Re: Inauguration Comparison
Trump supporters have jobs, bro. Obama supporters are mostly welfare recipients and thus have flexible schedules.

Wow! LOL!!
That could be! Never thought of that (I don't really spend too much time on politics), but it humorously explains the low turnout.

Re: Inauguration Comparison
Seriously? You believe that? It's not a perk of welfare here, and I can't believe that the American system is as generous as ours, certainly not more so.
Elitist much?

Why are you always wrong Ada,
Here are the incomes and the percentage of the people who voted for Obama and Mccain in 2008 presidential election.
INCOME
<$15,000 Obama Mccain
73 25
15,000 60 37
-29,999
$30-49,999 55 43
$50-74,999 48 49
$75-99,999 51 48
$100,000 & over
49 49
https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/polls/us-elections/how-groups-voted/how-groups-voted-2008/
So what that shows is support for Obama comes overwhelmingly from the low income earners(poor people) not the elite as you so stupidly claimed.
Get your facts right Ada before spouting off.
Re: Inauguration Comparison
To add to your point, the numbers in those higher-earning groups are also smaller than the middle-earning groups.

I am very amused that someone with no sense of humour and who was unable to spot the sarcasm in Smithjgs post and often has to have jokes explained to them is claiming to be very amused.
The reason why you ignore my posts is because I offer prove for everything I've said and I always prove you either wrong or a liar.

And as for what you say about Americans it's fair to say it should be taken with a pinch of salt,right Vicky32?

What utter bilge! I believe the IDF first came up with the "kill Muslim (alleged) terrorists and use pork products", but aren't Jews likewise forbidden to touch pork? It could backfire badly on them..
I know you Americans love to murder, but still, superstitious much? You sick, sick puppies.
Just adding that you're deffo very gullible, if you believe the 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by 19 Saudi/Afghani/Iraqi/Iranian guys - or whatever nationality Dubya told you they were this week! Porn reading drinking gambling Muslims at that

You should put everyone on ignore except Erjen. He's the only one that likes you.
Unless you love to pretend you're a victim and enjoy calling other people names (like a good Christian), in that case don't use ignore at all.

Fair enough - but your new friends (people who used to call you an evul theist idiot!) think I must be a Trump fan because I think Obama is evil.
It's very bizarre as they can't seem to realise that I am not a fan of either of them as I am not an American!!!

Re: Inauguration Comparison
Well, I'd say those who claim there were only ~250,000 vs Obama's 400,000+ will have to decide if they are right, and it was a good thing, you know, because Trump supporters have jobs and all that, or if Trump himself is right and indeed there was 1 to 1.5 million, which would mean all those supporters didn't have jobs and hadflexible schedules.
Someone's gotta get the story straight. Or, like in everything else, it's whatever sounds good at the time regardless of what's true.

Re: Inauguration Comparison
The story is straight.
There were way more people at both of Obama's inaugurations.
The funny thing is 250k isn't even remotely a bad number. I just like how it drives Trump, and by extension his fans, crazy that he is not as popular as his win would have them think. It just adds to the clear reality that his presidency is going to viewed as one that sucks.

Amazing isn't it.
The guy who bombed several nations, killing many civilians, and leaving two of those nations now a tragic war torn wreck. Is more popular than the guy who only suggested that America needs to be more sensible with who they allow to cross their border.

President Trumps press secretary, Sean Spicer, on Saturday used his first media briefing to angrily lambaste the press for its coverage of the new administration, claiming reporters had deliberately sought to minimize the enormous crowd at Trumps swearing-in on Friday.
This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period both in person and around the globe, Spicer said. These attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong.

The crowds are rigged.
TRUMP: I made a speech. I looked out. The field was it looked like a million, a million and a half people.
The president went on to say that one network said we drew 250,000 people. Now thats not bad. But its a lie. He then claimed that were 250,000 right by the stage and the rest of the, you know, 20-block area, all the way back to the Washington Monument was packed.
So we caught them, said Trump. And we caught them in a beauty. And I think theyre going to pay a big price.
THE FACTS: Trump is wrong. Photos of the National Mall from his inauguration make clear that the crowd did not extend to the Washington Monument. Large swaths of empty space are visible on the Mall.
Thin crowds and partially empty bleachers also dotted the inaugural parade route. Hotels across the District of Columbia reported vacancies, a rarity for an event as large as a presidential inauguration.
And ridership on the Washingtons Metro system didnt match that of recent inaugurations. As of 11 a.m. that day, there were 193,000 trips taken, according to the transit services Twitter account. At the same hour eight years ago, there had been 513,000 trips. Four years later, there were 317,000 for Obamas second inauguration.

Re: Inauguration Comparison
Someone on the Politics board made a good point as regards numbers.
Dubya's inauguration numbers were below Trump's. Obama's two inaugurations would be the records, with Trump's coming in third.

Re: Inauguration Comparison
I thought Bush's numbers were higher, but all the numbers are decent. 250k is a city of people that have no particular reason to show up except to support the guy.
I found this on TMZ but I assume they are all guestimates.

Then there's also those many factors that change over the years. TV/Internet viewership as opposed to attending in person. The varying reasons why people may or may not choose to attend.
Re: Inauguration Comparison
Absolutely, and the flipside of that coin is that travel has become more and more accessible. Numbers have generally gone upwards, but it's obvious that Obama would ramp them up higher, all else set aside.
But then, ignoring context isn't exactly new.

Bwahahahaha!
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday defended press secretary Sean Spicer's statement criticizing media coverage of the crowds at President Donald Trump's inauguration, saying he presented "alternative facts."
In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," host Chuck Todd pressed Conway on why Spicer, who blasted the media coverage of the crowds from the White House briefing room Saturday evening, would appear "in front of the podium for the first time and utter a falsehood."

Re: Inauguration Comparison
Why would that matter? Many of the people coming to an inaugural wouldn't be locals anyway. It's not like the reason Obama's numbers were huge was because the entire DC metro area came out.
People go to DC for these things all the time.
In comparison to Bush, it was on par to his second term (Clinton's too). Bush got about 400,000 his first term which makes sense considering his presidency wasn't splitting the party and really needed a sign of solidarity considering how the vote went down.
I just like that the reason it's a controversy is because Trump is making it one. I knew he and his cronies would despite the number being decent.
