here is obama inauguration speech
here are preparations for obamas inauguration. 
I am african and came to america beleiving that the american president is the american president. Whether he fucks up or does something else… he is the american president. This was the low low of 2008 and hope to never see this happen to a president again.
Happy new 2009
“The inauguration committee of President-elect Barack Obama, who ran on a platform to change the way business is done in Washington, is selling four-day packages of four tickets to his historic swearing-in ceremony and parade plus some extras in exchange for $50,000.
The deal does represent a change. President Bush charged $250,000, selling his supporters a much bigger menu of inaugural goodies that featured candlelight dinners.
On Friday, members of the Obama National Finance Committee were spreading the word about their package to friends and associates around the country.”

Yep dont try to sell those tickets or you will be in a shitload of trouble.
Apparently thanks to this article here by USA TODAY, people dont give a shit about not having tickets to obamas inauguration. Its funny but i think people just want to be around the event. TO know that they were there when change happened. Heres the quote.
“One way or another, we’re going to be there,” says Earl Heard, 56, of Gadsden, Ala. His wife, Anna, booked a hotel before the election, he says, but odds they’ll find tickets are “slim to none.”"
Well if you dont have enough money, you can also watch the practise ceremony which shouldnt change much.
“Can’t get tickets to the inauguration? No hotel rooms to be had that week? No problem, people. Avoid the crowds and the traffic and the expense, and check out the inaugural rehearsal.
It’s scheduled for Jan. 11, and you can watch the whole thing twice that day.
Few of the VIPs will be present — they are portrayed by stand-ins wearing name placards — and there won’t be an inaugural address, but you can’t have it all.”
Theres nothing that can change watching the ceremony on january 20.
I waas scanning my good alerts today and came across this article about why people would kill for obama inauguration tickets. Being from africa - kenya for that matter i am and have been used to african leaders so beleive it or not obama is not that much of a big deal with me. Since i was a little baby i was dealing with black presidents. Its the same thing, just a guy who’s a little tanned.
Now heres the thing thats coming up with obama, this country despite being miles ahead of europe and the rest of the world(even you china) has never had the guts to have an african american for president. Maybe it was the approach of the african american leaders who were vying for presidency that were taking the wrong approach. The truth is, its never about having a black man for president - nope its about having an american for president.
Obama subconsciously understood that, living in hawaai indonesia and allthose other states was insulated from some of the crap that has robbed this country of some amazing african american leaders. At the right time, its tough for me to see how much everyday such a great country treats its citizens like crap and i think obama did. I didnt grow up in america and came here in my early twenties so its not ignorance but pure delight seeing america taking this chance to have a dreamer in power. This should be different from the jimmy carter days. So when i read this article here and i quote..
“It’s the moment when I’m first called the n-word. And the moment when an inexplicable bond forms between my cousin and me. Because my cousin not only came to my aid, but actually chased away my aggressors - who were about eight years older and 18 inches taller than him.
I’ve noticed a new energy across the country since Obama became the Democratic nominee, even felt it among complete strangers. It’s in the slight upturn of the corners of their mouths. In the knowing glow in their eyes. In the pronounced statement they made on Nov. 4.
I think of this energy as the same urge to overcome ancient barriers demonstrated by my cousin so long ago. It’s also the reason that I’d like to attend the inauguration on Jan. 20. To witness the strength and the courage of Americans like my father, my cousin and the millions of Americans who made their will for something new loud and clear.
Obama’s inauguration will be a celebration of his election, sure, but to me it’s more a celebration of all the Americans who made this day possible.
Please let me know if there’s a ticket available for me.”
trust me i totally understand.
Cheers
smile :). There you have it, approach republican senators for the tickets.
