Big Babies Banned from Obama Inauguration

If you planned on taking a chair or a stroller to Obama's swearing-in on Jan. 20 -- think again.

Officials are saying "safety first" as thermoses, coolers, backpacks and signs also won't be allowed along the parade route -- but it's the chairs and strollers that are causing a big fuss.

On the bright side -- there won't be a lot of babies crying when the oath is administered.

16. No, I'm not a 5th grader. But, good try.

Actually, I have educated myself about the crappy pols in Chicago. This Blago thing is just the tip of the iceberg.

So, I'll just sit back and laugh, This country is having the biggest fraud perpetrated upon itself and everyone is lapping it up like a dog on a hot summer's day.

17. This is one of the FEW THINGS about this guy that makes any sense.

Continue to boycott Oprah Winfrey! Google and read how she is now planning to buy a mansion as close to the White House as possible so she can play second first lady!

Oprah Winfrey imo is as guilty as Rezko and all the other unsavory friends of lying Obama and I hope her phone is being tapped - just as the Governor's was!

How dare Oprah Winfrey move to be close to the President. She is a lying racist nobody and needs to move to Africa to supervise that ridiculous school of hers and stay out of our government. The bitoch did NOTHING for the Chicago public schools and girls were molested at the school she built as a tribute to her big fat ugly self. Let her go to Africa with her show and help their economy. She has proven how adept she was by the molestation that occurred at the school and she has no role in DC. She is making herself look guiltier than the Governor of Chicago by her actions!

18. By banning chairs, he is discriminating against people who cannot stand for long periods of time......but, lets give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe, he just wants to be a dictator when he dictates everyone must stands at attention.

19. I hope it's 20 below zero at the inauguration.

BTW, will the street crowds turn the backs to Obama like they did Bush on his inauguration day?

I have to laugh when people talk about how we should all come together. Yeah right.

20. So Beachy,

Having proclaimed yourself not to be a 5th grader, I assume that you are just not very smart.

"But, good try" is not a complete sentence. "Pols" - I have no idea to what you are refering. What fraud is being committed? You referred to Governor Bagojevich in your diatribe. Guilty or not of the charges against him, fraud was not one of them. I appreciated your attempt to use the word "perpetrate" but please learn what it means before you make a fool of yourself and do it again. As for your use of the cliche "lapping it up like a dog on a hot summer's day", please do not do that again either.

Be a part of the solution or part of the problem. It is your choice.

21. Anyone attending this fraudulent inauguration who is injured or becomes ill due to there being no chairs should sue Barack and Michelle Obama PERSONALLY!

22. Hey 18,

You got it goin' on! You get it. So many fools out there. It's nice to see another critical thinker!

23. I guess Obama doesn't know or care that the Aryan Nation and KKK is doing a huge protest during the Inaguaration.

There is going to be over a million of them there along the parade route which they have planned out with members
all across the United States. There was a new story about this on CBS the other night. People are worried the worst is going
to happen and there is going to be a massive riot that is going to break out. The KKK and Aryan Nation have gas masks
and everything and are prepared to battle if need be. I FEEL bad for anyone that is going to get caught in this crap. Doesn't look good!

24. Hey 19 (a cool Steely Dan Song),

Your comments just show your ignorance. I pity you and the fools you hang with. You tried to be COOL, but instead, you came across as the ignorant fool you are. I'll sit back and watch you make a bigger fool of yourself.

Oh, by the way, since you're such the grammar queen, you might want to learn how to spell Blago's name. You're such a hack. People like you make my day. You actually do your side injustice.

Come back!

25. If I made an error, and I did, I stand corrected.

Now that I have your attention, other than the fact that President-Elect Obama is a Democrat, what is your real problem?

26. No surprise there. Hell, when he visited Springfield IL, ppl couldn't even have their water bottles in the 90 degree heat! A lot of people and children were taken to the hospitals and treated for heat stroke. I don't really feel bad for them though (children excluded). They were stupid enough to waste their time on this douche.

27. What about all those fat asses in those fake wheelchairs from the scooter store? You know they won't be turned away. Eventually we'll be an entire nation rolling around in those damn things, legs too weak and ass to big to walk. What a great country we'll be then. I guess we'll stop having kids too, cause we won't be able to get out of the damn scooter to have sex, so the stroller issue will no longer be an issue!

28. G Love,

Have you had any education at all? Are you really that ignorant to bother and write what you did? What the hell is going on? My father is 84 years old and a Veteran of WWII. He received a Purple Heart while in service in Europe. He uses one of "those fake wheelchairs from the scooter store". GO TO HELL.

29. I was recently on a flight and they no longer have priority boarding for families with kids. WOOHOO! That seems to be discrimination according to some of the posters on this board.

TMZ is right in calling all of these people big babies for whining about not being able to bring kids.

30. Was it discrimination against people without kids before or discrimination against people with them now? Think about it.
