Will the GOP object to Obama's large inaugural balls?

[jberryhill]

We should predict the outrages in advance.

They will probably compare the size of Obama's inaugural balls to the size of every other president, and be apoplectic over Obama's massive inaugural balls.

"Suspend your huge inaugural balls" will be the teabaggers' next demand.

1. In honor of this election result we should have a Blue Ball in D.C.

which will be painful for Republicans.

[BainsBane]

5. getting larger by the day.

[bluedigger]

6. I'm pretty sure Blue Balls are non-partisan.

Unless I'm a Republican and don't know it.

[jberryhill]

11. They will feel shafted by that

[ProudProgressiveNow]

25. +1 nt

[MADem]

2. I dunno, but I have to say I find your subject line hilarious! nt

[BainsBane]

3. Does the sun rise in the east?

Of course they will.

[graham4anything]

4. I do think the repub/libertarian/teas are going to complain about Obama's Balls

[jberryhill]

12. Remember how much they hated the stimulus package?

Oh noes, Obama's package is so large it will tear the country apart!

[graham4anything]

20. they might even extend it really causing Boehner to cry

(btw, I always wondered if he pronounced his name with an A when he wasn't famous)

[still_one]

7. since the GOP doesn't have any, I suspect they would object

[jberryhill]

27. They have had to neuter their planned balls

[SheilaT]

8. No doubt.

But I used to live in the DC area, and I noticed that whenever Republicans had won the Presidency, bad taste in Inaugural outfits came to the forefront. Really. One year (Reagan was elected that year) I had the dubious privilege of working for a local department store, and it was hilariously awful what people were buying, giddy with anticipation of attending some Inaugural event of some kind.

When Democrats won, there was a more subdued atmosphere.

9. It's to bad Obama can't use the Inaugural ball as a way to raise money for

Rebuilding after hurricane Sandy. Wouldn't that be interesting if the ball could actually be put to good use in raising money for that or the redcross.

10. Go to Whitehouse.gov and draft a petition

Be the change.

[defacto7]

13. Good idea

Welcome to DU!

[jberryhill]

15. Invite Romney to collect canned goods!

[PD Turk]

[Scootaloo]

16. Beat me to it, dammit

[Chunk]

17. "Suspend your huge inaugural balls" will be the teabaggers' next demand.

Suspend your huge inaugural balls said the teabagger? Oh My!

[Chunk]

18. Taint of scandal around his presidency

[jberryhill]

21. The mood in Washington will become testy

[Elwood P Dowd]

19. Michelle isn't going to let the repukes mess with Obama's balls.

[jberryhill]

23. She's good at handling things like that

[dem4ward]

22. With the current state of the economy and fiscal challenges

Should Democrats be "thrifty" and limit the overall size and budget of this event? I mean sure the first go round it was monumental, but this is round 2. This would be a perfect time to show our ability to save money wherever possible!

[jberryhill]

24. I don't get it

I was just gagging on the balls

[ProudProgressiveNow]

26. +1000 nt

[NC_Nurse]

31. The GOP will go nuts!
