Directly after his swearing-in, what unrealistic but badass thing would you like Obama to say?
  "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for choosing me as your President in these troubled times. We can and will make this journey, not alone but with the each other. Regardless of politics- Liberal, Conservative or anywhere in between. Regardless of race- Be we Black, White, Latino, Asian, American or East Indian.

  Some who will make that journey with us could not be with us today. They are the men and women who are executing subpoenas around the country as I speak these words. With the help of the Justice Department we have opened an investigation into why the country's coffers have been looted, her national treasure- our sons and daughters in the military- were squandered on an unjust, unnecessary war and that investigation has already yielded results which over forty dozen grand juries have also concluded is evidence of an entire criminal-social class which has robbed America of her strength like a national parasite.

  I will also be spending tonight, not in the White House, but in the cold woods outside Camp David. Sometime before sundown I will cut Dick Cheney open, gut him like a fish, climb inside his hollowed-out carcass and spend the night kept warm by the heat of his body. That's right, like a Tauntaun on Hoth.

  This has absolutely nothing to do with the subpoenas but by a comment Mr. Cheney made to me on the Senate Floor last month."

1. You can't be a bad ass and quote Star Wars at the same time.
It's in the rule book.

I heard this from an old woman at the beauty shop on Tuesday. I set her straight, but she probably still thinks he's Muslim.

14. Wouldn't that be nice?
I thought of something a bit more charitable, though.

"My fellow Americans, today is a new day in America. For too long, our nation has abused the power it held in trust in order to harass or inhibit freedom around the world. As my first act, I will release all of those that we have unjustly imprisoned whether due to politics or due to faulty policies of previous Administrations."

"The founders of this great nation understood that the freedom to speak, to gather and participate in government is the foundation of what makes us great. From this day forward, domestic spying, disruption of groups such as unions and peace groups and chilling of free speech will no longer occur. If you have questions or problems with my performance or the performance of others in government, I want to know about it."

"The future is today. Let us welcome that future as citizens of a Nation we can be proud of."

It's folks like you who should be in office-of course "the people" wouldn't be intelligent or have enough character to vote for you.
Keep hope alive though-my tank is empty.

I can't run- for one thing, I'm too young. For another, I'm not part of the "Big Club."

That said, I can speak of what we SHOULD be doing. I'm glad you appreciate it. My tank is empty too, but hope springs eternal where the possibility of change exists.

the Joint Congressional Inquiry, declassify the Cheney Energy Task Force minutes, unseal any documents related to the Kennedy assassination, and pull in every black bag, off the books operative of the GOP and use the last lie detection technology to figure out how they have fucked us over for the last forty years.

Just kidding, folks. We're going to do that BEFORE there's another terrorist attack.

52. He should look at the crowd, and like when Abe Lincoln addressed

San Dimas H.S. in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, President Obama should raise his arms, flash the peace sign and say, "Party on, dudes!" Then he should tell us to be most excellent to each other.
