Maybe if you include infants you'd have a point. I doubt that people wait in long lines, go through heavy security checkpoints and stand around for hours by accident.Sure. It draws large crowds in person. I'm not convinced very many people who aren't there really care though.
And I'll bet you any amount of money the majority of those football players make far more money then the President!I'll bet you any amount of money you want to bet that the Super Bowl gets far better ratings than the inauguration.
Same in every country with a directly elected head of state.Here in the US, the President is the People's President.
You could put all the royal families in Europe together and not see such pomp. The deification is a bit dodgy imo.Today is the People's day, in keeping with the Constitutional role of the President as the chosen leader for all Americans. It's a ceremony, not a party.

Ask any Royal Watcher who spent more and who cares more and the Royal Families and their doings are the ones that command attention. Obama is not even a minor fool in a royal court.
Seriously, am I missing something or did Diane's wedding or the burial of a queen get more ink and bandwidth? Not to mention, the cost to the state.
Yes, that IS the bottom line. President Obama was re-elected. Those who try to use statistics to "prove" otherwise are full of sssssour grapes.Meh. He won.

No, not in as many words. But you are clearly getting your marching orders from the GOP, and are parroting what GOP politicians are saying at this very moment. And that's the problem.I never said he didn't win.
I'm not going to be led around in another circle about this. One is my limit. It's a fact that many Americans do still care about pomp and circumstance. The President did in fact win re-election with a clear majority. Period.
I love my country and respect its Constitution. That includes the traditions that we, the People have to celebrate our system of government. I'm rapidly running out of tolerance for those who piss on the parade just because they're unhappy about who's the guest of honor. It's only bad form to be a sore loser, but it's unacceptable to be a wet blanket.
