Here’s Obama’s from SPAAAAAAAACE
https://content.satimagingcorp.com/static/galleryimages/geoeye-1-obama-inauguration-2009.jpgSo strange to see gathered humans as piles of ash. What a view.
I’ve never been there, but I know my way around thanks to division 2
I went there right after playing Fallout 3. It was eerily familiar. Looks way better in person.
Wait, there’s another satellite at bottom left.

Reminds me of Spicy’s first presser…. His tone and attitude had me immediately realize the next 4 years would be rough…
Spicey, the man who got fired because SNL mocked him. Melissa McCarthy with that motorized podium was amazing. It was almost too good, because it killed the golden calf that would have given them a ton of material.
Now imagine how big the crowd would be for Harris!
Or don’t.
Because until 2017, nobody gave a crap about the size of the crowd. Normal Presidents have had more important things to think about in their first 100 days in office.
Fr, like which sovereign nations they will impose sanctions on. Will 30% seem tyrannical? How many should I drop bombs on?
That kind of thing.
no one wants to hear your bitchin
I only care because I know it pisses Trump off.
Know what pisses him off even more? Not mentioning his name.
Better tell the media that. He’ll never know whether or not people on here are.
I was pretty sure it was gonna be a shit show as soon as the election results came in, but the fact the dumbass lied so obviously and pathetically only hours into his term really ironed in how fucked the next four years were gonna be.
I was one of those idiots going back and watching old Trump interviews and thinking, “Well, see, this dude can’t be the total idiot he’s putting on display today. Maybe he’s playing some crazy game and he won’t be as bad as he looks like he’s going to be.”
That lie made it clear to me that my stupid theory was no good. He won, there was no point in playing a character.
He got fame and attention for being exactly what he is. He doesn’t need to be anything else.
There were more protesters at Trump’s event than supporters
There were also massive numbers of protesters at other events. Too bad it wasn’t a general strike.
Some of those people are still facing legal trouble too. Look out for your comrades.
harris’s will be more packed than obama’s
I mean, I watched bush’s inauguration as a kid, and was stoked for Obama’s having voted in my first presidential election.
Purely based on “middle aged white guy=mid numbers” and “first black president=large numbers” I feel that “first Woman, and second POC” will mean bigly numbers.
If it’s not, I’ll be amazed.
Surprised at how ugly the area is.
It’s prettier in the spring and summer
Why not have election in spring then?
“How pretty the natural landscape is” isn’t typically a requirement when planning elections.
boo
I mean, I think aesthetics are important which is why I think the debates ought to include a swimwear and ballgown competition too
good point; what are we even doing with these elections

Yeah, it’s definitely no Paris or Rome. But it’s a little better in the spring and summer.
I was at George W.'s inauguration with a school group, and it wasn’t as packed as Obama’s but it blew Trump’s out of the water, and it was cold and windy AF.
I was at George W.'s inauguration
Washington? Wow.
must has been the second one
**Lmfao
I wonder if it confuses the shit out of foreigners when we refer to Bush Jr. As George W.
It ain’t George Washington. President George Washington always gets his name stated, no abbreviation.
When people get into large, really really large, crowds, I can’t help but see them as a horde of bugs.
Sean Spicer needing to defend Trump’s absurd claim about attendance to keep his job was delightful TV.
The lies started on day one and kept on going. My grandmother was a narcissist and a pathological liar. Trump reminds me of her quite a bit…
2021 had very few people because of corona.
2021 had very few people because of corona
Just another day of Biden supporters repeating claims trump supporters used to make.
Biden didn’t get elected because people wanted him to be president, he got elected because in the general he was the only option not named trump.
Expecting him to draw a crowd like 08 Obama is just ridiculous
They actively discouraged people from coming because of corona. That’s why it isn’t comparable.
yeah without corona I have no doubt he would have atracted as many as obama but it would be a crowd just so happy its not trump anymore.
But even without that stuff, Biden never had what Obama had in 08.
People travelled from all over, it was a huge deal and people were literally celebrating in the streets nationwide.
Some of that was because we getting rid of GW, but most of it was excitement about Obama.
In 2020 there wasn’t excitement from anyone, just relief.
-
Never get involved in a land war in Asia
-
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line
-
Never get into a dick-measuring contest with Barack Obama.
-
OK… Nobody claimed he would have anything like what Obama had.
But the biggest factor for turnout was still covid.
It’s weird that you’re turning this into some sort of “man look at blue maga here!” thing.
Also it was weeks after January 6th, security was high and I’m sure everyone who was there was on edge imagining a crazy MAGA supporter with a gun or a bomb.
Man if only there was some word for using violence to instill fear in political opponents.
Oh well.
To be fair, in 2008 Obama and Hillary Clinton were viable candidates (despite not being a white Christian rich man) because the US public was really tired of Republican shennanigans, and of the Bush administration specifically. While McCain seemed reasonable Sarah Palin was scary and the McCain campaign took its cues from the ur-Maga Karl Rove / Tea-Party Republican talking points, who were only onto public benefits if no-one else got them.
Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for simply not being
TrumpBush and admitted as much it was rather silly when he promised to work to rise to the level of deserving it.Sadly, Obama retained a lot of Bush policies and was more neoliberal than we needed.
I really thought after Bush, we’d never vote for a Republican president again, nor would we allow one to win by the EC. I was wrong and the US paid for it dearly. So I’m really sore and bitter about the whole affair.
Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for simply not being Trump
Do you mean Bush here? He got the prize in 2009, Trump wasn’t even politically active for another 6 years.
Yes. Fixed!

The biggest crowds, the best crowds 🤌
Obviously, all the people on the right wearing camouflage. That’s why we can’t see them. /s
Was that photo taken at the very peak of impeached ex-president’s crowd?
Course, even if it was, we’re still comparing apples…
