We get it Media Bias....we know...you've been banging that drum so loud for so long people don't hear it anymore.

One reason for "Lockdown" is because this was the 1st Inauguration since 911 and it had a different security model than anything like it before. Media thrives on hype...From "Storm of the Century" to "Just Believe" everything is a buzz word of sensationalism....gotta learn to ignore it. Your Blood pressure will thank you.

And considering that the Bush administration's main push for his second term was Keeping America Safe, i'm betting he LOVED this article using the term Lockdown....

and there are articles about the security concerns out there.....

If you havent figured it out by now, this is my main gripe in the political fourms, this double standard for liberals. Why I am so negative to Obama is becasue the truth will be shadowed by the press.
