IF YOU'RE going to have a catch-up chat with Eddie Vedder, the perfect timing for it would be a few hours after the inauguration of US President Barack Obama.
The Pearl Jam frontman, who was outspoken against the Bush administration, says he had "100 different emotions" as he watched the celebrations in Washington D.C.
"Relief, exhiliration, joy; at least we are going to be able to let go of some of the anger," he says from his Seattle home.
"Obama seems to be a true gift. Ten minutes after he was elected, I felt the goodwill on the planet double.
"It seems part of the enormous job he faces was to create hope in people and around the world.
"The night he was elected, I got calls from around the world. It was incredibly moving."
Vedder says Pearl Jam are back in the studio working on a new album as the grunge godfathers also prepare the first of their remastered reissues, kicking off with their breakthrough 1991 debut record Ten in four different versions on March 21.

Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

Ya that about sums it up. The world is already a better place with that criminal out of office. If you can't see or feel that then your the naive one.
He's already announced the closure of Guantanamo - which is good news to me.

Ha! Laughable! The fact that some liberals are upset with him is music to my ears. It's called bipartisnship...he is taking advice from both sides of the isle and then making a decision based on their discussions. I'm a liberal and I'm proud that a "liberal" President is open to all sides for discussion.
Isn't that what you wanted? The fact alone that the world is celebrating as one is awesome to me. Give the guy a chance...he already is fullfilling some promises in just the first two days.
I amgiving him a chance. I've got no other choice as a U.S. citizen but to do so. it's not that I want him to fuck up just so I can say to all the libs "I told you so." I'm just as affected if he screws up, so yeah I'm rooting for him now. but I'm also not one of those people who already think he's a god just because he's taken office. it's like one of those bullshit up-front bonuses, ya know.
Obama is a fraud! he is a puppet just like Bush and he is even more of a wall street whore than Bush!!(record breaking campaign contributions from wall street )all the bankers who engineered this financial collapse are behind his administration..it's fucking ridiculous how easy it is to pull one over on the dumbed down American public now a days!We went from the most intelligent nation in the world 50yrs ago to the dumbest industrialized nation on the planet today...and it wasn't by chance or accident.
so get ready for Nazi style youth brigades,expansion of government and the police state,food riots,more foreign wars and more soldiers dieing,carbon taxes that will destroy what is left of our industry in this country(that all the "well meaning idiots" will think is a good idea because they all swallow the man made global warming fraud)
but it's OK because It's not Bush and Obama love us :roll:
and save your "take it to the moving train" comments...I know you don't like being exposed to the ugly truth..too bad...the honeymoon is over and you will all see I speak the truth when you decide to pull your heads out of the sand.
PLEASE!!!!!

You mean those secret prisons that he ordered closed yesterday?

we are talking about the CIA...they do what they want..often without the presidents knowledge.
So you fault him for something you admit goes on "without the presidents knowledge"?
http://www.reverbnation.com/brianzilm
I don't fault him for that...but i do fault him for being a pawn..all to willing to do the bidding of his masters..the president has NO POWER!! people think Bush was resposible for all the crap that went on for the past 8 years! the President is a fall guy/scape goat/lightning rod/bird cage liner.
they just get rid of Bush and everyone thinks everything is going to be OK now..even though the people who gave Bush his orders will be giving Obama his as well.
I agree too.
