I could not believe that man was saying those things at all but especially in a prayer to God in front of the World to see. It should never had been said at all but he said it. How embarrassing!!! Was it true what I heard that Obama was smiling and nodding his head yes when he said that? I was listening on the radio coming down the road when it was said and I did not personally see him doing that but some people on the radio or television said that he was???

Rev. Wright to pop up and start screaming GD America!!!

Mt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Clearly not one of Lowery better days. But consider that what he worked with King to bring about has brought him no joy this day. That is what hate and bitterness does to a person. Sad.

Look, it was an historic occasion, it was something to celebrate, and yet the worst part of the day were the words “The One” offered. I got the sense that we were entering a time where free enterprise and limited government were cast aside.

Was I the only one to hear that in the speech?

I only hope that President Reagan wasn’t listening in and shaking his head sadly.

was the words of a local Detroiter shown on the local news…. Really? What Chapter and Verse? I must have missed that part!

…. sorry lady, it’s not about the color of his skin…. but the lack of his character…

Only 1 building is currently burning in Detroit, so far….

…especially when he said “yellow will be mellow” (or something along those lines).

You, sir, may be fine with “black” or “brown,” but no Asian that I know is okay with “yellow.” Even when used in harmless and hackneyed verse.

During that moment and similar moments throughout the weekend, I was imagining Obama saying to himself behind the required grin, “Is this guy really saying this right now? Really?”

All of Obama’s words were so carefully chosen, then this guy gets up and says such silly things. That must be the most difficult part of such ceremonies. The words of others who you are powerless to muzzle.

That prayer was horrible, yet what bothers me more was whether or not the prayer itself was seen by Obama’s personnel or even Obama himself. It might be forgivable if it’s just the personal words of some hateful old man who is living in the past still, but if anyone from the inauguration committee saw that, then there needs to be a heaping of outrage.

But I don’t know. Is it common practice for these sorts of things to be vetted ahead of time? I’m *trying* to give Obama the benefit of the doubt on this one, but I am finding it hard to do so.

He is what he is. He is a low life racist bigot. He will always see the world through the prism of race. His hatred of whites with his age means he is incorrigible. So we just pity him and move forward knowing he will be left behind, and good riddance to him.

I wouldn’t even really mind (or even applaud) the un PC-ness of it. But unfortunately it’s not limited to that. Watch how he portrays the minorities as just “barely being able to survive” and when it comes to the whites he treats them as the oppressor who needs to now “embrace what is right”. No cute “and the whites can delight (sorry I had too).

I now wonder how on the mark Jonah Goldberg’s proclamation of the “White man as the Jew of liberal fascism” will be if our President not only provides a forum for this race baiter but personally applauds his inflammatory and racist statements.

…is a relic from the past, he’s from a different time. It’s just like older white Americans express concern over Obama because of his skin color. It’s not that their neccessarily racist because they know better, it’s just they live in a different time.

Obviously, black people are not being “asked to get in the back….” we have a black president for crying out loud! This prayer was a tad inappropriate at the swearing in of the first black President.

“White will embrace whats right”? So what the heck are you trying to say Mr. Lowery, you are no man of God! Take a long walk off a short pier, Please! I made that respectful with the Please, right?

Did not take long for the end of childish ways to end.

that’s what he meant by his line about not judging “love”

Lowery is wrong about the changes that he thinks are going to happen in this country.

It’s far from brilliant, but it’s not terrible, either.

Nor do I think that the ending was racist. It was misplaced, superfluous, and silly, yes.

Obama knows plenty of other racists, very intimately even (his father-like reverend, various leftists, and his own grandmother, apparently) but this isn’t one of them.

(No disrespect meant, Jeff. I highly appreciate what you contribute here, especially when it comes to the war.)

I’m an American of Japanese descent and I’m fuming at being called “yellow”–that’s right up there with being called a “Jap”!

And I also was insulted with having the “mellow” label thrown at me–as in “All Asians are quiet and deferential–they don’t make trouble, they’re so mellow.”

That is another stereotype INSULT.

Obama and his people are obsessed with RACE. It’s the only reason why he’s President.

How would blacks like it if I said, “Blacks have natural rhythm and are superior at track and field.”

They’re so stupid that it hasn’t even occurred to them that they just insulted every Asian in America.
