Nice post, Silat.

Not quite sure why everyone jumps immediately on the IN bus?

The post seemed more of an objective observation, than a political discussion.

We are not supposed to have political discussions.  I see no rule about posting observations from attending a political event.

I have been in DC since last Thursday, late evening.  I have toured the Washington Monument and Capitol on Friday the 16th, visited the National History Museum (especially the new Lincoln exhibit) and the West National Art Gallery (old art; new art in the East National Art Gallery) on Saturday the 17th, attended the Inauguration Concert ("We Are One") on Sunday the 18th, visited the Gettysburg & and Antietam battlefields on Monday the19st, and attended the Inauguration of Barack Obama on Tuesday the 20nd. This is what I saw:

  Just fixing the dates for yah. Being an hour outside of DC I know it was cold out. I heard there were long secruity lines and alot of people didnt get to where they wanted to be in time. Still thats alot of people.

I liked seeing the band playing looking prim and proper and when it cut to the crowd most were busting out some silly celebration dance moves.  No arrests and 1 death due to a heart attack.  With almost 2 million people in such a small area you'd think there would have been more of both.

I guess it is too tempting to bring up politics.  I didn't think this thread could last.
