even the national anthem was terribleI am hugely amused by how a country that has been so inventive and decisive for tech and science still can be so backwards when it comes to religion.
I guess a lot of it has to do with a lot of their original settlers being "outcasts" in Europe for their weird religious ways (look at all the types of Christians you have in the US compared to us in Europe), and that shit just took root in their society.

"From this day forward, it's going to be America and Russia first."
Going out on a limb here but "stirring up a burning rage" among any segment of the electorate would have to go down as a crap inauguration speech.
1st thing up....bye bye climate action plan
Which is why I think this 'He'll be good and he'll be pivot for the center' bollocks infuriating. He'll do things for the people who voted for him. Idiots who voted for him or the third party and called it the protest vote deserves to be shot no, but at least a thorough whipping
I feel that the resurgence of christianity in the US in the 80s under Reagan is still taking place today.
Whilst Obama's speech was certainly inspiring it still had very much the same narrative to it that you've just called out. Just a difference in quality
So he genuinely wants big building projects. Probably with him making huge corrupt personal gains off the back end of it. All the while reducing taxes. Making American bankrupt in the long term but short term, making him and his cronnies rich and boosting the economy.
Have you guys read what Franklin Graham (evangelical dude on there after the Rabbi) has said about Islam? I highly doubt he'd share a stage with any Muslim up there.
Who is that guy in the wheelchair?
So Obama's speech was more inspirational and much better quality. Isn't that what people are saying?
Bob Dole - the GOP nominee in 96
Some fool on BBC saying this was an excellent polished speech
Bob Dole?
He's a cnut (I think bob dole)

This is going to be an insane next few years.
I felt like I was watching President Snow from Hunger Games addressing the peasants from The Capitol.
The whole "wiping Islamic terrorism off the face of this earth" while being "protected by God" was even more mental than I feared.

I am not pro Trump, his mad ramblings the last months has put me solidly in the against camp, but still I can't help to feel that media \ people and everyone is going a bit OTT in their criticism of him sometimes.
I mean, everything he does is attacked and scrutinized and portrayed in the worst way possible.
Just look at something so banal as him having a McD and some KFC the other day, that was portrayed and ridiculed as some lack of class. But if Obama did it it would be all "look at him being one of the people and totally unpretentious."
It just goes a bit OTT at times. Don't be mistaken, the guy is way out there, it just gets to be a bit much with the justified indignation and moral outrage sometimes.
Obama laughing and smiling with a guy who's questioned his citizenship for over 6 years.
He brought it on himself. Words matter. He'd soon find that out at a G7/G8 summit.
Yeah, that's definitely happening. And it's tempting to push back when you see it. Then I remember the guy's a war-mongering, lying, misogynist shite-hawk and any urge I have to speak up on his behalf immediately goes away.
Trump already collecting emoluments.
It's what decent ppl do...they maintain decorum. Something lost on Trump and his motherfecking voters
Lots of people who Trump criticized in his speech were present there. The whole thing is so fake and cringey and there are still too many people who eat that up.
When has a game of invisible friend Top Trumps ever harmed anyone?
Obama giving last minute instructions.
It's part of what they're saying sure...i was addressing the thematic complaints.
Sure people can go read Obamas speech to compare, i was bored at work so did it earlier
In terms of trying to heal the wounds and bringing people together, this was a complete joke of a speech and one of the worst speeches he could have given.
Michele Obama does not do a good job of hiding how pissed off she is
It's America, likelihood of getting shot is probably considerably higher
The American lobby system will never change. Democrat or Republican.
It's basically legalised bribery.
Michelle Obama looks she's going to bitch slap Trump any moment.
Now on to signing executive orders to undo Obama's.
