Re: Obama's Inauguration

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

See that knob on the end of a rifle that allows you to magnify the current area you look at?

There's this fantastic thing called zoom, genius.

Answer like an idiot and I'll answer back like an ignorant person too.

There are not stupid questions, only stupid people.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

...ugh.

Maybe I should have said it like this: If there was someone who was able to get close enough to get a snapshot of him, what's to stop someone from getting that clear of a view during his inauguration? Sure, some people may get want to get that close to Obama for good intentions, but not everyone's intentions are good.

I mean, sure, they are going to have him protected with security, secret service, etc., but I'm just pointing out that if it was possible to get that close to him once, it can be done again.

Jeez. Not one, but two mods call me an idiot. That's not right. =/

Re: Obama's Inauguration

They're called security clearances.

The media is screened in advance and much more in-depth than the other guests to the event. You do know that all events have a media section, right? I mean, do you think the media has to fight for seats like everyone else? Hell no.

For the record, I call everyone an idiot. Squeek is an idiot too. As am I.

But, Obama isn't going to be assassinated, it's science.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

In all honesty, it really bothers me how assassination seems to be the only damn topic anyone talks about anymore when it comes to Obama being out in public.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Yes it may bother you but to be fair - it is a valid topic to talk about.

In answer to your OP i believe only PlaceboFX is going with his girlfriend. Also someone else in the previous thread PlaceboFX made someone said they MAY be going from what i can remember.

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:



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.

That's fine. I thought you were just saying it's impossible, and I don't want people to be thinking we're completely safe, then have the country crushed. It's good that you want to think positively, and I like that. It's just that look at today's day and age, there's hardly anything positive to look towards anymore. You can't turn on the news and not hear about some fire or robbery or murder. You can't go somewhere without hearing about the war or the economy. I'm sorry, I'm a pessimist, just as long as we see where each other is comeing from. Or are coming from. I'm not sure.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

I'll be going Rubix, I'll be the military man in the nice Naval Officer outfit, I'll be standing east of the president midpoint of the line. I got a clear view of everything too bad I can't bring my camera.

p.s. there will be A LOT of military presence, both in and out of uniform, so don't do anything stupid.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Am I going to kill a famous Mexican just because I recently wrote a 12 page paper on my views of illegal immigration and titled it "Jumping Beans"?
For the people who don't quite get the humor in that, I am referring to "jumping" over the wall along the border and beans comes from the often derogatory term towards Mexicans, beaner.

Just because some people don't like blacks or have done something that might suggest they don't like them, doesn't mean they are going to kill a famous one.

What really?

Ok let's discuss.

Ok he might be and he might not be.

Ok what's left to discuss?

Talk about something else. Is that so hard?
