Assuming a strong stomach, think back to that dark and rainy day....
...on January 20th 2001. Remember the pResidential limousine being pelted with eggs, tomatoes and probably a few other rotten vegetables? Now envision President Obama's motorcade. Do you see that kind of reaction in any shape or form?

I didn't think so.

13. brings back memories
Wow, did that ever take me back in time. I was right there in the crowd when they started pelting eggs and tomatoes. I just wished I had one to throw. Never mind, it felt so good to be yelling at him in the company of so many people who felt like I did.

It was electric! I know it sounds crazy but I actually saw stars and something like a psychic fireball explode. After that protest I said I was going to every protest I could, and I did. I think I've been to about 100 protests, including ones against Scalia and Cheney and everyone else who has been part of this dickhead's assault on the American people.

I so wish I could be at Obama's inauguration.

2. I'd forgotten about that!
So many of us knew from BEFORE day one that the Bush administration would be a dismal failure. Sometimes there is no joy at all in saying, "I told you so!"

3. Unfortunately the RW nuts probably will try
but I feel sorry for them. I've noticed that BO's secret service detail looks much meaner than I remember seeing in the past.

Big, serious dudes.
