There was a time you could score some tickets to Obama's Inaugural parade for just $25-a-pop -- but that was before the scalpers descended.
Loads of the 5,000 available bleacher seat tickets are being re-sold for ten times their $25 dollar ticket price. Some scalpers have even reported pulling in $600 per ticket.
Obama's camp is against the scalping -- but unfortunately the practice is legal.

That is why I never buy tickets to any kind of events. It's all a money making scam for those who get their hands on the tickets first. Those who are really interested in the event, have to pay the crazy prices to the scalpers.

Sorry, but even if THEY paid ME, I wouldn't go see this idiot get sworn in. He's soooooo wrong for this country and people will find this soon enough. Hopefully, it won't be too late.

Hey did you hear.....someone thinks those girls are crack babies and Barack and Michelle Obama are not the real parents! Maybe it is the same people who are saying Sarah Palin is not her baby's mother...but I thought it was the Obamas saying all those terrible things about the Palins. Then, they are saying Michelle is really Michael and had a sex change operation and they got those crack babies to cover for themselves as they are really a gay couple and want to pretend to be a family.
They have taken drama lessons along with those girls and this is all a fake act and more so than anything Hollywood could ever dream up.
I hope it POURS RAIN on the Inauguration and that people stay home and away from this entire charade.

You forgot to mention that it is the black trash obama kids selling those tickets at a ripeoff to the white folk but they do include some stepped on dope with each ticket.
The Africans did not have to buy tickets as they rioted and got their's for free.
Hey share the wealth and a change is coming !
