Just a question, but do any of you guys over the pond think there's too much faff surrounding the president/presidency? After all, it is a republic, he's not an emperor or a monarch. Just wondering.

You mean people jerking off to bush and the stars and stripes? I think its not something typically american but rather something that all big countries/ superpowers need. Think? Have there ever existed a big superpower without a big guy representing and holding it together? Its hard otherwise to keep so large groups of people loyal to one political line. You need to be something exceptional to be a leader in this cind of states. So I dont blame them trying to do the same thing with bush, especially in insecure times of war and dead GI:s,

Guys, I never singled out Bush. I meant the pomp surrounding any president. As you say He219, Clinton's was the same, so was Bush Sr., Reagan, etc etc...

Any of you think it's a tad over the top for a republic?

[American Patriot]

It's a celebration, bitches.

[He219]

Any of you think it's a tad over the top for a republic?
No, it's a style we inherited from our former colonial overlords ...

P.s: God save the Queen!

[Sabre]

For example, when emper...I mean Prime Minister Blair won his second term as PM, all he did was give a quick speach outside No. 10, wave a bit and then went in for a cup of tea.

I know TB isn't the head of state, but the President is still an elected representative. When the Queen dies, no doubt there be a big ceremony as we get Charles III (or George VII, he might change his name), but that doesn't happen often and it's all a throw back to when the 'great unwashed' were a lot more uninformed thatn they are now and really thought the monarch was a divine ruler. Plus the monarch doesn't really have any power now so it doesn't mean much anyway.

Do you not think it's a bit odd to treat an elected representative the same as a monarch/emperor etc? (might go to his head) After all, they are no better than you or I, that's the whole point.

[He219]

It's just an Inauguration, for goodness sakes, Sabre!

It's not like the masses are bowing in front of our illustrious leader under divine servitude ..

I see a public ceremony for our Commander in Chief, a 21 gun salute and a parade. What's the big deal? 76 Trombones at the big parade!

I for one would feel alot better about myself if Bush just gave a wave outside the White House instead of this dog and pony show, especially with everything thats going on right now. Personally I think its obscene.

[Sabre]

It just seems to be making a man out to be more than he is. I suppose I just don't like people lording it about. I'm not a fan of pomp and ceremony (apart from rememberance services, they deserve it), especially for someone who is still alive and with a job yet to do.

I'm not suggesting you guys see him as a deity! Just think it's a bit too much. Probably just me being a typical understated brit/canuck!

[Apogee]

Watching the parade, i noticed that the left side (right if you are facing the limo) LED on his limo was blue, but it was red on the other two. Just an observation.

The cost wasn't as much as people make it out to be. The swearing-in ceremony only cost $1 Million. The cost for the security was footed by the city of DC out of funds previous given to them by Congress for- guess what- improved security. ;)

The parties and functions afterwards are all privately funded. Now, perhaps the American people could have donated to a different cause, but it's their money and they have a right to spend it how they wish.

Yeah there are alot of Bush bashers and people saying the money for the inauguration should have gone towards other things, but the inauguration is part of American history. Since George Washington in 1789, I believe, to 2005 there has always been an inauguration for a president. Its a 200 hundred year old tradition and it will continue for hundreds of MORE years. So get over it, hope the Bush daughters get drunk and make out, and prepare for four more years.

If we all do the math correctly, the so-called Hippie generation is now in their late middle ages and are people who are, obviously, very liberal. Who's running public and, especially, private universities today? That same generation. We have former hippies running the higher education of America today. I'm not saying that's bad, military academies are a different breed, but let's not forget the obvious as to why most protesters are college students or their peers.

President Bush gestures the ''Hook 'em, 'horns' salute of the University of Texas Longhorns as he and his family watch the Inaugural Parade Thursday Jan. 20, 2005, in Washington. President Bush's 'Hook 'em, 'horns' salute got lost in translation in Norway, where shocked people interpreted his hand gesture during his inauguration as a salute to Satan.

Three protesters sit locked to gasoline pumps with bicycle locks, awaiting arrest during a protest in Portland, Ore., Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005. At least 2,000 activists marched through downtown Portland, to protest President Bush's inauguration, the Iraq war and the administration's economic and social policies. Police said that from 11 to 15 people were arrested during the day, most of them at the gas station.

95% of the festivites was paid for privately. THe other 5% was paid fort he by DC's federal grants. Weasel, I beleive they call one being against burning a flag standing up for a cause you believe in. When a protestor burns a flag they dont look at as a peice of cloth but they see it as a symbol. Most americans see it as a symbol millions have died for. If you dont give a **** that so many have died for what that flag stands for then you are " a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than yourself." According to your logic it is ok to burn a cross as well.

Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Due, right, a U.S. Army recruiter, is surrounded by protesters at Seattle Central Community College, Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005, in Seattle. After about a 10-minute standoff during which protesters tore up U.S Army literature, the protesters were successful in getting Due and another recruiter to leave their table under escort by campus security officers. Several hundred students walked out of classes at several Seattle colleges and universities to protest the inauguration of President Bush

A friend posted this on another board


According to this, they illegally impeded his work:
U.S. Code
TITLE 18
PART I
CHAPTER 115

§ 2388. Activities affecting armed forces during war

(a) Whoever, when the United States is at war, willfully makes or
conveys false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the
operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United
States or to promote the success of its enemies; or

Whoever, when the United States is at war, willfully causes or attempts
to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in
the military or naval forces of the United States, or willfully obstructs
the recruiting or enlistment service of the United States, to the
injury of the service or the United States, or attempts to do so—

Seems to me they willfully obstructed the recruiting, or attempted to
do so...

Damn

Was he the innaguration or the protest?

Since he saluting I must assume he's part of the public and NOT the protesters. He's a good Marine!!!

I don't know his first name, but his last name is Owen (if I remember corerectly) and the woman standing next to him is his mother

why dont you stop posting so much negative crap on this site or go back to your mirror
The negative crap will stop the moment the terms of use for this site are changed so that dissent/criticism of US actions abroad will not be tolerated anymore. Maybe a few hard-core political trolls would keep on going with "guerilla action" via proxies, but after a while most of us probably would quit posting. Would you be happy with that? You'd have your all-American/coalition-of-the-willing-friendly site all for yourselves.

"We" post "crap" about certain US foreign policies because we feel strongly about it. We would like nothing better than to see the jolly giant back - the USA who we could trust, the ally we could reason with, the friend who would not set us up with ultimatums like "you're either with us or against us" and demand that we should take part in crusades we don't believe in - we just don't know how to deal with this incredibly powerful troglodyte fueled by fear, apocalyptic visions of the religious right and unquestioning belief in the New American Century. I am sorry if it offends you, but that's the way I and many other people I know see it.

You speak of a mirror? We, the rest of the world, are YOUR mirror. Don't like what you see? Maybe you should check up on your government's actions on a media owned by someone else than Rupert Murdoch, tolerate our "crap" on this site and try to understand why we project this particular image back to to you.

Nordic Fire i respect your answer i can understand your individual viewpoint how you could be upset with the current situation and the way the us leadership is dealing with the problems trust me i am little upset myself but the people i am talking about are the type of people who come on to this site to just pick fun at every aspect of the us whether in politics military issues or customs i am just tired of people like weasel where every word that they speak is negative or is criticizing something or someone other than themselves i take in mature comments such as yours with no problem but when it is just non stop negativity it gets on my nerves i am sorry for my comments i am just tired of my entire country being bashed for one persons decisions so i hope no harm was done :) :hug:
