To TCM:

What a sore loser! Obama "barely" won the popular vote? What planet have you been on? Lazy lib slackers and ACORN? Perhaps, TCM, you should read how YOUR candidate supported ACORN right down the line. Again, I repeat, you must be a sore loser. There are many people out there that are proud to have someone new in the White House with new ideas as opposed to the same old whining by people like you concerning handouts...there have been handouts...TO THE RICH.

JIM – you're so right. Out of all the things that flew around during the election; one of the major reasons I'd never vote for this guy is his refusal to visit our wounded trips during his ONE overseas trip, unless the media could accompany him and photograph him....what a loser! That's spitting in the face of our military personnel...not one of them should have voted for him.

H-Rod, do you know that more money is spent on illegals than on the war? Also, Cammander is spelled Commander, and hiest is spelled heist.....Finally, to further show you're ignorant, had Bush not taken the war to them, they'd have executed further terrorist attacks on our soil....so, any and all of you libs that think Bush did wrong, perhaps he did in many areas, however, he's kept our soil safe. Obama wants to "negotiate," with terrorists. What he fails to realize is it's about religion, and they're radicals...sorta like ACORN folks; there's no rationalizing with them. You're going to reap what you've sown; and soon we'll have further economic problems, social divide, and will look ripe for the picking for encroaching countries....such idiots liberals are; endangering us all, even their own children, for the cause of their own selfishness....

I will now gladly make my contribution to the expected (and soon to be regulated) American suffering by having my TV cable and Internet unplugged for the next 4 years. This will make Obama/Biden happy that I have saved so much money by not watching them on TV or reading CNN articles about the wonders they will surely perform.

jean in MN – something concrete? Well, they've come up with plenty and the media, along with the corrupt regime of Obama have suppressed all contra Obama stories....you idiot libs will regret the day, don't worry. So many stupid people in this country, it's ashame one soldier had to die to defend such ignorance as you liberal morons display here.....

By the way, JEAN, where will the money come from when tax cuts are made...to pay the bills the taxes were paying? You libs can't see past the end of your entitlement noses...Obama's going to tax and spend this country into divide...get ready....I am.

To TCM: Same old crappy hateful drivel, new day. Don't you know you sound like a scratched record? Why do you persist in repeating the same inane comments over and over again? Every liberal I know, including myself and my husband, have jobs or careers, pay taxes, donate to charity groups. Most of the liberals I know have college degrees, and many have post-graduate degrees as well. You are pathetic.

TCM-The folks you state are waiting for entitlements" are not the ones you need to loose sleep over. It is the one's that have busy robbing us of our 401k value and the banks and insurance companys getting tons 'o' cash from the current administration.

"We are not a red america, or a blue america, we are the United States of America" BHO.

The quote above; is the real essence of what our founding fathers created.

May the power go out.

You couldn't pay me to go to this ghetto event. Ugh...the thought of him as President makes me ill. This man is NOT by any means qualified for this job.

who the hell is going to pay for all this crap....... with such a financial crisis we are in the middle of how much of this bill is the tax payer going to pay for..... i guess the second coming of JESUS is among us.... i think his good buddy OPRAH should forgo buying her house in D.C. and use that money to pay for this fiasco..

Who would watch this guy get sworn in,,,, Maybe just to watch and see what will happen on this dreadful night in the history of the U S A

The closer we get to the inauguration, the nastier the nay-sayers get. This is absolutely hilarious.

Jim obviously missed the story that the Commander-in-Chief ball was one of the first balls the Transition team confirmed that PE Obama would be attending .. and that he would be inviting hundreds of service personnel, wounded warriors and military family members to attend.

If you're going to carp about Obama's supposed slights, at least get your story right. Or are you just sore that you didn't get an invitation?

The world is falling down arounr our ears and they are worried about a "gala inauguration". Really concerned about the state of affairs.

BUSH WAS A FAKE CAMMANDER IN CHIEF ALL HE DID WAS GET A LOT BRAVE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEM KILLED FOR NO REASON IN IN THE WORLDS BIGGEST HIEST THE BIGGEST STICKUP OF ALL TIME!!! OBAMA KEEP YOUR PROMISE AND BRING THOSE TROOPS HOME GET THEM OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN ONE BILLION A WEEK AND COUNTING

TCM...Boy, you sure know how to put a damper on things. Get over it. It's the inauguration, we have one every 4yrs, it's a big celebration and alot of money is spent putting it together. So take your meds, curl up in a fetal position in the corner and wait until when you have something to complain about. For God's sake, the man hasn't even taken the oath yet! Some of you people are so depressing! Lighten up!
And Mike from Syracuse, NY...What a stupid, racist comment.

Rev. Warren has been talked about as "a best selling author". I have his book THE PURPOSE DRIVEN. Guess what, I did not go to a book store and purchase it. I was contacted by phone by a religious group (his?) and offered the book free, not even shipping charges. It is time we get smart and start asking who, when, where and why again! And as to Jeb Bush running for President – I lived in Florida for 7 years, it was a pleasure to see him and the crook E. Clay Shaw voted out.

TCM, In case you hadn't noticed, George Bush never worked a day in his life for anything. He got into college on his name, made C's, avoided the military, was given a baseball team and oil company which he ruined, ran for Governor, was GIVEN the Presidency by the Supreme Court after LOSING the popular vote, was again given the Presidency due to voting irregularities in Ohio that Kerry chose not to challenge...and you're whining about Obama?
I pay my bills on time too, but I have empathy for those folks whose jobs are gone and are struggling. No one is GIVING away your tax dollars except GWB, who is squandering all our money in Iraq. Be mad at HIM.

but I am not really getting into this, there is really too much to do, but celebrate as we go and remember to celebrate the accomplishments as we go, we have as a country a lot of mess to fix from the Bush years

TCM....

Do you understand that President Obama was NOT the one who got the Nation into the economic mess so anything that he does to try to resolve this mess should be applauded by all Americans...until PE Obama does something that incurs your wrath, why don't you try to at least be quiet....President Bush has NOT said or did anything in the last 6(six) months to try and help RESOLVE this National crisis, AND HE IS PRESIDENT!!!!!! Bush & Co., have known for years that this crisis was approaching and have sat back and watched and LIED about the "fundalmentals of our economy" saying that it "is strong"...if you are angry at anyone, you should be angry at President Bush & his Republican "sidekicks"....but guess what, that would be too much like "right" for you blinded mice to do, now wouldn't it?

To TCM, If your forefathers would be ashamed of what has happened to this country, who would the be ASHAMED of: Certainly you don't blame President Elect Obama? you idiot. If he is ousted as you say in 4 years and you get your GOPback in then and only then will your forefathers truly be afraid.

while bush was in office it was nothing but praise as he used the constitution for toilet paper and sat back and watched the country go down the tubes........so now it's cheap racist remarks and can't quite figure out how to get a republican in any office..keep crying it is working great for the dems

It's really too bad that Obamna doesn't considering honoring the military as that important, since they're snubbing the "Commander-in-Chief's Ball", dedicated to our armed forces. Apparently they're not longer "premier" enough for the Obamas.

TCM, you must have missed the story about the Bush Secretary of the Interior that just spent 245,000.00 of your tax dollars to redo his office bathroom which include a refrigerator, freezer, imported tile and wood panneling.

Mike, Syracuse, NY:
Some of your comments show the reason why the Republican Party is so deep in the "toilet" that using a plunger would only pull up more "shlt"...get a life...the way things are today, not only will they need medal detectors for this event, he will probably need them for all his events...with all the dead of night "white sheet" wearers crawling out from under their rocks, he will undoubtedly feel more secure in this situation surrounded by "folks" that need medal detectors. He probably wouldn't be safe walking around in a room full of your kind of folks, which by the way you are talking, are polite "white sheet wearing" southern "gentlemen" who have a perverted and racist view of people who do not look or sound like themselves....

@TCM,
A win does not go in the books as "BARELY WON THE ELECTIO". It goes in the books as a WIN or a LOSS. Pres Elect Obama will not BARELY be a President. He will not Barely be a world leader. He will not BARLEY be your President. HE WILL BE THE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

Get over it TCM. Everyone did not vote for him but he IS going to be the President of all and that includes you so why don't you join others that voted and didn't vote for him as we try to turn this nation around to get us out of this mess we are in. If you cannot do that at the least you might sit quietly on the side lines and allow others of us to make an effort to turn around this nation.

Mike, its sounds like you haven't been to DC in a long while. Don't hate because Obama is opening this up to the public......you know the people he works for.

Give it up TCM et al. Why don't all you nuts wait until you actually have something concrete to gripe about? Although I do not expect that we will ever hear anything positive from you if Obama's tax cuts, etc. POSITIVELY affect you, your employer, state or this country.

i don't think a 500 dollar tax cut will do much good to fix our economy, it's not even a bandaid, it's more like pouring iodine on the cut, it only makes it hurt worse. have fun at all your parties.

I keep wondering if this site only allowed decent entries, would this comment section be empty? A lot of you should have learned that if you don't have anything good to say- keep your mouth shut.

Mike of Syracuse, you and all the other MOSSAD Agents in America need to be rounded up as enemies of the state and sent back to Israel.

Where do the proceeds go?

Mike in Syracuse:

GET OVER IT!!!! Our President-Elect is black and there's nothing you can do about it

Note to TMC:

Acorn was NOT about voter fraud. It was about voter registration fraud.
There is a difference but only recognized by those of us intelligent to see the difference.

Mike, Syracuse NY January 5th, 2009 1:36 pm ET
If they're inviting the boys from the 'hood, I hope they have lots of metal detectors.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Why don't you go to the ball and say that at the front door of the DC Convention Center?

You'd run like a coward from anyone who doesn't look like you.

To those of you who are still angry about the election...when the first tax reductions come into effect...send them BACK, in protest. Let's see how many of you do it, after all you are people of principle, aren't you? Yeah, right.

General election was 53% Obama 46% for McCain hardly my idea of "barely" winning the popular vote.

TCM – um...did you just crawl out from under a rock, where you had been for the last 8 years?

Thanks,
Karl

This is so hard for "some" Americans to accept!

Mike-Syracuse.....Come to the hood and ask that question.....You're probably some big fat scaredy cat.....lol

The true racist, bigoted republican comes out when they lose. Funny thing is a complete Idiot has been in the white house for the past 8 years.

Some of the comments posted here must have been done so in order to solicit an angry response......I refuse to believe that some people are just that bitter and well.......stupid!?

@TCM,I love to watch the limbaugh following bigots squirm the closer we get,thanks you make my day.

I just thought of something, Republicans lost to a black man, with a middle name Hussien...lolololololololololololololol That speaks volumes, what a bunch of Idiots.

Mike, Syracuse NY = Wow are your parents out of prison already? What a Idiot. What's funny you Idiots don't have a clue as to why your losers.

TCM...to use Bush's term.."it was a thumpin'"...this new train is moving with or without you...so quit moaning and get on board and get to work for ALL AMERICA....

Mr. President, you're the best!!! I'm so happy to be alive to witness a true inclusive PRESIDENT! Our nation deserves YOU!!!

A good idea!

You might want to rethink your statement, TCM.

Mr. Obama won the popular vote by nearly 10 million votes, it was the 6th largest margin of vitory in the history of the country. Pretty good, in everyone's opinion.Try again in EIGHT years, best of luck.

Its about Time and TCM go stick your head in a hole and stay their with your anti Obama comments .
You GOPers of the Rightwing lost this election.

People in this country work hard for the moeny and Obama is not giving anyone a handout .

In other countries Like Sweden or Denmark working people have more paid vacation time called Holidays.

The Govenment actually pays people to take Holidays what a great idea instead of spending billions of dollars on Was like Bush did.

TCM Bush supported Wall Street over Main Street enough is enough.

Wake up the World is changing and Obama is our next President and four years from now will again be our President.

Mike in Syracuse and TCM

You losers are pathetic. As I read your blogs I am LMAO. medal detectors, well duh!! of course they will have them whether boys in the hood come or not, LOL It's the stupid ignorant commets like this that shows how stupid people are, stop hating Obama is the president so deal with, morons. LOL

It sounds like an amazing event! And JM, BJ and Mike...you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Can't wait to see how everyone is dressed-will all of those "neighbors" get to wear designer dresses like the Mrs. and kids? Or can they come in their Sunday best? Will be interesting–the elite with the common man.

If they're inviting the boys from the 'hood, I hope they have lots of metal detectors.

Jeff in illinois...where's the shortfall going to come from? Print more money?

Proud American...you're kidding right? The Dem Congress is the group that screwed the country...and now a puppet's going into play for them...the nightmare begins 20 Jan....

Obamamama – Santa's not real, neither is Obama.

The "Neighborhood Inaugural Ball" is yet another way that shows President-Elect Obama will be a president for all Americans. There is no doubt he will be a great president.....January 20 can't come soon enough!! The world is anxiously awaiting for that day also.

The nights premiere event will be at my house, where I will be watching something other than the circus.

Hey JM

What do you know about Mad Dog or cheap beer? Oh yeah you wouldn't because you fall into the tax bracket that can afford the expensive libations. ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Wrong, Obama. It's not a night for all Americans. You barely won the popular vote, and in 4 yrs when you're ousted, that will be a night for all Americans. For the Americans who worked and saved and paid their bills, as respectable citizens do, its a sad occasion when the lazy lib slackers of this country create a big enough wave of corruption, via ACORN, to allow someone in the White House that wants to provide entitlements to the extent it will break the back of the country...what happened to initiative? Working for a living? Making your own way? Instead of sitting back and waiting for the government handout? Our forefathers would be ashamed of what this country's become.

lol that was a good one Jeff !! you forgot to add the $250,000 buisness write off as weel (up 100,000) lol

What type of entertainment is being offered? Acapella? Love to go if they are singing....

Jeff in Illinois...
You must have enjoyed the two 600 dollar credits Bush gave you!

Don't forget Obama's proposed 600 Billion for the wealthy... some democrat eh? You get 500 bucks... they get 600 Billion...

It looks like it's going to be an awesome occasion. i wish i could attend the ball.

Obama needs to include taking away tax incentives (or just charging them some how) from companies who ship existing American jobs overseas. Some American companies have gone buck wild about using cheaper overseas labor. I understand the right to make more money, but American companies need to also become more patriotic about keeping Americans employed here and letting some of that always fighting to increase net income go.

Please tell me why you refuse to print anything I comment on? Is there a reason or are you just too bias to print anything that does not agree with what you want to read. Shame on you. Betty

This is just so exciting. I feel like a kid at Christmas. So proud of my first family.

Can you imagine the line at the metal detectors?

America our national 8 year nightmare is almost over. For one night lets forget about all the problems republicans will be handing us and have a nice Jan. 20th.

given the price of a "good" inaugural ball, i guess my rebate in fact has no real value.

They'll be serving mad dog and cheap beer.

I wonder if all of the $20-50k income range Republicans are going to be upset about the $500 tax credit Obama is proposing, since it benefits individuals, instead of the extremely wealthy. Normally, these people are only supportive of those who make decisions against their interests.
