And isn't it ironic... don't you think
Being gay and supporting Barack as president. This song came to mind. And what I feel about this is very sad, hurt and disbelief. I wish he would change his mind and pick someone else. But, he won't. And he doesn't care how a lot of us feel gay or straight.

After this long fought fight to get democrats in power.....


An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

1. Life has a way of helpin you out
The irony will be when this man who has been so villified is the one who does more for gay rights than any other in history.

3. is no one bothering
to post at the Obama community site? Reading through I see very few mentions of this. I wonder why?

If someone cares to email the members of the Inauguration Committee they can do so here:
http://inaugural.senate.gov/cmte/

..and another place to comment on change.gov
http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/building_the_community_a_guide_to_comments/

You can also email your own representative and let your voice be heard...
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/
...or not
