I got a frontrow seat, whipped out my subway sandwich and homework and watched the oath and speech. A great orator and hopefully a even better president. Fuck yeah | ||

But I had a good time watching it, all the black people on my campus auditorium were going nuts. HOLLA. I agree. Whoever wrote his speech made a major slip, "non-believers" to group people of non-Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Christian persuasion. Really poor rhetoric to use a negatively-charged term like that in a speech promoting unity in the face of adversity. | ||

I think it was a big deal that we were at least acknowledged and it wasnt in a negative tone. | ||

Atheism and agnosticism are not uncharged terms in the united states. But atheism and agnostics are not all that the term covers. It's basically anyone who is not of those four persuasions, including Buddhists. It's certainly not an enormous blunder, but I think he could have used a better term. | ||
