		<description>&lt;p&gt;Gregg…keep on this! You had your PURPLE TICKET! It’s right there in the upper right hand corner with the caption “&lt;strong&gt;My&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;PROPER&lt;/strong&gt; Purple Ticket” [emphasis added].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; I’m sure that your continuing &lt;strike&gt;obsession&lt;/strike&gt; investigation will keep your mind off all sorts of other trivial  things that will happen over the next few months. Particularly keep hounding the Secret Service (who don’t have anything better to do) and the Congressional Inauguration people. They’ll likely have some time to spare attending Committee meetings on this rather than those other items like Health Care reform, revisions of NCLB, Supreme Court nominees, investigations of Gitmo and CIA torture, and…well everything else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THIS IS PRIORITY ONE! Well, maybe after Obama’s tele-prompter snafus, his “insult” of handicapped kids, and the fact that he gave Gordon Brown the wrong format of videos. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, certainly the organizational muck-up is symbolic of this Administration. How can he run the country if he can’t he make the trains run on time? But you didn’t miss much. Obama didn’t really say the oath of office at the appointed hour and thus isn’t President, anyways. He’s as fake as Yo Yo Ma lip-synching cello that day (and how do you do that?).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks millions for the investigative reporting. Where else would you see such in depth coverage of an issue that is impacting millions of people.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for following up on this, Gregg. I also got stuck in a dangerously packed crowd, waiting to get in with my purple ticket. Like goldpearl, I encountered many, many people who’d traveled from far away because they had tickets, people who wanted their young children to see a once-in-a-lifetime event, elderly people with canes, dressed to the nines to attend something they’d never thought would happen during their lifetime. While I’m sure all of us were still thrilled that this inauguration took place, it was heartbreaking to see these people treated with absolute disdain. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To those who think we shouldn’t revisit this debacle, we were lucky not to get trampelled or crushed once we found ourselves in such a tight crowd with no one to help out. At the very least, those responsible need to learn from their mistakes so future DC crowds aren’t put in harm’s way.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don’t think the crowds in 2012 will be a problem.  Not after the general disappointment with Mr Inspriration, his broken promises on restoring the constitution, his disastrous leadership on the economy, and his coming broken promises on ending the war in Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;To Lurking Mod @ 32&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry. It’s just such a shock to see these comments here where people know how to behave towards the front pagers and then feel comfortable pulling this stuff. I don’t understand why it’s suddenly ok or why those I generally respect feel the need to be hurtful.  I’ll go quietly.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;thanks for the update.  i feel your pain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if you weren’t there &amp; didn’t see the disabled, the children, the very young campaign volunteers &amp; african american elderly folks who had traveled great distances from all over the world to witness this historical event in temperatures in the 20’s &amp; teens, (because we were invited by our congresspersons by being given much sought after tickets), you just won’t get why some of us wanted an explanation of the travesty that ensued.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this isn’t whinning - these are people who have waited patiently since january 20th to receive answers the inauguration committee promised us, not just to quell our disappointment of not being admitted to the event, but to also better understand an extremely dangerous situation, which in addition to the public’s safety, had also breached security protocol.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Oh my God!!! Is there a chance in hell the “wonderful” commenters at FDL could possibly try to understand the grievance here? How about a little empathy and a lot less embarassingly rude remarks. I don’t come here to see people being assholes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Kay, did I miss something?&lt;br /&gt;
This looks like a chronicle of a stupefying procedural fuck-up (I have DiFi as a Senator), and unless I skipped a seminal paragraph, I don’t see President Obama blamed for anything.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m sure this post is designed to keep the “I Hate Obama” Crowd here at FDL going, you know, the crowd who is blaming President Obama for everything that happened while George Bush was in charge, huh? Disgusting.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
