Meet the new boss, (almost) the same as the old boss
Best line in Obama's inauguration speech:
"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and nonbelievers."Yea! I got mentioned! Although the Zoroastrians must be feeling dissed.
Worst line:
"For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.""Khe Sahn"? Fought and died for the ruling class, maybe (although, frankly, arguable). Fought and died for "us"? Hardly. Well, I suppose I should be thankful he didn't include Baghdad and Kabul in the list.
