Obama inauguration: Who's watching live?

[Treacle Toes]

Aye, he's one hell of an orator. Now, if he can walk the walk too...

Near on impossible I fear...

 

[Balbi]

WE WILL FEDERALISE ABSTRACT DISPLAYS OF EMOTION!



Change is coming.

 

[Detroit City]

Hes soooo dreamy

 

[Dillinger4]

His speech is still laden with rhetoric though.

Rhetoric is pretty essential for a good speech.

His speech is still laden with rhetoric though.

Tbh, it reminds me a lot of the old-style oration I used to hear as a kid. Most politicians these days sound as if they're reading from a phone book when they make a speech.

 

[Melinda]

Apparently his chief speechwriter is just 27.

 

[secretsquirrel]

Tbf it's all about basically saying we're gonna have to slog our guts out. Good luck to him...

 

[Dillinger4]

Yeh. John Favereau. He was in The Soprano's, as well.

 

[quimcunx]

I thought one of them was a Brit. The guy who wrote his speech if he lost election?

Which pleases me.

If the suit fits...

Nail on head...call and response etc...

Quite, it was one of the subjects studied in the ancient world, along with philosophy and science (iirc).

 

[quimcunx]

West Wing isn't real, Balbi.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

lovely shot of a man yawning.

 

[El Jefe]

I got bored after Aretha's hat

 

[Detroit City]

sojourner is only 27?

 

[Balbi]

West Wing isn't real, Balbi.

Minority candidate runs against old dude. Minority candidate wins

 

[purplex]

Spoken like a true socialist

 

[Melinda]

Minority candidate runs against old dude. Minority candidate wins

High five!

 

[Balbi]

That infrastructure riff is The New New Deal innit.

And christ, he's good at this

 

[N_igma]

Spoken like a true socialist

Socialist?

 

[purplex]

HE lost that nerviousness the minute he started this speech, incredible!

He moves me

 

[breasticles]

Yay non- believers!

 

[nino_savatte]

Spoken like a true socialist

Je suis perdu...

 

[Treacle Toes]

'patchwork heritage'... get in!

 

[Treacle Toes]

He moves me

Taking the piss?

 

[nino_savatte]

Well, I'm looking forward to unpacking the contents of this speech. Already, he's made some reference to "spreading freedom".

 

[red rose]

Good speech.
