A Shockingly UN-GREEN Inauguration
When you think about it, this inauguration is shockingly un-green. Millions of people have transported themselves to D.C., which has required the waste of tens of millions of gallons of gasoline.
What would a GREEN inauguration be? Simple. Obama and the other dignitaries rent a simple auditorium and BROADCAST the whole thing to 3,000,000,000 people. That requires near ZERO gasoline.
How is it worth $150,000,000 and 100,000,000 gallons of gasoline just to get 2,000,000 people to Washington DC, when you can reach 3,000,000,000 people on TV FOR FREE?
Obama can reach 3,000,000,000 people on TV and it costs ZERO gasoline and ZERO taxpayer dollars. That is GREEN.
Additionally, there is a cost savings of perhaps as much as $150,000,000. That is the cost for security, facilities, garbage collection and God knows what else, for this gaudy imitation of Woodstock.
Idiotically, we are supposed to believe that this is a time reflecting that of Abe Lincoln. Gimme a break. This is just an Obama "Illinois" theme. The last time Illinois had a president, and the last time the Cubbies won the World Series, was 1861.
But where is the comparision to Lincoln? An inauguration made sense in the days of Lincoln: There was no TV, no radio, no Internet. Today, with electronic communications, there is no need for some big, stupid, smelly, frost-bitten, collection of losers to be jumping up & down and screaming about how "historic" they are.
What's so historic about Obama? So he's the first half-white, half-black President. Big whoopie. He hasn't done squat yet. It's a bit premature to label Him as the Savior of mankind.
In fact, I am really finding all of this MONSTROUS HYPE to be rather tedious. There are BIG PROBLEMS that Obama should be working on. Instead, precious time is being wasted on this stupid circus of an inauguration.
Like, we get it: Obama is very popular with the great unwashed. Like the Pied Piper, he can command millions of lost souls to come to him at his bidding, even if they have nowhere to stay in freezing D.C., and have to use outdoor port-a-potties.
What idiots. Why not stay home and watch it on TV? I guess I don't understand because I am not an ObaManiac.
But what is the real political significance of all of these crowds of filthy, freezing, ObaManiacs? Will they really have any power? Do we really WANT these sorts of people to have any power?
Personnally, I don't really LIKE people who are willing to stand out in the cold for hours just to be a part of a big CROWD that is cheering for Obama. To me, that is faintly HITLERIAN. Recall the mass rallies of adoring Germans listening to every word of their savior Adolph Hitler.
Hopefully, Obama is not a Hitler, but I personally am leery of crowd-people.
