I actually kinda like it.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, this isn't a bad composition.

Oath of Office!!!!!!!!!

 

[Axver]

Here we go, time for Obama's oath!

 

[Serena Vox]

 

[Axver]

Oh man I can't believe they fucked it up!

But what an awesome moment.

 

[Serena Vox]

That was awesome.

But wow. Obama's President now.

 

[Reggo]

Oh man I can't believe they fucked it up!

But what an awesome moment.

I know, right! Awesome!

 

[Axver]

And now the speech!

BUSH IS OFFICIALLY GONE. Good riddance.

 

[Axver]

Wow, he's being blunt. This is good.

 

[Serena Vox]

BUSH IS OFFICIALLY GONE. Good riddance.

About time!

ObamaSpeeches

 

[Axver]

An olive branch extended to the world.

International Relations norms and balances are going to shift.

 

[Axver]

He acknowledged non-believers. Rock on.

Far too often it seems acknowledging diversity of religion fails to acknowledge lack of religion. Good on you for not falling victim to that, Obama.

 

[Serena Vox]

His speeches are so moving.

 

[Axver]

His speeches are so moving.

I can't say I find it especially moving per se, perhaps because I'm a foreigner, but I find it eloquent, articulate, emphatic, and coherent. Perhaps even a little inspiring, i.e. that things are going to be done differently. And that is very powerful, and very welcome.

Where's the cornflakes smiley? Cause my eyes are full of happy tears.

 

[Axver]

Is this a poem recitation or some stilted list of instructions for five year olds?

 

[Reggo]

poem blows

 

[Reggo]

I think it's directed to those who need their art spoon-fed to them.

:cornflakes:

There you go.

 

[Serena Vox]

Yeah, I can't see how it'd really move someone not of this country.

 

[Reggo]

:cornflakes:

There you go.

Thanks.

 

[Reggo]

Seems cruel to make that old man get out of his chair and make a speech.

 

[Axver]

This current chap is showing Rick Warren how religion should be done.

 

[Reggo]

Fuck yeah.

 

[Serena Vox]

Thanks.

Cornflakes? Wtf? Did I miss something?

 

[Reggo]

Humour at the end, nice.

 

[Axver]

Humour at the end, nice.

I liked that. Good touch.

That whole thing was inclusive. Rick Warren's was just off-putting, but that made even me not feel like that much of an outsider.

 

[Reggo]

play ball!
