I,for one,would have been there with bells on were it not for the fact that the nation's Marxists were promising chaos.

And I can't be the only one....not by a long shot.

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!

I agree. Given how many people went so far just to make it to his rallys, I think the two months promising less than peaceful protests at the inauguration kept many away. It kept me from thinking of going.
