“It’s not a Beatles reunion tour, it’s a presidential inauguration! Get a life, folks!”

The Beatles are definitely more important than the president of the U.S…..

Here is the man that promised change. I guess it will change after the balls. How many mortgages could be saved, food bought etc. with this money.All the crooks from wallstreet and the auto industry will be attending not us the working class.
Jan. 20 politics as usual.

Hi,

I am a producer for the public radio show, Marketplace. We’re working on a story about contributions for the inauguration. Barack Obama has stated that he would accept individual and grassroots contributions.

I’m trying to track someone down who supported Obama in the general election, but is upset that they’re being asked to fund the inauguration.

Please e-mail me at SPowers@marketplace.org.

Best,
Sean Powers

They will bleed us dry in more ways than just this… I’m leaving on a road trip so I can be as far away as possible. I’ve had calls wanting to rent my place, but no way in hell that is going to happen, not even for $10,000 for the week… scruem…

A few months ago, a Memo came around looking for “volunteers” to work the inauguration. I signed up. If picked, my housing and expenses (along with salary/overtime) will be covered. I think I was the only one to volunteer from my District. Well, since I was asked “are you sure”? I’m certain I was the only one.

I have a strong feeling, if picked, I’ll regret it. But I look at it as an experience. I have friends (hard to believe, right?) that are DC cops. I’m sure (we) will be treated well while down there.

Wyatt,
I can sum it up in real simple terms. They are DemocRats and we owe them. Or so they think.
