Obama's Inauguration

[MrRubix]

Just curious how many of you guys are going?

I'm not sure if cameras will be allowed (likely not). I'm going with a group from school, and we're also going to check out the parade.

[bluguerrilla]

How could they disallow cameras with everyone and their mother having a phone that takes stills and video?

Err, what would be the point?

I won't, however, be going. Neither will my lazy family that all lives in the DC area. The bums.

[MrRubix]

I was referring mainly to actual cameras, as opposed to phone-cameras. Idk, people are all "No flash photos!" and that sort of thing, so I don't know if they're just going to nix cameras to keep with the tight security or whatever.

But eh, I'll bring one if they're allowed, def.

[bluguerrilla]

Oh hey they're allowed. http://inaugural.senate.gov/2009/keytopics.cfm l2google nub

[MrRubix]

I got nub'd

Guns dressed up as cameras. The recoil gives you a black eye.

I wish I could go, but I'm in Florida, and I lack the money or time to even go up there right now.

[dore]

I'd love to but that's a bit far for a day trip. Plus I can watch it on TV

[rzr]

You guys really think he'll get shot?

[Tater Tot]

Unfortunately rzr, there is a possibility of it happening, even though nobody really wants it to happen. And by nobody I'm excluding the crazies and White supremacists.

One thing to think about though: if Obama is supposedly protected by Secret Service, how is it that people were able to get such close camera shots of him (I watch TMZ, sry )? Everything has counter-arguments too.

Only time will tell what happens.

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.

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

Uh, you're the one who asked the stupid question.

[rzr]

Is it a murder or an assassination?

[Squeek]

Seriously people.

Stop talking like he's going to be killed.

Goddamn.

[gnr61]

i don't know i mean it's probably safe to assume there were thousands of terrorists that wanted to kill george bush during his presidency yet he seems pretty not dead to me. and generally (and stereotypically) speaking i'd say a well-connected terrorist probably has better means to assassinate someone than some random supremacist

[lumphoboextreme]

well this hasn't really been an issue before that i know of where this many people wanted the president dead. i'm republican too and i'm not thrilled that he won but at least give the man a chance and see what he can do. people are crazy these days.
