Quite an emotional speech too.

He was incredibly gracious.

we are really excited, and hopeful to see what will become of this.

Indeed we are, JP.

Maybe an historical day ... but Obama is faced with a country in ruins.

I'm really curious to see what he is going to change and how and at what cost.

It always happens. It isn't appropriate, but there are always a few of them. No biggie... just a bit of emotion and frustration.

I guess you have to see it from a distance mate, ie, the other side of the Atlantic. :unsure:

- The U.S. of A. is fighting in two devastating wars (Afghinistan and Iraq);
- The U.S. of A. has a huge dificit in it's states budget (due to those wars and other economic factors);
- The U.S. of A. is struggling with a huge banking crysis;
- The U.S. of A. is in an economic recession;
- The U.S. of A. has a social system that is failing;
- Consumer confidence is at an all-time low;
- Unemployment is skyhigh;
- 85% of it's inhabitants are under the impression it isn't going good at all with their nation;
- You're international relationships have been seriously deteriorating during the past 8 years.

I am no U.S. of A. hater or so. It's just the view of an objective bystander who observes from a distance (like Skweeky said).

That's why I said obama will have a very hard time to get the U.S. of A. back on track.

I don't think America is any more in ruins than for example the UK, france or germany to be honest :dabs:

That might be the case, but that wasn't what I said ... I didn't say only the U.S.A. is in ruins ... I said Obama will have a hard time getting the U.S. back on it's feet after the last 8 years.
