Killjoys Nix Sub-Zero Inaguration Camping on Washington Mall
Via The Washington Post:
Federal officials said yesterday that no one will be allowed to camp overnight on the Mall before the presidential inauguration and that spectators will be barred from staking out spots on the parade route until 7 a.m.
Siting "security concerns" and a whole lot of other bureaucratic nonsense, legions of Obama fans will now be prevented from pitching their Patagonia pup tents and unrolling their sleeping bags in the spirit of sub-zero patriotism. It is anticipated that 3-5 million revelers will pour into a frigid DC for the festivities. A great many of that number will need a place to sleep on the 19th, and there's no word on the occupancy limit on Fred Thompson's 1 BR apartment which will set you back $30,000 for 5 nights.
Seriously, without the camping option, where are these people going to go? Area hotels have long ago been sold out. Mercifully, DC's city council has extended last call at bars until 5 a.m. But that means two hours of aimless, pre-dawn wandering by Obama's zombie herd.
The nation's capitol should be quite a sight at around 6 a.m.

Anyone who's ever camped in the winter knows what idiocy it is. Especially when you can watch this on TV.

There is always Denny's!!
Seriously, who wants to camp out in sub-freezing weather, and then attend the Inauguration??? Nasty. The Inauguration is at noon. Though not down the street, perhaps a hotel/motel can be found in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, Annapolis, Fredericksburg, even as far south as Richmond, which is a little over two hours away. Stop whining, people.

BTW: Once you get within range of DC, you can always park at a Metro or Amtrak station, and take a ride into DC ... much easier.

If Harry Reid thought the groups of White House tourists smelled, he better use some nose plugs for this one. And what a good idea to extend the bar hours. Nothing like a bunch of drunks with noplace to go!

Obama has three law firms and has spent over $800,000.00 in legal fees to keep
Us from seeing any of his records including his long form (real) birth certificate
There are over 20 lawsuits and five at the Supreme Court to try to resolve this.
Many request and letters have been written yet Obama refuses to comply.
Please ask yourself why.
Main Stream Media has out-right, bold-faced lied to you.
Obama is not qualified to become President of the United States of America.
He is not a “Natural Born Citizen” as required by our Constitution.
If he was, it would take 5 minutes to resolve not 3 law firms and a near fortune
Please educate yourself before it is too late! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
If Obama takes office the result will be a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

You know, as I started typing a reply, I thought, why bother. I can wait 8 yrs. to compare Bush and Obama. Then I will say what I think. Wouldn't it be nice for a CHANGE if we all drew our conclusions after the fact instead of commenting on the unknown.
