Why is that considered racial? Because the word “black” was used? I thought we were supposed to use that term, ‘black’ instead of the others. It isn’t a joke! It is the absolute truth.

Someone is absolutely unaware of how inauguration day was handled.

Still, it wasn't quite 2 million ~ that would be the only criticism.

NOTE ~ someone who thinks the question is a joke rather than an incredibly accurate observation probably ought to be removed from any office of authority.

The people themselves provided part of the answer ~ for one thing there were no arrests on the Mall that way ~ not that arrests might not have been needed, but the people attending appear to have taken care of troublemakers early and often.

Second, there was some degree of organization to the effort. We had both an ingress and an egress that day ~ roughly akin to moving large numbers into New Orleans in the face of the storm, and then moving large numbers out of there as the storm moved in.

So, the crowd cooperated, authorities did the right thing, the permenant party community (people like me), were prepared to deal with it, and it turned out OK.

BTW, my neighborhood provided parking for something like 50,000 out of town automobiles, and that was not a acasual endeavor. Those folks all rode to DC on the Metrorail system.

Let me correct it because she wrong

Subject: FW: Amazing!

I'm confused

How can 2,000,000 Democrat's get into Washington, DC in 1 day in sub zero temps when 200,000 couldn't get out of New Orleans in 85 degree temps with four days notice?

Stop apologizing for making factual observations.

Stop pretending that everyone responds to life’s challanges like adults.

Stop pretending that we aren’t saddled with millions of lazy but able bodied people riding the backs of taxpayers snd sucking the marrow from our bones.

The woman is wrong, Kartrina did not give anyone four day’s notice.

Interesting, The National Weather Service issued its first notice of the Tropical Depression that would later become Katrina at 5:00 p.m. on August 23, 2005.

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2005/dis/al122005.discus.001.shtml

Katrina hit New Orleans on September 29, 2005.

Katrina entered the Gulf of Mexico and became a hurricane on Friday, August 26, 2005. Again, Katrina hit the Gulf Coast on the morning of August 29th.

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2005/dis/al122005.discus.014.shtml?

So, I really do not understand how you or anyone else could have watching the weather system that became Katrina nearly three weeks prior to its hitting New Orleans.

The weathermen do a lot of things ~ one of the first things they do is identify "waves" that may or may not turn into something interesting.

I watched what became known as a hurricane since it was a "wave".
