Logistical Staffoo / myLot

Luncheon attendees today were not able to get down to the inaugural proceedings in the bleachers down by the Capitol building in D.C. So quite a bit of the bleacher seating was empty. Prime seating right there by the capitol. Empty. People in the Trump camp say that this was due to a 'logistical staffoo'. Newcasters were talking about big stretches of roadside areas that were vacant for the parade today also. Obama's first inauguration in 2009 was attended by 1.8 million people. That is nearly double the amount of people who showed up today to Trump's inauguration. Less than one million people. Early estimates are at 900.000. Trump had tweeted that his inauguration would be attended by more people than ever before in history. Actually it was about the opposite. I guess for a man who is successful in business he has a good skill going on. Picture and spout off about the outcome you want and go forward. It just seems that politics is a bit different in this regard than regular business. Hmm. Go figure.

that is their excuse for "we dont want to go and support a racist" or a "sexist" or a "horrible excuse for a person let alone a president", I would have loved to have gone... to be a protester.

I wonder if a lot of people were torn. Couldn't go to support him so why go?
