"Obama should get no more special treatment than our past presidents." I completely agree with this statement. Personally I am already sick of seeing his face on coins, shirts, e mails and hearing his "I am so great" speeches on tv here. He is totally being treated differently because of his race and skin color. If anyone cant see that then we as a country need to wake up!!

How many other elections had people bused in from homeless shelters to vote? How many other elections had drivers going to churches to take masses of people to vote? And when is the last time someone from the projects actually cared about the president and who won the vote? Call me racist if you want to. Personally I dont care. I think society is just twisted when it comes to color. I do think it is fitting he uses Lincolns bible because if it wasnt for him freeing the slaves obama would not be where he is...
All this hype about the swearing in and all the celebrations around it are, in my opinion, a crock of horse **** to feed an already swollen ego!

OH and your trble said "will actually have a very positive effect on the local economy," LOCAL being the key word... what about the rest of us citizens who are footing this bill?? Screw us because we dont live in the local area?? Good to know that we will have to deal with that attitude for the next 4 years...
