<\/a><\/p>\nSee that?<\/p>\n
In the past, presidential inauguration events<\/span> have too often focused on wealthy donors and Washington lobbyists.<\/span><\/p>\n
This year, every American will have a chance to be part of the inauguration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’m not a wealthy donor or a lobbyist, but I’ve been to the last two inaugurations. Granted I didn’t have the best view and I froze my behind off but so did everyone no matter what their station in life is. It’s just populist bullshit.They even let the stupid protesting hippies and their stupid placards into the inauguration.<\/p>\n
The Secret Service and DC cops estimate that 4 million people will be here next month for inauguration. People are offering their spare rooms to out-of-towners at 2-5000 bucks for the weekend. In a city that loves gouging tourists, we’re gearing up to really gouge tourists. Yeah, all of that Hope and Change BS will end at the city limits. As soon as a resident catches the smell of tourist on you, you’ll be picked clean in no time.<\/p>\n
You can be wearing all of the Obama hats, the Obama jackets, the Obama earmuffs that you want, you’re still going to be walking miles from the nearest Metro station they leave open and stand in the throngs waiting to get through the metal detectors, dogs and bag-searches on street corners so you can stand behind a mile-long line of cops in the freezing-ass cold just like the rest of us. Oh, and then Obama will whip by us all at about 30 miles an hour on Pennsylvania Avenue – and you’ll be wondering “I went through all of that for this?” – just like the rest of us. And he’ll be followed by a line of limousines carrying the Washington lobbyists and wealthy donors on their way to the White House.<\/p>\n
If you think one of those limos is going to stop and take you to the White House, you’re gonna be real disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
