ORIGINAL: MarsBonfire Yeah, all the DC neighborhood bars, bistros and hotels are all pissed as hell about all this extra business they're doing now, during some of the worst economic downturns since the great depression. Ask the folks who sell Obama T-shirts, bumper stickers and buttons and banners... Ask the folks who manufactured those trinkets if they're happy for the work... Let's ask the networks if they're getting more ad revenu from the swearing in, or from the POS Superbowl... This party is raking far more income, and generating work, than the crappy GOP ones ever did. Funeral? Yeah, I remember Bush II's party... THAT was more like a funeral. Swearing in of that provincial Texas hack... and his sith VP... Turns out it was one of the darkest hours for the US since Pearl Harbor. I agree with this post and I want to add this. People are coming to this city, because THEY want to be here. They want to witness history. They want to enjoy themselves, witness history and celebrate. I don't understand the negativity many express on this thread. People always go to events that they want to attend. If millions of people want to come to see and celebrate the 44th Presidental inauguration, let them come! Don't be party poopers! [sm=mrpuffy.gif]
