Obama Inauguration Hype Continues To Be Just Hype

According to the liberal media Obama’s inauguration will supposedly be the greatest moment in American history.  HBO is carrying it for free on its cable channels.  MSNBC is carrying it in movie theaters.  We’re told time and again what a great and historic moment it is, and how the whole world is waiting on the edge of its seat.

And yet, in Washington DC area there remain 15,000 hotel rooms available.

Pssst. Eight hundred rooms in Washington, D.C. proper and a total of 15,000 rooms “in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and the District” remain unbooked for the Obama apotheosis inaugural. Pass it on.

“Actually, Hotel Space Remains Available,” the Washington Post’s Paul Schwartzman quietly reported on page B2 of the January 15 edition’s “Inauguration Watch.” Staffer Paul Schwartzman cited Washington’s “official tourism office, Destination DC” as the source of the stat.

I don’t think it’s so much that Obama’s inauguration is really special to more people than any other president’s inauguration.  It’s just that the liberals in the media want it to be that way, so that’s what they’re reporting.
