Obama Thugs, Boozers and Frat Boys Rejoice: DC Council Passes Law to Keep Bars Open Round the Clock During Inauguration

D.C. Bars To Stay Open Late for Obama Inauguration Partying
Council passes measure to keep bars open around the clock during inauguration week By Jim Iovino

Washington, D.C. residents and millions of tourists may not even remember next January’s inauguration weekend if they take advantage of a proposal to keep bars in the nation’s capital open 24 hours a day.

If the estimated 4 million people do swarm the District for President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration, they’re going to need some places to unwind with a drink, right? That’s the logic behind the capital’s city council’s plans to keep bars, restaurants and nightclubs open all night.

Tuesday evening, the District’s council passed emergency legislation to allow bars, restaurants and nightclubs to stay open until 5 a.m. for the inauguration, according to the Washington Examiner.

D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty had requested that nightclubs not be included in the measure.

Washington DC nightclubs have been notorious for violence and keeping the drinking going further into the morning hours will likely fuel more.

Is extended drinking hours a good precedent to set for a new Administration with an influx of younger workers?

It would seem that some new Obama officials already have a problem with appropriate behavior while consuming alcohol:

Photobucket

President-elect Barack Obama’s chief speechwriter, 27-year-old Jon Favreau took some interesting photos at a recent party he attended — including one where he’s dancing with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of secretary of state-designate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and another where he’s placed his hand on the cardboard former first lady’s chest while a friend is offering her lips a beer — popped up on Facebook for about two hours. The photos were quickly taken down — along with every other photo Favreau had of himself on the popular social networking site, save for one profile headshot.

The adults are leaving town with the Bush’s and the frat boys are back in charge!

Let the Good Times Roll!

Why not keep the bars open all night. They have Sodom. Why not at Gomorrah?

Scrap, I think you nailed it. If you think it is crazy on New Year’s Eve…

Only IF there is an Inauguration… I am still hoping that the SCOTUS does their job. Like Dr Kate said: “If the Court is silent in its dismissal I believe at that point the ‘take over’ feared and discussed in the Trojan Candidate has occurred. Mission accomplished: take America down from within”.

Well, with a ten percent tax on drinks and food, who wouldn’t expect the DC Council to vote to take advantage of the crowds?

The day before the 2001 Inauguration, my wife and I flew back to DC after my son’s graduation from Air Force basic training in San Antonio. The skies and airport bars were packed with drunk Texans headed to the Inauguration. Back in DC at night, we avoided packs of roving drunks in cowboy boots and stetsons through out the city.

I can only imagine what it’ll be like this year.

This is exactly the attitude that I would expect from Obama oriented thinking. Hell this is just the start. I’ll not be amazed at anything during his tenure.

I think it’s great. Good for the economy. Plus, I’m going to be there, and I don’t relish standing out in the cold all night!

Ok then, the same mentality that will deny homeowners from owning firearms, fully assembled and loaded for home protection will allow a mob of folks to drink all night to get loaded to wander the streets to celebrate the coronation of a frevent opponent to the 2nd Amendment as POTUS. (as if DC really needs a huge boost to their crime rate stats)

That really makes a lot of sense.
