    It's now 9pm and the hoopla just doesn't end...... a live production called the Neighborhood Ball.............

    We finally have a black president and that's a huge milestone in this country, but how much longer do we need to endure this theatrical American Idol type popularity contest, National Enquirer worthless BS, remixed acceptance speach clips turned into songs and flashy snipits, overdone celebrations, and Obama apparal, and instead have the American people move on to focus and fix the REAL issues that we have to resolve???

    Totally agree with you Fred, I think the whole event has gone to far. On a humorous note, I was watching the Ball Party a few hours ago and Obama cant dance to slow music. LOL :D

    Yeah, I have seen enough of the partying. Let's see what can be done now.
    If they substituted some Chappelle in the Obama mix it would be much more interesting.
    Watching the coverage of all the parties I said to my wife "Whoa, it looks like our whole country is black!"
    They let in a dozen or so whites. Can you say role-reversal?
    :D

    It will be interesting to see what kind of changes will take place and how quickly they will be made.

    I for one am blind to the color of his skin. Where I did feel a bit of indigestion leading up to his election was it appeared to me that people were coming out of the woodwork to vote for him based on race in order to change or make history rather than on his qualifications and record. Although, there isn't much room for the argument based on qualifications and record of other presidents before him after having come off of 8 terrible years under Bush. Every candidate makes promises when they are running and history has shown that many times the objectives are never met.

    It just feels as though that the voters were more interested in making history more so than anything else during this election. As we all have done in the past, we will have to support him as we have the others and if everything turns out great then we will all be better off, if they don't, then we'll have another chance with another president 4 years from now.

    I SAW THE CORONATION OOPS I MEAN INAUGURATION AND TO ME IT WAS A JOKE. I GUESS HE IS ENTITLED. I ONLY WATCHED TO SEE MY COUSIN WHO IS THE LEAD TRUMPET PLAYER IN THE MARINE CORP BAND. HE HAS BEEN THERE FOR THE LAST FIVE INAUGURALS. ANYWAY I WISH OBAMA WELL, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND WE ARE IN SAD SHAPE. I HOPE HE SUCCEEDS FOR ALL OF US SO WE CAN KEEP BUYING AND USING OUR TOYS. IF NOT KEEP THE FAITH BROTHER.

    * His mother was white. Obama is of mixed race background. MSM doesn't say that much. He's as black as he is white.

    If his skin were white, would the media still call him black? Probably not . If another candidate was bi-racial had the exact same platform but his skin where white, I don't think he would have gotten the votes. Which makes the issue of voting for him because he is black as one of the most racist thing this country has done. I really don't care if he is purple, just get the country going in the right direction.
