An inaugural is no place for babies or the elderly. Better to take them to Times Square for New Year’s Eve.

We went to one inadvertenly, Bush in 2001. Never again. I wouldn’t go if my own son was being sworn in!

Keep in mind that was pre-9/11 and not particularly historic. I would not be surprised if 1/2 of DC Metro’s population goes to Obama’s, so you’d have at least double the crowd. It is wall-to-wall people, It took us well over an hour to get from the Mall at about 3rd street to 6th street.

They will get a much better view, and will be more comfortable, just watching on tv if they’re so inclined.

I was at Nixon's in 1969. It was cold as a well-digger's @$$. You couldn't pay me to go to another one.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

That’s exactly what I think. In addition to all the problems associated with a huge crowd of people and a much smaller number of bathrooms, it’s going to be JANUARY, and not in Ft. Lauderdale, either. Insane for little children or old people to be there.
