I think this
inaugural fact is funny -- of the approximate 1 million who went
to the inauguration (compared to 1.8 million in 2009), 778,000
rode DC city buses. In other words, 90% of those in attendance
were locals living in Washington D.C. Almost no one traveled to see this
year's event. Understand that while Obama's second inauguration was larger than any other 2nd inauguration, almost all of those in
attendance, lived in the neighborhood -- in fact, I would say
that this event was the largest neighborhood gathering in American
history. Hat's off to all those government workers who should up for
their hero.
Worse, yet,
for our first Revenge President, Georg W Bush drew a larger televised
viewership for his 2005 inauguration than did Obama. 38% of
Americans, mostly the American Left, watched the Monday
precedings, compared to 40% who watched Bush's second inauguration in '05
and 60% who watched Obama's first show, in 2009. (Politico).
