Just LOOK at the destruction and mayhem the first green president's inauguration will cause to the planet.



But of course, none of that matters. He's a lib and the liberals who insist the average folks change their habits have no intention of course in changing theirs.

In addition to it being the most costly, it will be the dirtiest as well.
And, this would be different if McCain was being inaugurated how?

You're so unhappy.
Actually, no. I'm expecting a nice payoff with all of obama's giveaways.

A perspective doesn't help propagate the cause of such articles, usually written with a tunnel vision to produce an agenda.

I couldn't help, however, calculating 0.065 ton/person actually isn't too bad. To put THIS in perspective, a typical pickup/SUV puts 10-11 ton/year of CO2.

PS. 575 million pounds = 261K tons (metric).

I say who gives a crap. I'm still struggling with the metric system here so all those figures sounds like Greek to me. I'm jsut sorry I can't be there to add to it all....

Let's get the party started .

With such a high risk of being assassinated at this party you would think he would want to keep things on a lower key.

I think the chance of it being low-key was never an option. Not when you think 2 million people are going to show up for an historic event.

I think the odds of there being some kind of accident, a stampede,a bus running out of control, fighting over viewing positions, drunkeness fueled arguments, etc. are more worrisome. The police will be on high alert and won't take any kind of crap which will also make them a target for rowdy revellers.

Where has Al Gore been lately...under the warm bed sheets? He probable will pop up when the Summer is here and starts his bs again...

It will be funny to see all these fans enjoy his inauguration and save on gas by not being in their homes and standing for hours outside to see their Messiah...better enjoy it until they have walked over to the mailbox and no bailout check will be in there for them, and they start to realize who the real politician is of change and changed words!
