As the Rev. Jesse Jackson looked down from the west front of the Capitol to the sea of people stretching across the Mall, past the Washington monument to the Lincoln Memorial, he thought of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington.
"The march was not this big," the civil rights veteran said. "It is a level of unspeakable joy," he said of Obama's inauguration. "For the civil rights veterans, it's a joy of achievement...for President Obama it's a joy of accomplishment. "

Not joyful, and no change: click the link to see Iranians burning a photo of Obama today.

So much for "change" in how the Muslim world views us. But it's still all Bushitler's fault!

Yeah, why hasn't Obama solved the Iranian question yet? He's been president for almost five hours now. And why is there still cancer? Are our troops home yet? No. Take THAT change!

Iranians burning photo of Barack????
Well, paradoxically, good!
They sense he means business.
Jesse, you are not forgiven for that "talking down to..." remark.
Maybe you were "projecting", as the shrinks might say.

Pay to play,
You just got owned. For good reason, too. You were deliberately trying to be an idiot. Please stop hating America. The rest of us would appreciate that very much.
Best regards.
