OK
One of way taking responsibility and accountability is to spend money to the most expensive inaugral. Good job guys. "YOU" have to take country forward while " I " president Barrack Hussein Obama enjoy being your President and sign the papers for you. No mr PEBO, "YOU" are paid to the job and expect you do the job. No more excuses or be ready for the backlash. That Mr PEBO is reality. Welcome to the White House.
Well, there are tons of busses that will get you there and back from NYC for $40, most leaving out of Chinatown.
How exciting, I wish I could be there. And for all of you who are going to travel to washington I wish I could do that. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Wow I can't believe this is happening. And it is also amazing that more than 35,000 tickets have been sold. Congratulations to Obama. he has made history. i think that this trip is more than just a trip to witness Obama become president. i think that it's support that you will show Obama.As americans I think we all look up to Obama for a change. He has gained our trust. Obama is my only hope for a better economy, better education, but most of all a better life. I am so jealous of you all who will be there. Hope you enjoy it and show Obama all the love he deserves.
wow...great for Amtrak!! this is good for their business...maybe folks will travel by train more often and that mode of transportation could be expanded....I love to ride trains!
did amtrak really add trains like they said they would?? acellas seem to still be one per hour. Thanks
Now that the trains are all booked how would the bushes and chaneys get out of town because i dont want to see them in washington by noon.......
Good. Now you guys (the transportation industry) should not ask for a "bail out."
Wow! Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is smiling down on this Happy Birthday! Exciting time to be alive. I feel sad for anyone who is not able to enjoy these moments.
P.S. CNN, I think that word in your 3rd paragraph should be "sold."
Be careful out there. may be a bigger crush than you are aware. Stay warm.
I'll drink to that. Cheers. Bottoms Up.
