Obama's Inauguration

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Oh yeah, Squeek, it's completely out of the realm of possibility. Let's just pretend it can't happen so if it does the entire country can be dumb struck.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

I actually agree with rzr =.=
It's happened before, it can happen again. There's more reasonings behind why someone would want to assassinate Obama than there was with the other presidents that were killed.
Not to say the reasons are right, but people do have their dislikes.
There's some crazy ones out there ya no.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Let me explain.

First of all, it's meaningless to talk about. Sure, it could happen, because anything could happen anywhere for any reason.

Let me begin by saying that there has never been a presidential assassination at their inauguration. Just a fun factoid.

Oh, and for more fun factoids:

The security for the inaugural celebrations is a complex matter, involving not only the Secret Service, but other Federal law enforcement agencies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Office of Federal Protective Service (ICE-FPS), all five branches of the Armed Forces, the Capitol Police, and the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPDC). Federal law enforcement agencies also sometimes request assistance from various other state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.

I'm not saying it can't happen and I'm not suggesting that it's outside the realm of possibility. I'm saying we shouldn't talk about it because it's a horrible thing to discuss. It's like discussing NFL quarterbacks and wondering which one is going to have a season-ending injury next. You COULD talk about it, but why not discuss more important things instead? You could talk about his Cabinet or the regime change or the final days of Bush or dozens of other things. I don't know why the topic of assassination ALWAYS comes up.

You people are just so negative.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

They're not just in the South. For serious.

Regardless, I highly doubt anything will happen and agree with Squeek's line of reasoning on why it's not even worth discussing.

So I guess none of you guys other than Rubix are going?

Yeah, don't assume all southern people want to "fuuck up black people."
Many people all over the U.S. and world feel just the same as other people. Before you judge based on geographic location, and history, think of others.


On a thread-related note. I will not be going, I agree though, I strongly supported McCain. Still, republicans have not brought us the best economy, it may be time for a change.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

how is it that people were able to get such close camera shots of him

see that button that probably has a plus on it, usually within reaching distant of your thumb on the camera?

Also a guy threw his shoes at bush :O I mean if that guy had been able to like shove a gun in his shoe he might of been able to nail Bush.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

I laughed pretty hard at the shoe at Bush. xD

In any case, an assassination is probably not going to happen. You might as well give a president a chance to do something before trying to kill him, right?

[Edit] not going btw

Re: Obama's Inauguration

My girlfriend won us tickets so we will be there. We are staying at a hotel in Virginia and taking the train over very early the 20th. We plan on bar hopping and celebrating with the masses all night long.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

It is going to be so INSANE near where I live. I hear some people even got hotels in Delaware just to go. I am most definitely not going anywhere near the highway that day.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Why would anybody want a hotel in my state just to go to the inauguration. It's two hours away.
