Put him out on the stage for full access. Work needs to be done.
Conservatives should Co-opt it with a 5 million man march. Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Savage, O'Riley, Coulter etc, should all come together and handle promotion and finance. That would certainly diminish his party.
people just can't afford it!

People wanted to see live in person the first black man taking oath to become POTUS. It's not as attractive now that it's already been done. I bet you when the first woman is taking oath there will be record numbers to be there as well.
