Pimpin’ The Inauguration
I may be really off the mark here, but isn’t the presidential inauguration supposed to be a free event?
You could be there on Inauguration Day as Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President.
Ten supporters will be selected between now and midnight on January 8th to join the inaugural activities. You and a guest could be flown to Washington, D.C., put up in a hotel, and be part of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Unlike past inaugurations, this one won’t be funded by lobbyists or corporations. Barack is counting on grassroots supporters like you to make this the most open and accessible Inauguration in history.
Make a donation right now to make the inauguration a success.
Guess not.
BTW— “Presidential Inaugural Committee 2009 reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or cancel this contest.”
AFTER they get the money.

from experience, no Bob. There are the paid seats nearer the parade route and on the capitol building steps. The free sections are around the parade route but not as good a view. This is from my wife who has gone every time since we have been here, but will not go this year.
An aside, my daughters thought that Laura Bushed waved directly st them, especially since they said she cracked a smile when they started yelling “she waved at me she waved at me.”

“You and a guest could be flown to Washington, D.C., put up in a hotel, and be part of this once-in-a-lifetime event.”
Hmm, no so once-in-a-lifetime… heaven forbid this ever happens, but he CAN be sworn in twice….
