Anyone else have a hard time corroborating Reps snubbing Obama?

The inauguration that is.. Lots of snubs to be found all around
I used a story this morning about Boehner and crew going to party in Vegas and someone said the source was iffy at best. Later I found this link to the party hosts wife's page and it looks like a more legit source to me. Just sharing.

1. I remember someone being asleep

But then check out who else is in that shot (2 rows back to the left)!

You can actually go here and zoom in (this was from 2009). I remember when that full hi-res inauguration picture came out and there was alot of buzz.

Edit to add: If you go to that hi-res pick link, you can pick out who I believe is Cheeto Boner there. He is sitting along the portico rail on what looks like a 3rd row perpendicular to (and facing) Shrub and Darth.

2. lol!

The Vegas party was 2013, but this is good. Pence probably never dreamed what was possible back then.

3. Okay

I found Cheeto Boner in that 2009 shot (edited my post).

I'm still looking for cheeto. But I found Bill and Hillary and the back of BERNIE HEAD! The high resolution pic is great

7. If you start with the original picture

and zoom in on the section of the Capitol portico in the foreground (the large section to the left of the podium when facing it), that has the red/white/blue banners.... There is a metal rail and you can zoom close up on that, look for Biden, and look at those seated right along the rail (not far from Biden, probably 10ft or so).

4. Technically there was no crowd watching President Obama's second swearing in

Obama Sworn In for 2nd Term, This Time Quietly

By JACKIE CALMES
JAN. 20, 2013

<SNIP>

The official swearing-in of Mr. Obama, 51, was just the seventh time in history that a president was sworn in privately before the public ceremony, and the first since President Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration. Each instance since 1821 occurred because the constitutionally mandated date for the inauguration fell on a Sunday.

The simplicity of Mr. Obama’s minute-long taking of the oath of office suggested a marriage before a justice of the peace, with a big ceremony and party planned for later.

Only Michelle Obama, holding her family Bible for the ceremony, and the Obamas’s daughters, Malia and Sasha, stood beside Mr. Obama in the grand Blue Room as he recited the 35-word oath in the Constitution that was administered, as it was four years ago, by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. About a dozen relatives of the Obamas and Jane Roberts, the justice’s wife, watched out of camera range.

6. wow, I didn't know that.

It's a great bit of history.

8. We all remember that first time

where Roberts fucked it up and they had to have a do-over later.

9. I wonder if getting sworn in four times is some kind of record?

Because Roberts has sworn Obama in four times - 2009, 2009 re-do, 2013 official,2013 public. For a president in office eight years that seems unusual.

11. It's sad.

But then you do have this unique but unfortunate (due to the circumstances) swearing in -
