in freezing temperatures to catch a glimpse of our real president and vice president, finally.
I hope our new leaders at least stop and give a speech. What a testament to their popularity.
Edit to add, heard it on cnn.

13. down from 5m I'm sure. They successfully scared me off |
|
The lack of restrooms & cold weather reports combined with the prospect of sharing the mall with 5 million others scared me away. :cry:

15. Actually its a blessing that 5M are not showing up.. |

It would have been chaos. 2M will be tough enough.
