Free Go Obama! script
In direct contrast to one I am tempted to write on …no prizes for guessing who! Entitled Go Trump – please!
Extraordinary to consider the contrast between the coming inauguration of Biden and that of Obama. I remember it well as I was living in the States at the time – having canvassed for Obama the previous year.
Following is taken from Go Obama script I wrote to celebrate his inauguration – and which I am offering free as a reminder of better times:
On January 20th 2009 Barack Obama was sworn in – as the *44th President of the United States!
Contrast that with run up to 2021 inauguration – one defiant ex (or about to be ex) president refusing to bow down in the face of defeat. What a legacy he has left. Below is news coverage of Wed 6th shameful storming of U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters – at his instigation:
‘Seething with anger, mostly unmasked, Donald Trump’s supporters stormed and breached the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, stoked by his defiant speech claiming the election had been stolen from him.’
Let’s hope for better, saner times ahead.
