The Lord must be sorely tempted by such a gathering.
Make sure your TV is on. After all, ALL HAIL OUR KING, OUR GOD KING, KING OBAMA!
No matter how many commies go to this “event” they’ll leave DC an absolute wreck.
By not turning my TV on today at all, I will probably save a LOT on my electric bill. I figure, at Least $.08.
Every little bit helps.
There, fixed it.
A “sweeping” win but numbers today are expected to be “significantly down” from 4 years ago.
Yet we still high unemployment, lethargic recovery (if at all), divisive animosity on the part of his oppressionist government, a festering anger at America’s new Idi Amin Da Da Emporer-for-Life, and a media that continues to blame all these things Obama promised to fix but could not - would not- on our lame assed Republicans in Congress.
What’s it gonna be 4 years from now? Will we have a “Crowning for Life” Coronation for him? Will we have a Biden Presidency Inauguration where he’s driven to the mall in a short yellow school bus replete with padding and personal protection (self) helmet?
What’s it gonna be? Right now, nothing would surprise me.
He was not born in Africa (maybe) and momma was a white atheist who mooched her way through life. "White trash" might be the appropriate label for momma.
I think MLK would be disgusted.
We wanted to attend but we would have missed our time slot on the gun range.
The Lord must be sorely tempted by such a gathering.
If I heard correctly (Short visit to FOX this morning, then turned off the TV), they had to slash the price of tickets in half.
My guess is they had to pass them out for free in the end to get this many, but that's just my gut instict.
It's cold in DC. Democrats don't like discomfort (like having to get up in the morning and difficult stuff like that), so only the hard core paracites would come out in this kind of weather.
This is an absolutely horrific day for me, my family, my country and my fellow Freepers. I honestly appreciate this web site more every day. It’s one of the few things in life that’s sane and keeps my spirits up.
Sorry, I won’t be able to watch. I have to wash my hair — all day, and all evening.
Our home is an inauguration-free zone today. We don’t want any part of this.
The properly edited, more truthful version:
Four years after making history by becoming the first African-American (he’s really more of a Kenyan/Indonesian/Hawaiian but that doesn’t fit our narrative) president, Barack Obama will drag a beleaguered nation into four dismal more years with a scaled-back inauguration that reflects the fact that this ‘wildly popular’ president can’t draw flies and is in fact strongly opposed by nearly half the country.
High unemployment exacerbated by a mindless statist agenda and intentional crippling of any recovery factors, bitter political battles instigated by him, his party brethren and his advisers like Valerie Jarrett, a shadowy Iranian-born Rasputin figure and a divisive reelection campaign marked by shameless say-anything hacks like David Axelrod, Stephanie Cutter and Deborah Wasserman-Schultz have punctured the false media narratives of optimism and hope that infused Obama’s 2009 inauguration after an election in which 44% (22 of 50) states voted for someone else.
This time, Obama’s inauguration will be marked by smaller crowds due to his dwindling personal and political popularity and a reduced slate of inaugural balls and parties because, well, the entire First Family have been traipsing around the globe on the taxpayer’s nickel for four solid years so a party in dreary DC is a busman’s holiday for them. That won’t stop his supporters from attending, many of whom won’t miss work with or without the King holiday since they don’t have proper jobs.
When Obama raises his right hand to be sworn in by Supreme Coward John Roberts outside the US Capitol at 10:55 AM Chicago time, it will be his second time taking the oath in 24 hours, topped only by the oaths spoken by Michelle Obama as she berates the staff for using the wrong napkin rings and for the lint on the carpets.
He had a private swearing-in on Sunday at the White House because of a constitutional requirement that….oh who are we kidding? This man hasn’t adhered to the Constitution since he set foot in the place.
Obama begins the day with another shameless, blasphemous photo op at St. John’s Episcopal Church (the same Episcopal Church that endorsed gay marriage and has seen its churches and members flee) across from the White House. He will then take the oath again strictly for showbiz purposes and subject the poor souls gathered to another two-hour stream of banality from the Capitol’s west front overlooking the National Mall, where his bought-and-pair-for sycophants will cheer his every cliché.
That is down significantly from the record 1.8 million people who jammed Washington in 2009 for Obama’s first inauguration. Maybe it has something to do with gasoline still in excess of $3.25/gallon, lingering unemployment, economic pessimism, capitulation to and downplaying of an ongoing Islamic threat, and widespread exhaustion from listening to this overgrown student council geek bang on about how wonderful he is and how lucky we are to have him.
As Inauguration Day dawned and people streamed through the wintry cold (as opposed to summery cold) toward the Capitol ground, Washington was in security lockdown (as opposed to most normal days when doors and windows are left unlocked on government buildings), with thousands of police and National Guard troops deployed lest they be assigned to hurricane cleanup, barricades up and Humvee military vehicles blocking major intersections – the same way Obama’s motorcade callously blocks rush-hour traffic in major cities every time he visits.
Outside the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, an elaborate presidential viewing stand (the Obamas don’t do less-than-elaborate), encased in bullet-proof (but, sadly, not sound-proof) glass, awaited Obama and other VIBs (Very Important Bundlers).
......something doesn't compute here..........
There must be 5,000 public-service unionized cops along the parade route. What’s with that? Did police unions from around the country spend tax payer money to send LEOs to this event?
