Presidential Inauguration Hardware and Other Challenges
holy_calamity writes "The FBI has released images of some of the kit that will be deployed to safeguard Obama's inauguration, including mine-proof armored trucks like those used in Iraq to protect against IEDs, and a large armored chamber that any bombs will be shoved inside to be transported away and perhaps detonated inside. Interesting, even though the really good stuff is presumably being kept under wraps." Relatedly, necro81 writes "The Inauguration of Barack Obama tomorrow is expected to put considerable stress on the cellphone network around Washington, DC. The expected crowd could top two million people, and many of them are expected to call, text, tweet, photo, and blog their way through the event. In response, the major wireless carriers in the area have spent millions of dollars upgrading their local networks and will bring in extra 'cells on wheels' (COWs) and 'cells on light trucks' (COLTs). They are also requesting that attendees limit their usage during the event, and avoid bandwidth-heavy activities — like uploading photos — until afterward."
Do you think the media would allow anything less from the one they've appointed to be the next messiah?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Or in this case, meet the new puppet, same as the old puppet.
You and the rest of the 28 percenters are the true traitors. Voting for and enabling a man who has wiped his ass with the Constitution and turned the U.S. into a police state, not to mention dragging us into an illegal war that has cost us trillions of dollars while making Haliburton et al rich. Fuck you.
I will enjoy listening to the 28 percenters' tears and frustrations over the next 8 years, you ignorant fucking toddlers. Hopefully the Democrats will use that warrantless wiretapping to out a few more closeted gay Republicans and to sabotage a few political campaigns, and further cement their majority in Congress. Oh, I guess you're against warrantless wiretapping now, aren't you? ;)
Now run away, child, don't want the boogie man to make you soil your pants again, coward.
Coronation is spot on. You'd think he was Jesus or something the way people act.
Obama has been working hard on his official karaoke coronation song:
