  Inaugural Security Review: 2009 v. 2005 (Obama v. Bush) Barack Obama, Beltway Politics, DC Life, Democrats, Government, Party Politics | (1)

  If you live anywhere inside the DC Beltway, over the last few weeks it’s been impossible to go anywhere without seeing something related to the inauguration of Barack Obama. Furthermore, if you live or work in Northwest DC, it’s impossible to drive or walk anywhere without seeing marked roads, street vendors, advertisements and Secret Service barricades. While things have been chaotic in the weeks leading up to the inauguration, a significant portion of the city will essentially be locked down by the United States Secret Service, and a variety of other agencies, making entering the Distinct of Columbia by car (especially from ...

  Obama Inauguration: coming to a movie theater near you Barack Obama, Campaign '08, Government, Liberalism, Party Politics |

  For most of us by now, any level of shock regarding the inauguration of Barack Obama is fairly small. He has definitely given us a candidate, a campaign, an election, and now and inauguration that will go down in history and set a new bar for any candidate who wishes to seek the Presidency. This time, it looks like the objective (kidding) media executives at MSNBC have worked out a deal with Screenvision that will essentially grant the rights for MSNBC’s coverage to be aired in 27 theaters. From THR.com: President-elect Barack Obama is on his way to the big screen, thanks to ...

  Obama Water: Hydration You Can Believe In Barack Obama, Beltway Politics, DC Life, Democrats, Liberalism, Party Politics, Sex |

  Maybe it'll be the retail-Obamagazm the nation seems to having that will stimulate the economy. After seeing Obama Condoms, Obama Thongs, and even Obama Sex Toys (nsfw), the next natural progression (aside from his own brand of after-sex cigarettes) would be bottled water. America, Obama Water is now here. From MediaBistro.com: We went into Whitley Market on the corner of Highland and Franklin on Saturday to buy some over-priced breath mints and there across from the Marilyn Monroe wine and the Elvis lighters was Obama Water. The water could go nicely with the George Bush toilet paper our cousin sent us for Christmas. Which ...

  Barack Obama and Adrian Fenty get their Ben’s Chili Bowl fix Barack Obama, Beltway Politics, DC Life, Democrats, Party Politics |

  It definitely looks like Barack Obama is going through all of the necessary motions in becoming a full-time DC resident. On Saturday, the President-elect, along with DC Mayor Adrian Fenty made a surprise stop at Ben’s Chili bowl, a famous DC restaurant (located at 1213 U Street, NW). From CNN’s Political Ticker: WASHINGTON (CNN) –- Obama popped in for lunch Saturday at Ben’s Chili Bowl, the 50-year-old Washington fast food institution famous for its “half-smokes” –- sausages smothered in spicy homemade chili sauce, mustard, and onions. The visit came as a complete surprise to Sonya Ali, one of the owners of the family-run ...

  A new Congress, a new administration, and a new city Barack Obama, Beltway Politics, Congress, Conservatism, DC Life, Democrats, Government, Liberalism, Party Politics |

  As preparations are made for the start of the 111th Congress, and the upcoming Presidential Inauguration, it’s hard to pay attention to (or even notice) the other significant changes that are happening around the city. One major change that will definitely be noticed shortly after President Obama takes his seat as the leader of the free world is the major ideological shift that Washington, D.C. will undergo. For the last eight years, while the city politics of Washington have been consistently liberal, the demographic that works in Washington and makes up the surrounding metro areas has maintained a fairly moderate lean. With that ...
