A New Age of "Responsibility???"

Yesterday Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in to be the next President of the United States. During his long awaited inaugural speech, he preached that his presidency will bring in a new age of responsibility and I started wondering how that sounds like what every other president says when they are crowned but it does not really mean anything.

I could not help my self wonder "where is the change?" when I was browsing the footage from yesterday's inauguration. The whole ceremony was filled with Christian religious figure after Christian religious figure. I could not help notice there were no ambassadors of the Jewish faith or Muslim faith or Hindu faith present and speaking, not to mentioned that atheist figure that all atheists look up to (not god). You can not call yourself a nation of no official religion and a separation of Church and State and then swear on a Bible and get inaugurated by one of the most intolerant figures in modern day religion.

The second action not-taken that belittles Obama's words that much more was that he allowed a War Criminal to just leave the White House and fly away back to Texas after sitting through his inauguration. Last week Obama commented that he always thought that Bush is basically a "good guy." Lets break down that statement and find out why is it absolutely moronic. Obama has been against the war in Iraq from day one and he voted it against it in Congress. He claimed then that the war was manufactured and there is absolutely no reason for us to be there. The war in Iraq, since 2003, has produced an extremely large number of Iraqi casualties that varies from 90,000 to over 1 million depending on who you ask. So Bush's Manufactured war cost at least 90,000 people (not to mention over 5000 Americans) their lives, how is that not criminal?

Bush left a whole American city drowning and almost 2,000 Americans dead (see the Investigation of State of Emergency declaration), how is that not criminal? How about the torture that was allowed publicly, how is that not criminal? How about stripping regulations from the entire financial industry and therefore allowing the economy to go into the worst shape since the Great Depression, which ruined thousands of lives, how is that not criminal? Allowing the man responsible for all of these actions, a man so hated in the entire world (with a few exceptions) and regarded as an imperialist to fly home with dignity, how is that not criminal?

My favorite part of the inauguration was when the Obamas were dancing the night away, the stock market was plummeting faster than you can say "so help me God!"
