on outdoor screens. At the Washington Plaza hotel, Masai dancers feted Obama's grandmother, who had traveled from Kenya. Dancers from the Kikuyu and Luo tribes, which in Kenya have been violent political rivals, celebrated together.
In Tehran, families gathered to hear Obama's speech, translated into Persian on the Voice of America. "I love listening to his speeches, and I admire him," a young Iranian woman, who asked not to be identified, wrote in an e-mail. "I am sure he will make a change in the world."
Again, I would hate to see this wonderful young woman from Tehran disappointed, but I really do worry about a war with Iran and her safety.
At an orphanage in Haiti, about 30 children ages 7 to 16 gathered at a big-screen TV and strained to hear the speech, broadcast in French. "He's a good man," said staff member Dave Belfort, 23. "To me, this is not about color. It's the knowledge that he will change things."
Oh, for more on the unpoken and abomination that is Haiti, please go HERE
Update: Yes, 'bamer is in the bag.
".... This morning, Obama also called key leaders in the Middle East, where the Gaza crisis is front and center on his agenda.
"This morning, the President placed phone calls to four Middle Eastern leaders: President Mubarak of Egypt, Prime Minister Olmert of Israel, King Abdullah of Jordan, and President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said in a statement.
"He used this opportunity on his first day in office to communicate his commitment to active engagement in pursuit of Arab-Israeli peace from the beginning of his term, and to express his hope for their continued cooperation and leadership. In the aftermath of the Gaza conflict, he emphasized his determination to work to help consolidate the ceasefire by establishing an effective anti-smuggling regime to prevent Hamas from rearming, and facilitating in partnership with the Palestinian Authority a major reconstruction effort for Palestinians in Gaza. He pledged that the United States would do its part to make these efforts successful, working closely with the international community and these partners as they fulfill their responsibilities as well. The President appreciated the spirit of partnership and warm nature of these calls."
