Most people wouldn't walk across the street to see him. I most certainly wouldn't.

This is why the restrictions...from what I can tell this will be the biggest inauguration in history. I don’t like Obama and did not vote for him, but a black man taking the oath of office is certainly a historical event.

The new pres is the terrorists best friend. Can’t imagine anyone of them wishing to cause harm.

NY manages new year’s eve with no problems, including the one immediately following 9/11.

Evidently ruling by imagined threat is how this bum is going to proceed.

You have to wonder if some terrorist group would see this as an opportunity to get a large number of people in one place.This idea will be used for every increase in government control of our daily lives while Obama is in office. For all the screaming that the dems did when the Bush Administration tried to get better intel on terrorists, they will accept every new restriction on American citizens as "necessary".
