I find all this religious jabber only slightly less absurd for this event than Trump.

Let it never be said the US has separation of church and state.

This is pretty gross. Are all inaugurations basically a sunday sermon?

Worth pointing out that the 2017 image is also closer in.

This type of stuff really matters when Trump is involved. The media needs to make this the headline before he tries to spam twitter with 'OMG BIGGEST CROWD EVER' BS.

Trumpsters are already boasting that his crowd is smaller because "Trump supporters have jerbs and Obummer's didn't/don't"

Even the 2009 image is too close in to really show the difference.

Not sure if posted in this thread but:

Quote:
AT 10 AM the Saturday before inauguration day, on the sixth floor of the Van Pelt Library at the University of Pennsylvania, roughly 60 hackers, scientists, archivists, and librarians were hunched over laptops, drawing flow charts on whiteboards, and shouting opinions on computer scripts across the room. They had hundreds of government web pages and data sets to get through before the end of the day—all strategically chosen from the pages of the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—any of which, they felt, might be deleted, altered, or removed from the public domain by the incoming Trump administration.
Quote:
Their undertaking, at the time, was purely speculative, based on travails of Canadian government scientists under the Stephen Harper administration, which muzzled them from speaking about climate change. Researchers watched as Harper officials threw thousands of books of aquatic data into dumpsters as federal environmental research libraries closed.
