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.

31. Hope Obama shows up, says present, then leaves, just like the old days with his senate job. Suckers!

32. You know something? I am a mother of a grown son. But, I must be honest. Every single place you go to nowadays, it's damn screaming, angry raging kids everywhere! Face it guys. It's true. 2 minutes past Christmas Day and they'll be at it again. So, I AGREE here with the no babies, kids or strollers ban. I mean, it's history in the making for centuries to come, the last thing he and his family want at the swearing in ceremony are screaming, yelling fighting, arguing, nutty snotty brats taking away his thunder!
The mothers are fathers are worse at times! They cannot CONTROL or DISCIPLINE their kids anymore, and look the other damn way!
PARENTS - BE RESPONSIBLE for your ugly brats!

33. Dan,

Too easy.

"Obama is a thug." Please define "thug" in your own words so that we can understandd what you are saying

"He will do what he wants regardless of what anybody thinks" Like George W. Bush?

"He is Hitler is disguise." Please compare and contrast the characteristics of Hitler and Obama so that we can be as paranoid as you.

34. Hey DAN,

Let's just cut to the chase here. Barack Obama is going to invade Europe and execute 6 million Jews. GODDAMN LET'S ADVISE THE CIA, THE FBI, THE PENTAGON AND INTERPOL NOW. Dan, you really smart son-of-a-bitch, you figured it out and now the whole damn world will be safe, you racist bastard.

36. Hey...I'm one of those mom of 2 snotty nose brats that won't be able to attend the inauguration b/c I can't hold them and say...thank goodness! It gives me a valid excuse "sorry but they aren't allowed"....instead of making me look like I really don't want to take them. You think all moms like bringing their yelling, screaming, snot-running kids everywhere? We talk on our cell phones to escape the madness. And do I feel discriminated against...no way! Shall I book my babysitter now?

37. Did you spell check your headlines?!?!?!?!

38. HORRAY! For once obnoxious breeders have to put those damn strollers away and keep the brats at home! I live in DC and I am so tired of being nice and holding doors open for these rude moms who never say thank you - at stores, at musuems, it doesn't matter where. The fathers, on the other hand, are always nice to me;)

39. Understand that are expecting over 4 Million people at Obama's inauguration so not allowing strollers makes a lot of sense.
Go to the official website for the 2009 Inauguration http://inaugural.senate.gov/index.cfm and you will see that wheelchairs are allowed!

40. Who cares? The only ones who can even afford to go to this thing are richies like Oprah, Ludacris, Marty Sheen, and other hollywood big wigs. So much for looking out for the little guy. Can't even give the little guy affordable tickets.

41. What about the vertically challenge? If they can't have chairs to stand on, how are they going to see? They could stand atop the mound of BS the liberal media will be spewing, but than they'll need binoculars to look down. Are binoculars banned too?

42. They are banning babies because Obama would just want to kill them.

Little babies are punishment after all.

43. Great Idea!!!! This is history....the last thing we need is undisciplined kids and lazy people putting a damper on anything. Can't wait for his inaguaration!!!!! OBAMA ROCKS!!!!!!! Get that sorry Republican out of office. Let a REAL man do the JOB!!!!!!

44. And there wouldn't be any babies crying when the oath is administered if Obama had anything to say about it.

Babies be for aborting sayeth the Obama.

45. Barack isn't gonna get assassinated by KKK freaks or anyone else. This is more liberal nonsense.

He might get killed by another muslim who thinks he isn't doing enough to bring hatred to the entire world but most of those idiots are focused on highjacking planes.

People need to dial down the racist stuff about Obama. He won and even though I didn't vote for him I think people need to support our President in any case after the election. But crazed liberals gotta keep the hate flowing...

Support your President... even the one you hate. Or watch our country end up as messed up as Pakistan.
