It takes a very small mind that would say that any person who supports Obama thinks he is a GOD. Give "fans" as you called those who voted him into office a bit of credit here. Our nations history was being made that day. His part in making that history had every thing to do with him being an inspiring MAN; not a false God. If you where not touched,moved or inspired by his speech, so be it. Just please don't insult those of us who are by warning us of a false God. As if; a hero, a mentor, a historic figure, or a leader; is nothing more then a "man" or "women" who inspires us to be all that God would have us be. As a nation. As a people.

I DID NOT VOTE FOR THE MAN BUT AS HE HAD BEEN INTRODUCED BY OPRAH AS THE ONE I EXPECTED MUCH MORE THAT HE GAVE. AND SINCE EVERYONE ELSE COMPARES HIM TO LINCOLN AND JOHN KENNEDY, WHOSE SPEECH I REMEMBER TO THIS DAY, I EXPECTED MORE. I HOPE THAT HE CAN PULL THE COUNTRY TOGETHER AND HELP GET THE ECONOMY BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK. I DO WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE COUNTRY AS HE IS, IT SEEMS WITHOUT A PLAN IN PLACE TAKING THE INTELLANGCE AGENCYS APART AND PLANNING TO BRING TERRORISTS TO THE CONTENTIAL US WITHOUT A PLAN ON WHERE TO PUT THEM AND KANSAS AND SC INDICATING THAT THEY DON'T WANT THEM. I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR FOR SPEAKER PELOSI AND SENATOR FINESTEIN SCREAM WHEN CALIFORNIA IS BROUGHT UP AS THE STATE TO PUT THEM.

Its funny.. A guy who speaks about "Americans being more responible" 153 millions dollars.. Gone in one day on his Inauguration.. I dont care if some of it wasnt tax payers money. When theres Americans loseing there homes and out of work and HURTING. There are much better ways to use 153 million. So of us Americans need to remember "HE is NOT GOD" Jesus Christ is Obama is just a man. Jesus is still in control. And his words states. If my people who are called by my NAME will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and TURN from there evil ways I will HEAL there land. And we can all agree "American needs some healing" Of course some of us like our "evil ways and sin" we dont want to honor God. At some point even a loving and gentle God will cast "judgement". Some of what we are going thur is "birth pains" to the return of Christ. What an awesome time to be a Christain. God Bless America!!!

Now he's POTUS. The people worship him. Will he actually do any different than Bush? Yes he's eloquent. Yes he's popular. Lets see what he does in office.

its about time someone reminded some of his supporters that he is only a man. Any cult like following of a political leader creeps me out, but hey thats just me. Maybe because I happen to be a student of history and know the horror that can lead to.

Great speech!! More power to you Mr. President. What is most important in facing the challenges is to always have a HEART. God be with you always, Sir!!
