Despite Restrictions, City Still will be Packed (Gazillions?)
The Examiner ^ | 1/9/09 | Leah Fabel

Near-impossible car access to the District on Inauguration Day could limit crowd size and leave many stranded on the region’s roadways, but within the city packed conditions likely will remain.

“I don’t know where you’ll put a million people,” said McPhail, who has analyzed dozens of D.C. crowds.

Ahhhh, but The One will make room for everyone! And when they get hungry he will feed the multitudes with Big Macs and Super-size fries from a never-emptying bag. They can wash the burgers and fries down with water from the Potomac he turns into a refreshing diet beverage.

That whole “walking on water” trick of 0bama’s is just a matter of perception -

a turd floating on the top of a cesspool could be, and obviously has been, deemed to be “walking on water”.

I wonder if he’ll say

“...so help me, Me”

After reading Liberal Fascism, I’d recommend Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom”.

It has nothing to do with present day politics, it is about the concept of “central planning” in GB and how it compared to fascist Italy and Germany... yet it describes today’s climate in the UsSA perfectly.

From what I heard, though, bring an empty jar to pee in. They estimate 1 facility per 6000 attendees.

Bunch of libs defecating and urinating on each other. Sounds like a party.

...but a black man taking the oath of office is certainly a historical event.

But, but, he is only half black. Does thta mean it's only half historic? Or that we are only half way to a post-racial era?

I totally agree with you.

Now conservatives have to live in “hope” that the “changes” of the next four years will be reversible.

I feel that our only hope is to pray for the conversion of America the way we prayed for the conversion of Russia when I was a child.

In a related story. Rentals of private homes in DC are not working out. And only a few buses have applied for parking permits. All MSM hype.

God gave America a clear choice between good and evil, if you _chose_ to look at it.

America chose evil. Time for some old testament destruction and humiliation so that we will once again see His face.

I know he’s half black and you know he’s half black, but the custom of this country is to consider half black=black. I have never understood this, and yes it is a historic event. I don’t like Obama, but where else in the world would this be possible but in America? It says something about our country. We are always painted as a racist country by basically racist countries...in your face...Europe etc.

I have no doubt what you’re saying is true. However, they were working for their messiah and blinded by their faith in a phony promise. Now that he has risen to their greatest expectations, let’s see if his messianic powers are equal to what he promised.

I saw the determination and organization. In fact I never saw anything like it. Here in Indiana during the primary, 0 funded a FREE concert for his benefit that people went wild for. This is a traditionally red state but folks bought into the mega bucks from foreign donations he spent to appeal to their Oprah Winfrey sense that you are are the center of the universe and you deserve whatever it is your heart desires no matter what your contribution to society. No matter what it’s called, socialism, marxism, communism or 0bamaism in my opinion it sucks but it got him elected!

I think that this country has survived and thrived for too long under a thinking that is totally opposite from what the phony is preaching. Maybe I’m wrong but I think his philosophy will be rejected for the sham that I know it is. If I’m wrong then I know God is in control and everything will go according to His plan.

Today is Jan. 9. Lets pray SCOTUS will uphold the ideals our nation was founded on and reject those who wish to destroy us.

We had Bruce Springsteen in Ohio...if I had known in advance I might have gone. My wife loves, loves Bruce Springsteen-good thing she didn’t find out in time. I think things are so bad that it must improve. Thus, Obama will get the credit. His followers worship him, and it will take much to bring him down.

Yep, Things are bad and I hate Springsteen the commy bastard. You’re right 0 will get credit even when we’re forced to eat a crap sandwhich. My question is - how does a dude from Ohio get a handle like bronxboy? Maybe daytonboy or zanesvilleboy or columbusboy or cincyboy would be more appropriate.
