Naw.

The media and the usual disciples of modern liberalism all acted like salvation was at hand when Billary was inaugurated in 1993. Didn't last long. Won't this time, either, especially as their circulation numbers continue to tank - pretty soon they won't have enough money to print newspapers hailing the second coming.

I admired President Reagan, but I wasn't all ga ga over him..

I will always remember when they were driving Presidents Reagan's casket to his final resting place and the hundreds of cars and thousands of people who stopped on the roads to wave and salute..that was very beautiful..

the media has turned me off of watching any of this inauguration..and of course, I'm no fan of the little Marxist.

Little Acorn, this time really is different.

The "train" came through my state today. A black man in his 20's was interviewed on the news after he watched the train go by.

He said:
"If I die today. I'l die fulfilled because I saw this".

I haven't seen any politician treated like this. And he hasn't even done a thing yet.

Yes, Avi, I am concerned. I have been concerned for quite a while.

Nope not concerned at all. Same thing happened before you were born with the JFK campaign and election.

It will be so painful for some when he falls from glory and reality strikes. I think the honeymoon will not last four years and doubt it will for four months.

I think many are already feeling the pain. But that's not relevant to the OP post.

It doesn't really concern me. The GOP acted in much the same way over Bush in 2001, as the Dems over Clinton in '93. Obama will prove himself to be human over the course of his term, and the hype will fade.

Jeff, I never heard anyone say anything approaching the quote I posted above when Bush was elected. What I did see was a "Yay, we won, hopefully we can see some good policy now" attitude prevailing. Ditto with Clinton.
The happiness seemed pretty typical for a winning side. This Messiah-like adoration for Obama, this hope that one man can actually change their lives, is something new in my lifetime.

Come to think of it, you're quite right...JFK was just about idolized, before, during and after the election of 1960....and his assassination just caused more and more adoration....course I was a Democrat back then, stationed in Gitmo and on alert for a Cuban attack....

No other election in recent history can compare to JFK's or Obama's.....not even close......

I'm not overly concerned and I do remember the 'Camelot' period, although I was very young, my parents volunteered for his campaign. However if memory serves, he came in when the economy was on the upswing, the country was united against an enemy, and there was no competition from the American production machine. For the most part, while not happy about losing and much discussion about Illinois and Texas 'stealing' the election, there was the idea that 'our president is Our President.' Then glamor and glitz kicked in.

Obama is facing very different times, economically and culturally. While many are willing to give him a 'chance' many are not. They don't care that his failure will cause a world of hurt, they are mad at 'the libs' and want retribution. I don't agree with much of what I'm hearing, for the same reasons I didn't like what the Bush administration did economically. More of the same, funny thing though, I think his biggest problems will be coming from Congress.
