Am I the only one trying to avoid all media today? I just saw a picture of his smug face on the front page of yahoo and almost lost my breakfast.
A couple of interesting things about the inauguration:
1. I have heard that Obama will be sworn in using his full name, Barack Hussein Obama. Funny that it was considered incredibly racist for any Republican to even mention his middle name, but it's ok for him to be sworn in under it.
2. I've heard there's a lot of controversy about Obama choosing Rick Warren to deliver the invocation because he's anti gay marriage. Well guess who else thinks marriage is between a man and a woman. Obama himself! Hmmm.
Now, the Obama-nation of the day:
This is old news by now, but it's worth mentioning. Timothy Geithner, Obama's choice for Treasury Secretary, did not pay Social Security or Medicare taxes for four years, despite being instructed to do so by his employer. Geithner signed a form saying he would pay the tax. He also accepted reimbursement for SS and Medicare taxes he hadn't paid. He finally paid part of it after an audit in 2006 and the rest when he was nominated to become treasury secretary. Obama's team knew that when they picked him. So a guy who can't pay his taxes will be in charge of our financial system and the IRS?
