We at the Arena were asked what we would like to hear in the soon-to-be President’s Inaugural Address and whether President Bush ought to receive a few words of gratitude. My thoughts are here.
Predictably, there are a number of contributors who believe that no words of gratitude whatsoever should be offered to the outgoing President of the United States–recent traditions and expectations of courtesy and etiquette notwithstanding. I presume these are the same people who have complained over the past eight years about a hyperpartisan tone and about how we have been divided rather than united.
Harlan Ellison famously said that the two most common elements in the universe were hydrogen and stupidity. He forgot to mention hypocrisy.

The view while visiting downtown Lancaster...
CJB68 Sunday, January 18th at 5:14AM EST (link)There were a couple of things that I was thinking to myself while I was sitting out the chill in a downtown cafe in Lancaster, PA yesterday morning where they had a television tuned in to Obama’s pre-inaugural opening speech (with closed-captioning on). One kept repeating the line, “I’d like to see you actually mean what you say”; the other marveled at how much attention this was getting from the MSM when previous Presidents-elect never even caused a blink.

Ah, the old double standard, easily fixed...
Praying (Diary) Sunday, January 18th at 2:25PM EST (link)by two separate rule books. One set for the liberals, one for the conservatives. That’s why it’s OK to complain about Bush’s $40 million inauguration, but have no problems with Obama’s $160 million inauguration (I, however, have a problem with it… 2 more days to go and I’m sick to death of hearing about it – ENOUGH!). When conservatives stand on principle and don’t give in to the libs, they are non-partisan and ugly. When libs shut the conservatives out of the house and senate discussions and render then silent, it’s pretty much business as usual. Mommy, the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes – where is the brave child who will stand up and say this – loud enough for the media, and the citizenship, to hear???
