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.

    A few days back, it was 12,500 rooms available. The hype is dying.

    we know what happened at the end of that extremely expensive movie.

    Is that where the ditsy dame throws a very expensive jewel into the ocean that could have been used to feed the poor and homeless?
    Hmm. Maybe that is a symbol for the Obama Inaugural Lovefest and Souvenir Stand?

    And compare that to Bush.

    I’m pretty sure Obama will have higher numbers.

    Strictly a guess on your part, with no factual basis. The point is, that we were hyped that this inauguration was supposed to be so crowded that it was sold out. It obviously isn’t, so they lied to us, as usual.
    Without the endless hype and lies, PEBO is just another affirmative action hire, with nothing to offer us.

    So it should be possible for Hannitized and Dino to each get a room.

    Or will they be sharing a room.

  • Dino

    Looks like I have a new fan-stem!

    Poor cons. The mean liberal media never gives you guys good press!

    Could it be because cons destroyed the economy?

    Look at me! I’m dancing on the grave of conservatism and the republican party!

    Poor Obama. He’s not the king of the world. Well maybe he is for the USS Titanic of his administration.

    Ah well, we know what happened at the end of that extremely expensive movie.

    Conservativism will happen again as it always will. With Carter there came Reagan, with Obama something better will pop up. Guess: won’t be Obama. Looks like the American people that voted for him got buyer’s remorse in the midst of his scandals and ineptitude.

    The blathering, bullying and screaming of the left just grows and grows as they get more desperate on their hold for power. They no longer have an “underdog” status of victimology, that was gone when they won the election. Now, they have to be leaders.

    They will fail miserably. They lied to get the election: Obama said to cut taxes and federal waste. Conservativism isn’t dead. Obama had to lie being one to get elected.

    What a pathetic tool.

    Robert says:

    Where in the article does it say the inauguration was not sold out?

  • robert108

    Four years is all he’ll get, so you Dems enjoy!!!

    Four years of Obamunism isn’t guaranteed; there’s always Impeachment.

  • Hannitized

    I wonder how much in lost revenue this will cost HBO and MSNBC.

    Who knows? But people in Hawaii are throwing parties and well be watching it on HBO.

    So, maybe they are doing it for the sheer historical nature of the event and are not concerned about money?

  • jimmypop

    I think what they’re implying that the Messiah isn’t as cracked up to be and that the 15000 hotel rooms that are vacant is showing that it’s just another inauguration.

    its not… but 90% if the media and 100% the libs have been screaming from the mountaintops about 4 M people showing up. they missed by up tp 50%. so if take away all the false pre-inaugural hype (and we all know hype feeds on itself) i wonder just how many people would have been there.

  • andophiroxia

    Nah, it was government interference by fascists who think like you.

    Dance all you want, Hitler.

    BTW, whatever happened to that Hope message? I must have missed the memo where they told us it was a typo and that it was actually Hopelessness.

    At the very beginning Obama reminded me of that abusive significant other of where they would withhold all love and affection from you if you did “one little thing” if only you’d change. The only problem is that once you resolved/fixed/changed that little thing, they would come up with something else or a new set of little “issues” in order to abuse you all the more.

    Considering on how he talks to the American people, I would agree with you on that. I’m glad I don’t really bother to listen to him or his speeches because 1)he’s not the one to tell me to run my life, 2)he doesn’t know real life and lives in a bubble of which he has no idea of practical application, 3)I only look to myself and to my convictions, God, and my pure grit and intelligence to get ahead. I am one of the 300 million people that makes America great. That goes to each and every American that CHOOSES to follow their own life and to follow their dream.

    We just need to realize that again that only we are in control of our own lives and why surrender that to someone else?

  • andophiroxia

    Wow, we can draw so many parallels to that movie it isn’t even funny.

    Looks like I have a new fan-stem!

    Nah, I just use you to show you how wrong your ideas are, and what true Nazis are really like.

    HAHAHA!

    Gee, let me figure this out. So the inauguration is going to be made widely available to attend virtually, and Rob can not figure out why there remain hotel rooms available?

    Gee. You know the internet is trafficked quite frequently as well Robby. But I don’t need to drive down to your server in TX to comment on the stupidity of your posts.

    We live in a virtual world now my friend. Get used to it….and get ready to kiss your workstation (at work) good bye as well.

    He only had 22% of American’s vote for him. 20% voted for the other guy, a few voted for the stragglers and the rest didn’t vote or weren’t old enough to vote…in any case 78% of American’s did not vote for the “ONE,” so he’s not as popular as his narcissistic head tells him he is, and the 22% that did vote for him are not as smart as they think they are. The smart ones will start preparing for the “Great Depression, take 2.”

    If the soon to be Black House in Chocolate DC stinks like BHO’s plane did during his campaign (according to a ABC new’s reporter) global heads of state will be going out the back door as fast as they come in the front door. You would think with all the millions he was raking in, he could have paid someone to clean his plane once in awhile. Michelle said he was stinky in the mornings…that must explain it. :)

    Four years is all he’ll get, so you Dems enjoy!!!

  • andophiroxia

    I’ll wait for the ‘r’ word to come out from Obama’s cronies. ;)

  • jimmypop

    looks like even the liberal media knew they couldnt fake 4M they were wishing for, huh? i still think we’ll see another ‘million man march’ made up statistic here.

    a prediction; they will still compare the totals to bush every hour on the hour. never mind how wrong they all were.

    (here is one of many 4M articles)

    Remember the squealing from the lefties when President Bush’s 2005 inauguration cost $40 million? That was in a good economic time; now, PEBO pisses away $150 million during bad economic times, and not a peep from the bootlickers.
    Double standard.

  • ews48

    It also turns out that this inauguration, in spite of Obama’s ban on corporate and lobbyist contributions, will be funded by special interests.

    Maybe but it still costs them money. That can’t be avoided.

    The question is, how many rooms are there total, and how often they’re filled.

    And compare that to Bush.

    I’m pretty sure Obama will have higher numbers.

    I think what they’re implying that the Messiah isn’t as cracked up to be and that the 15000 hotel rooms that are vacant is showing that it’s just another inauguration.

    However, you do have a valid point. I would like to compare numbers (porportionally) if need be, to see if it’s the same or different.

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    If HBO is carrying it for free for non-subscribers does that mean they will give paying regular subscribers credit for that same time that their service was gunked up with this nonsense?

    A lot of this smells more like feel-good patronizing American liberal bigotry. “Look at us! We voted for a black man!”

    Yup, and set a bar so high that G-d Himself couldn’t pass muster. The ultimate set-up for failure for a man that millions are pinning their childish hopes on. Way to go libs! Way to help African-Americans! Can we hire an inexperienced Chicano afterward on the claim that he will cure cancer and raise the dead, and then a female prez who will promise immortality and transcendence of physical reality?

    At this point, I’m in favor of a president who can read a VCR manual by him or herself and recite their ABCs and promises to try to do his own taxes online at H&R Block.
