Obama inauguration takes the Spotlight on Xbox Live

meh it wasnt that great the speech was a snore

@Longhorn

Are you kidding me?? After eight years of listening to Dubya mumble and stumble through his (poorly) rehearsed lines, listening to President Obama was a HUGE breath of fresh air. His inaugural speech was beautiful.

yeah but i was expecting a MLK speech since this was his most important speech ever, but now i know once you hear an Obama speech you heard them all

Thank god uhhhh ummm all it takes uhhhh ummm errr to run the country uuhhhhh ummm errr hang on now! uhhh ummm is the ability uhhh ummm err uhhh to read uhhh ummm a teleprompter.

"What'd he say?"

"I don't know, all I heard was ummmm. Wait, he said HopeNChange. Cheer bitches!"

Seriously, he took a inaugural crash course with Reagan, FDR and Lincoln and he settled on Jimmy Carter's speech. I guess you can't teach old programs new tricks.

Actually, it was Chief Justice Roberts who messed up the oath and caused Obama to pause and allow Roberts to find his footing. If you knew the oath, you'd know that.

There never will be any bigger clown than Dubya.

"At least "Dubya" can recite the fucking oath without stumbling over his words."

Actually, good ol' Chief Justice John Roberts read the oath wrong.

@kizzle

he wasnt the one that screwed it up, it was the person citing it to him. one thing obama wont have the power to change, dumbasses like you.

This is why any politicians speech is meh.

Ihavepants, that was amazing, but in a wow-how-could-anyone-have-voted-for-someone-who-seems-to-concurrently-hold-two-completely-opposite-viewpoints-on-a-number-of-important-issues kind of way.

Can everyone bickering do me a favor and Shut the fak up!!??

Really? Cause it made me pissed. I don't pay 50 bucks a month to see Obama all over my Xbox.

Sorry. 50 bucks a year. Either way I pay for a video game service, not a democratic news network on my Xbox.

I am not going to get into the political arguments that you guys have started, but I have to comment on something that disgusts me.

When I saw PSN: Aggie_CEO's post where he more or less calls a person racist over a kool-aid comment, that every one of us knows is regarding the Jonestown suicides, and has nothing to do with him being black, I think more people should say something. Its a long time analogy that we have all seen and used for years.

It's a shame that a man has to make something about him, and call someone a racist, when they used a comment that is used in posts on 100's of issues around here and has nothing to do with race. It's used in 100's of threads that PSN:Aggie_CEO wasn't even a commenter on. Yet now, it becomes about race when that is a convenient way to slander someone because you don't care for their politics.

You all know, no matter what your political beliefs, that there was no racist comment made in that, and PSN: Aggie_CEO's comment back was shameless and pathetic. I am shocked that more people are not bothered by his slanderous tone against someone when I am sure he knew that he was making a false accusation.

Damn, my comment was for the section below this one. I hit the wrong link.

Scandals????

How is what a PREACHER says have to do with ANYTHING with Barack??

Did anybody say ANYTHING about John Hagee said regarding Jews????? I mean he WAS John McCains Pastor right????

Point blank the media had NOTHING on Barack and was grasping for straws......

Hell Fox new concocted a story about him going to a Muslim school when he was in India.......and it all came out to be bullshit.......

so ummmmmm yea........Shut that shit up........

3 words:
"A terrorist fist jab!?!?!?!??"
I rest my case, douche.

(See, I'm not calling him a douchebag, its his name. Quite fitting, if you ask me.)

Yes, do you bother checking on what he's actually doing?

- Nominated Hillary Clinton for Sec. of State after trashing her qualifications for any such position for months; questions about this smugly shrugged off. Note she also has serious conflicts of interest.
- Nominated a guy for Treasury secretary who doesn't pay his taxes and employs illegal immigrants
- Nominated a guy to head the CIA who has no experience in any field remotely related - even Queen Pelosi bitched about this one
- Obama tied to Blagojevich scandal, but pre-emptively cleared by the Associated Press

... just the big ones.

The broken promises? Little stuff like promising to shut Guantamo (turns out it's "more complicated" than "some people" think - guess he can't just say he was wrong); keeping Gates around; supporting FISA; keeping the Bush tax cuts ... and on.

And yeah, what ties would a person have to a racist pastor he listened to for 20 years? A guy he said he could no more disown the man than he could disown the black community.

Keep drinking that Kool-Aid, pal - it's going to be a long, broke four years. It will probably be all any of us can afford.

if I had to sum up his argument in one image, it would be this

@moptimus:

I lol'd.

Really hard.

-Trashed Hillary and then gave her a position.....politics as usual....
-Treasury guy doesn't pay his taxes.....what aren't you one of those that say "Paying taxes is un-American"??
-CIA guy....I know nothing of....but I suppose he is giving dude a chance.....cant be no worse than the fuckers that missed 9/11
-Blagojevich....has nothing to do with Barack WHAT so ever......hell he even was talking shit about him in the recordings......more than likely because Barack wasn't going for the bullshit

Broken Promises??

"Gitmo" Will be shutdown......no one in there RIGHT mind would believe shit can just be changed over nite......
and how did I miss him saying that he was going to be keeping the Tax Cuts for the rich folks??

Racist pastor huh??? how do you know the man is racist?? Like I said earlier......NOBODY called Hagee a racist for what he said about Jews......I mean SURE when you take those SAME recordings out of context and play them over and over again......I take it you aren't black....but in this country us as black people have been stepped on for YEARS....slavery, jim crow, KKK, and so on.....when you are brought up and are treated like shit simply because of the color of your skin you get tired.....build up some slight animosity to the country that allowed such things to happen.....excuse him for speaking slight truths.....and like I said.....Hagee said way worse about Jews and it wasnt any way to take it out of context...

and stop with the "Kool-aid" shit already.....just cause I'm black doesn't mean I drink kool-aid......hell I don't even give my kids the shit.......cant stand it.....

Quote: "and stop with the "Kool-aid" shit already.....just cause I'm black doesn't mean I drink kool-aid......hell I don't even give my kids the shit.......cant stand it....."

Moron. Kool-Aid is referring to the Jim Jones/Jonestown incident. It has nothing to do with a race of people supposedly preferring Kool-Aid thanks to self-inflicted stereotypes.

pffft, whoever Obama puts in charge of the CIA can't do any worse than J Edgar Hoover (Yes I know he was the FBI but still)

@Kizzle:

I seriously doubt he meant it that way as he said "We all will be drinking it because it may be all we can afford" if he meant it in terms of mass suicide he would not have said it the way he did......

And to be fair, Jesse Jackson did once refer to people of the Jewish faith as "hymies" and New York City as "hymietown" and yet he's still a respected Reverend

...but that is the way he meant it, Aggie. I don't agree with him but 'keep drinking that kool aid' was NOT a racist statement. When he says that, he means that we're believing in the 'hype' and that'll only harm us in the end - he IS referring to the whole Jonestown incident in saying that - though as I said I don't agree with that. Don't misconstrue it, though.

Good lawd, relax everyone. It's the loser Ass Mastertard, er Bass Masterson.

It's like when people don't realize PrematureAssassin/Vesper/Gundam has just created a new account and is flaming people again, and people take him seriously and try to argue with him like he'd ever be rational.

They're both huge twats, accept it, and relax :)

fox news pays him to post here

"I take it you aren't black....but in this country us as black people have been stepped on for YEARS....slavery, jim crow, KKK, and so on.....when you are brought up and are treated like shit simply because of the color of your skin you get tired..."

Oh Christ, here we go. Tell me, what is so bad about your life that being black has caused? The days where the color of your skin held you back are long gone, and if you want to talk racism then it goes both ways easily. But oh, I guess it wouldn't be racism if you were to say it, right?

You wanna know what sucks about being white? That with every other race you are forced to walk on egg shells so that you aren't called a racist, or sued, or physically attacked. That many black people harbor a grudge against you for something your ANCESTORS did, that they make you feel as though you owe them something.

Go fuck off with that "you don't know our ancestors pain" bullshit. Because you know what? YOU don't know their pain either.

What do you mean "YOU people"?!?!

@finaldarklord: At last check I have been pulled over 5 Times by police........not because I was speeding......not because of a tail light being out, or running a stop sign or any of that......but simply because I am Black, in a luxury car, and appear to be "in the wrong neighborhood"....you aren't me, you arent black.....this is shit I have to go thru as a black man ALL the time.....I go into a store like "Saks at Fifth Avenue" and get followed around constantly....hell I will walk down the street and if there is an older white woman walking toward me she will either cross the street and then walk the same direction, or she will walk buy me holding tight to her purse...people like you that REFUSE to believe racial profiling and racism is still alive are blind and full of it......

Douche, how did you come to be such a fat fucking liar?

"Nominated a guy for Treasury secretary who doesn't pay his taxes" - misleading. Geithner didn't pay his taxes for a period due to a misunderstanding about the status of his employment - he thought the taxes were being deducted by his employer. When he learned of the error he paid the taxes. Kind of a far cry from the Joe the actually tax-dodging Plumber, dontchathink?

"The broken promises? Little stuff like promising to shut Guantamo" New York Times, Tuesday: "When he arrives in the Oval Office on Wednesday, aides said, Mr. Obama ... plans to convene his national security team and senior military commanders to discuss his plans to pull combat troops out of Iraq and bolster those in Afghanistan. He also plans to sign executive orders to start closing the detention center at Guantánamo Bay" Is it too much to ask for you to keep up with the news?

Panetta is a beauracrat, the job of the Director of the CIA does not involve intelligence work, it involves organising people. Simple.

Clinton will not be setting a foreign policy agenda as Secretary of State, she will be executing Obama's agenda. He trashed her foreign policy credentials during the campaign because he felt a Clinton foreign policy would be more hawkish than what he wanted to pursue. And if you know how to use a television, you will be able to see from her hearings that she will be executing HIS agenda in her role as Secretary of State - what he criticised during the campaign is immaterial and gone. Her agenda is now his.

You're going to get very lonely if you keep twisting the facts like this.

Wow!

***Reminder, this is a VIDEO GAME blog/website.***

Take your political cock fighting over to the drudge report site or something. That way, you guys can contradict each other with "proof" from that site.

Joystiq - Way to pour vinegar into the opinionated baking soda of gamers.

@Aggie

Oh is that right? Just another case of "the man" keeping you down, I see. Doesn't go both ways, not at all.

My manager at my last job rode my ass the hardest because I was the only white male working there. I eventually quit when he crossed a line by calling me a "spoiled white boy." My previous (black) girlfriend eventually left me because her parents and friends wouldn't quit giving her shit about her dating a "white boy", and because her ex was constantly threatening bodily harm against me.

But yeah, the only racism out there is against blacks. You keep fighting the good fight, brotha.

@finaldarklord: awwwwww poor guy.....wish someone WOULD call ME spoiled.....everything I have I worked for.....now that may also be the case with you.......but I'm way less likely to be called spoiled by anyone that knows me simply because they know I worked for what I have

it was your CHOICE to date a black woman....your CHOICE to put up with that manager while you could have simply went over his head and reported him......

I dont CHOOSE to get harassed by cops.....I dont CHOOSE to get followed around why trying to make purchases in upscale stores......I don't CHOOSE to have white women grab their purses tight and squeeze their mans hand tighter because they are fearful of me simply because I'm a 6'4" talk black guy.....

you are right Racism goes both ways.....but it is WAY worse towards people that aren't white on a NATIONAL level....god forbid I go into parts of West Virginia because I value my life......

For someone who ALLEGEDLY dated a black woman you damn sure act like you dont know what I'm talking about.....

Why do you put so many periods in your posts?

simple.....because that what I do...

sure.....it cant POSSIBLY because this is the internet and I could give a rats ass as I dont get paid to do this....

Why does everyone give Aggie_CEO shit for using the .... system? Who really gives a shit? Why does everyone have to insult the man and cut him down because he uses a different type of chatting. I used to do the same thing constantly and never understood why it caused such a shitstorm. It's like gamers on this site want to constantly have some witty smart ass put down to make people feel inferior. It's just a different way to convey the same fucking message. If you read what he wrote he uses the ..... to seperate each individual thought and point he is making. For fucks sake man. It's as if you guys don't like him or what he is saying so you reach for whatever straws you can to insult him and make him feel like an idiot. Guess what? He is doing on purpose and could give two shits and a fucks what you guys think about it. Let it go already.


If .... you .... don't .... like .... it .... then ... don't .... fucking .... read .... it .... bitches ....

k ... thanx ... bye

lol...

I wasn't really giving him a hard time, I just think it detracts from the quality of the post is all.

your name suits you well

so does yours
