• National idiot Chris Wallace isn't sure that this Barack Obama is technically even President, what his native Muslim tongue being unable to properly pronounce our American words in their decent, Christian order. [ Crooks and Liars ]

• People pretty much agree that the Benediction was way better than Warren's Invocation because Warren would not shut up about Jesus [Christ] and Lowery was pleasingly vague. [ AMERICAblog ]
