I would have been there but...I work, live over 2,000 miles away, and I haven’t built up my savings by traveling to places to hear a speech live that I can hear better on TV (or Youtube, since I was working that day).
So...was Obama more likely to attract unemployed people from the Maryland-NY coastal area? Yeah.
But is the media incredibly corrupt? Yeah, that too!
You're right to suggest that the unemployed were likely to attend Obola's inauguration ceremonies.I'm retired and live about 400 miles from DC which,if traffic's not bad,would mean 6+ hours of driving.
One of the considerations for me was that I have a bad hip so walking...and even standing...can be tough.That combined with the threats of disruption by The Usual Suspects convinced me not to go.
