BOO HOO, Conservatives Did Not Like Obama's Inauguration Speech?
“Did conservatives take these lines as obvious, personal attacks? You betcha. I would too, if I were them."
To Mitt Romney: “The commitments we make to each other through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security….do not make us a nation of takers.”
To the climate change denialists: “Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms.”
To the neocons: “We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war.”
To the voter suppression gangs in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and elsewhere: “Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote.”
To the NRA: “Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm.”
To the entire tea party wing of the GOP: “We cannot mistake absolutism for principle or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate.”
If "conservatives" find Obama's remarks to be offensive... Too bad. Why should I or anyone spare the usual fake outrage of radicals who reject science, equal rights, & peace?
