Drudge Report Pokes Fun at Obama "[Re]Travel" Train Trip to Washington
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | January 17, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 01/17/2009 4:27:59 PM PST by Federalist Patriot

Matt Drudge at The Drudge Report poked fun today at the much-heralded Obama Whistle-stop Train Tour to Washington, D.C. Drudge linked to an article about the train tour with the bold headline, "Obama [Re]Travels to Washington." Obama, who has been in D.C. for days, flew to Philadelphia to get on the train and travel back to Washington, D.C. The train trip is meant to evoke the aura of Abraham Lincoln's train trip to Washington, D.C. ahead of his inaugural. The big difference: Lincoln was not in Washington prior to beginning the train trip!

You fought your way through the Drudge SpyWare and Pop-Ups?

Awesome. Did the Hack Drudge reward you with stale information?

Matt the Hat must be a racist - he has mocked The One (piss be upon him).

You sure you are not talking about the parody site? I have never had a popup or spyware from drudge. And if you think his information is stale, why does the tv media use his site to find stories?

Obama, who has been in D.C. for days, flew to Philadelphia to get on the train and travel back to Washington, D.C.

With nothing but fawning on all the airwaves all day today; not a damned word - or anything near it - about the silly, pompous theatrics of this stunt.

Phockitol - I'm pouring myself a drink and turning on the Travel Channel so I can watch some fat chef eat bugs in Indonesia.

Narcissistic, self-privileged pile of chimera shit. I hope the gaddamn thing derails into a trackside pile of dry coal slurry, and his Newport sparks off the dust.

You're probably in the minority then....I gave up on that site 6 or 8 years ago for just that reason.

From 0be’s speech in Baltimore, he’s starting the country over to perfect it in his image. The train may have been Lincoln, but Philly was where the action was in the 1700s.

Never mind the fact also that Lincoln had to sneak in Washington while in disguise with the Civil War breaking out.

Drudgereport.com has no spyware on his site, at all. If he did, he wouldn't be the best source for news in the US right now. I'm glad you found this information yourself from another source.

Crickets churping.

Oops my bad, you didn't.

This guy is all about symbolism. There is no substance to him. He is nothing more than marketed smoke.

Since he likes to mimic Lincoln so much...just when will he head off to the theater to watch a nice little replay of Our American Cousin?

Goodness look at you worship the man!

Do you have shrines to these false idols?
