It was the largest crowd in history to ever have witnessed a presidential inauguration.
A record-setting 1.8million people crowded on to the National Mall in Washington DC yesterday to watch Barack Obama become the first black president of the United States on the steps of the Capitol Building.
They had been waiting since dawn - some had even camped over night - in sub-zero temperatures for a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance.
But now the pomp is over, circumstances are looking a bit messy.
These pictures show not only the scale of the crowd, but the scale of the clean-up now facing Washington's street cleaners.
It looks like 1.8 million people could easily fit in the Capitol buildings three+ floors.
“1.8 million,” my butt.
I watched part of the joke on C-Span2 last night. I was amazed at the amount of litter on the ground at the end. Appaernetly, these green, environmentally aware liberal Democrats think its ok to leave all of this stuff on the ground.
If only all these people will watch and pay attention to what he actually does for the next four years...
It will take long to pick up their mess because that’s how ‘Rats are. The government will do it for me.
With messy and disrespectful as their middle names, oh yeah, and environmentalist, I guess they can reconcile littering just as they do polluting with their private jets.
Hmmmm....’clean up the mess’....wonder how long it would take to clean up ZerO’s mess? [That’s assuming there is a country to clean up]
They must have used truck loads of Renuzit in the Reflecting Pool.

Hmmm...so that’s what it looked like from space. From my TV it looked like a bunch of idiots.

Typical Democrats - someone else is always responsible for the real work
reminds me of one of my old taglines....woodstock defined the current crop of libs, but who cleaned up the mess they left behind?
CHANGE you can believe in
This is pretty much the view that BHO had when taking the Oath of Office... I find it ironic that one of the things he saw while looking out over the crowd was a Horse's Ass. The million people looking the other direction saw one, too.
They look like the flock that hovers over the landfill near here. Known locally as "Mount Trashmore".
Wonder what attracted the birds in this photo...
Look, a picture from 2012... Those were the days eh...
