January 20th: Inaugaration Day

[Leprucky Cougar]

Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone on HDC is traveling to Washington, DC to the inaugaration ceremony. It's been a tradition of mine to always watch it--regardless of who the president was--well in my lifetime, it's been just Clinton and Bush (I wasn't born in the 80s to catch the other Bush's inaugaration but I did witness Clinton and the 2nd Bush's ones) I hear DC's expecting 5,000,000,000 people--but that number may increase as the days leading up get closer. For anyone who is heading there expect traffic to be crazy as is usually is but I would reccommend leaving maybe 1 to 2 days before--because of the largely anticipated crowd. I thought tickets ran out to attend, but apparently people are still suggesting more may be issued--I'm not exactly sure about that. I thought people were suppose to request tickets from their own state's representatives for the ceremony, though.

Any way, I know not everyone on HDC is amped about politics as I am, or maybe even at all, but for anyone that is, I want to hear your thoughts? Anyone, a tad bit excited? :confused: :)

i was more excited that he won ...

not at all excited over the ceremony a month or so later

He won. He's the president. I don't see the big deal about a formality.

Five billion?!

Is China coming?

5,000,000,000 )

You are aware that there's only 6.5 billion people in the world?

Yep.

Honestly, the crowd will most likely be bored self-important college students with nothing better to do and looking for a cause to support and excuse to drink intellectually. I'm over all that.

I didn't vote for hime, I didn't want him in office, so NO, my presence should not be expected! It has nothing to do with race either before anybody reposts or quotes me saying I'm a biggot! I could get into it on here because I am HUGE into politics, but I'm not because I've learned a while ago that NO, MY VOTE AND MY OPINION DOESN"T COUNT IN THE USA!!

"Mr. Obama. We're all ready, but one thing. Babygurl20 isn't here."
"What the fuck!? Inauguration off!"

[Babygurl20]

This is why I hardly ever post my opinion anymore, because there is always someone out there who has to be a prick about it. Oh well, you'll grow up soon sweety and see what a mess this country is in. Thanks to Clinton, Bush, and now it's gonna be Obama.:rolleyes:

My making fun of the member who can't spell "girl" correctly proves my ignorance of the country's well-being?

[Babygurl20]

Look at the members and you will see a Babygirl20 and a Babygurl20, they are both me hun. Somehow I was blocked from babygirl20. Anymore gripes? If you look in that first post I also accidentally mispelled 'him' also..........:eek: So, sue me. Don't try to come argueing with me about politics with your 17 year old self, b/c FYI, you'll lose.:p

I don't see the point in that since i never tried arguing (no "e") politics with you. So good for you!

Not a fan, fuckin' groupies for a president... damn kids and their You Tube and their Music Television that doesn't play music and their Jonas Brothers...

My bad...minus three on the zeros there ....every now and then I miscalculate how many zeros differeniate between million, billion, and trillion. Oops. :confused: :o

I see. Understandable and I respect that.

And I think the ceremony's 2 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days after the win--at least for this year it seems. :p :D

Not all are mere, groupies, Despare. And yeah I do get your point though on how annoying and irritating it seems on some of the pop-culture my generation figuratively worships. :rolleyes:

But there's hope out there....I'm not into the Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, or any other music/movie "trends," that lack any substantive, concise, or meaningful purpose as did years before. :) And I'm sure there are a few here on HDC that also defy that aspect of the current generation----in a positive way of course. :) Uh, massacreman? ferretchucker? Any of you guys understand where I'm getting at--or attempting to get at? :confused:
