OBAMA'S SECOND INAUGURAL is, what,sunday or monday, and presumably well planned to be ostentatious. Tickets to it are for sale on the internet, E Bay and what's its name. Presumably the obama administration, hence obama, is in charge, and dispersing tickets exactly as seen fit.
Good friends, longtime supporters, campaign contributors probably get tickets; but evidently there are people receiving tickets who really do not want them, or place mcuh value in them, or who value amd want money more than the tickets.
You'd think people would give them away to friends, but no, they sell them, on E Bay. The asking price varies, up to about two thousand dollars, supposedly. Before monday, they'll all be in somebody's hands, and the place will be full.
There are people who seem shocked and horrified by this; inaugural tickets for sale online, as if its sacrilege. And i say: big freaking deal, as if buying and selling, anything and everything, isn't the backbone of america, and perfectly, patriotically appropiate to inauguration day.
Obama, the egalitatian socialist, who presides over the mad scramble for tickets to see himself as if he approves of capitalism when it suits him. Almost humorous. But its all good; the tickets'll end up in the hands of folks who really do want them.
Obama bought, or rebought, the presidency for a billion or so, and the inauguration will cost us tax payers many million, so let's enjoy it, and celebrate the spirit of wealth, the spirit of america.
