It's not a transition, it's a transformation - Barack Obama

[C4]

Barack Obama is now officially the president of the United States of America, the Inaugural Ceremony went great, It was kinda funny when he forgot everything during the oath.

But now the question is, do you agree with the statement mentioned in the thread title?

It's not a transition, it's a transformation.

I do.

 

[MikeRaw]

He didn't forget. The man reading him the speech put thwe words in the wrong order, and when Obama was repeating it, he realsied the guy said it to him wrong, so he stopped.

And sure, I agree to an extent, but to compare them isn't really right.
A transistion just means it's a transition of power, from one guy to another, which is obviously true.
Transformation is meant in the fact that it is changing (transforming) how people think of America, how some things are done in America, and all that stuff.
Both are true, it's not like they are opposite phrases, because both transition and trasformation are supposed to be happening.

My only fear is that people will end up disappointed. He can hardly live up the hype , can he? Still can't be any worse than Bush. Although the boos Bush got when he first appeared on the screen were disrespectful imo

-No real plan to solve the economy
-No real plan to end the war in Iraq
-possibility of war with Iran to help Israel
-No real plan to fix the corruption and inflation of rising medical costs
-In Command of a military that doesn't agree with his policies and his inevitable budget cuts
-Praised as a "Messiah" by the known world.

Wait... how is this a "transformation" into anything but a further downward spiral?

Don't drink the "Obama-Ade" folks. Don't believe in the hype.

I don't see any change. Other than millions of people yelling "Obama," I don't see how anything will drastically change. That's great, he's black. But is anything really dramatically changing?

^To answer your question: NOPE

As opposed to who? McCain?
McCain would
-Have plans to keep the war in Iraq going
-Rage war with more than just Iran
-Wouldn't even care at all about the problems, nevermind coming up with a plan
-Be in charge of a military that he would use liek toy soldiers, sending around the globe
-Be hated, and continue to have america hated, by the world

^Just because Obama was elected, that doesn't mean that people still won't hate America...becuase they will.

And yet the majority of the "toy soldiers" that you speak of voted for McCain, and supported the war?

I'm sorry, I fail to see how any of what goes on down here affects you.?? (looking at the Toronto, Canada hometown under your avatar)

Care to explain?

Wrong.
People around the world, in places and countries like Canada, England, France, etc, that were allies of the US, began hating american during the Bush years, and have a brighter outlook on the USA now that Obama is in power.

Fuck this shit. The only racism today is the FAKE racism that blacks and liberals and the media make up. It was disgusting to hear that reverend yesterday say "when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead man and when white would embrace what is right." So what? White people don't embrace what is right? How the hell did Obama get elected then? And what exactly is right anyway? Bill Ayers? Reverend Wright? Yes everyone! Embrace what is right! Embrace the friends of Obama. Embrace the new socialist radicals! Yay. Sooo stupid. At first I fed into this Obama bullshit and was glad he won the election. Guess what! I didn't know anything about his politics. Then I did my homework and educated myself about his POLITICS! Not just his savy charismatic persona. I was going to vote for him but I didn't register in time and I am damn glad I didn't.

He started out with don't look in the rear view mirror of the Bushes and McCain will take you down the same path. If you don't want to be in a war give me a hell yeah!! (blind sheep: HELL YEAH!) If you want to get free money for no reason give me a hell yeah! (blind sheep: HELL YEAH!!!!) If you think the government should pay for your health care give me a hell yeah! (blind sheep: HELL YEAH!)

Ya that all sounds nice and dandy and thats how he sucked in the average person. Free money, free healthcare, no war. Anyone could of said that, but he has the good mic work similar to that of Stone Cold and Vince McMahon. Once he sucked you in then hes going to change it up a bit.

If you are in favor of raising taxes on everything give me a hell yeah!! IF your in favor of making up taxes so we can tax everything give me a hell yeah!

Keep on preaching about the c02 emmisions and global warming. What a fucking crock of shit. If you believe in that shit do your homework and don't just go off of a stupid biased movie. If the creator of the weather channel doesn't believe in global warming then theres something wrong there. Tax the hell out of guns so people can't afford them, bring back the fairness doctrine, tax everything from cows to every google search. Because everytime you google a search it gives off 0.2 of c02. So now it will be tax internet searches. So since everything and everyone including animals give off c02 emissions theres a reason to tax everything.

First it was global warming! OMG everyone! And then once everyone notices...wait there are subzero temperatures! WTF do you mean global warming! And then they scramble... no its not just global warming.. its climate change!! We are ruining our climate and altering the climate and changing the world!

HELL NO!
FUCK OBAMA!
Obama = Antichrist.

plz..
Chuck vs Mike Chaos, Obama on a pole match.

I'm glad you saw the light. 99% of his "believers" (they're not supporters, they're "Believers", biiiig difference) didn't do any research. They saw a different pigmentation of skin, bought into his bullshit and moonbat promises, and thought that if Hollywood and all of Europe is going to embrace him, well he must be "kewl" enough to run the country. After all, America needed somebody "young" and "hip" to turn it around, right?

We'll laugh last. Remember that in 4 years when people are begging for "change" from socialist policies and money grab schemes.

that's the main reason why I and everyone else I know didn't really believe in him. "spreading the wealth" is one of the dumbest things I've heard, because the ones that are in trouble now put themselves in that position. That's not how life works, you can't mess up and go in debt, expecting that someone will help you out. That's just running away from your problems, and asking other people to solve them.
