Bush was blasted for using 4,000 guards and 42 million for his second, which was during a period of economic stability. to top it off He's following Lincoln's footsteps, a figure which he in no way resembles, and has even decided to us the bible on which Lincoln was sworn in. This is a coronation not an inaugural event. They might as well build a grand temple complex around the Lincoln memorial and crave Old Abe out of his marble throne so Obama can ascend and take his media appointed crown. Heck maybe we can drag the Pope over, and a few foreign potentates to seal the image forever in our minds.
On another note, once the bleeding heart media realize they have no one to criticize since they gotten their messiah in office they'll run out of stories and material and hopefully burn themselves alive on prime time tv. I'd watch.
How much say do you imagine the President has in deciding his level of protection? There would be some input sure but if the Secret Service says lets have 40k and he says na let's aim for 5k then you can imagine its not going to go his way. The best experts in the US would be deciding what level of security there needs to be. It's unfair to blame Obama for people wanting to kill him.
Presidents use bibles from other presidents inaugurations all the time. George H. Bush was sworn in on Washington's bible. Does that mean he thinks he's Washington? Of course not it's a mark of respect to a great man. But for what it's worth Lincoln and Obama have a lot in common. Both were lawyers; both represented Illinois (Obama as a Senator and Lincoln in the House of representatives). The similarities could be listed for quite some time but obviously I think the greatest of which will be what they have both done for the African American community. Lincoln formally freed them and Obama has shown that they can be President of the United States. That's not just a feel good notion, it really does matter.

Obama had a grandmother or something that wasn't a citizen and he said to deport her. Obama? I'll pass.
American's weren't allowed to say it? I seem to remember seeing Ann Coulter and her like referring to him almost exclusively by Hussein. Do you really think they had some particularly moral reason to do so? They were trying to scare people and that's the only reason anyone did it.
It wasn't his Grandmother, his Grandmother was White and born in the USA. It was his Aunt who was denied refugee status. Obama hardly knows the woman having seen her only a few times in the last 20 years. He didn't say that she should be deported, he released a statement saying something to the effect that he doesn't know what her status is but what ever the case, the law should be followed. What is so wrong with that?

I presented him as God-Emperor of the West. Wholly different story. And yes, I stole worship elements from various religions. Does that make him Allah? No. Not to someone who actually bothers to read.
