Geez, at 19:41 EST on 6 February, you're the ONLY YES VOTE, Mike. At least you weren't shut out. Is that why you vote on your own polls so quickly, Chico?

Just because people disagree with you does not make them anti USA. I guess in your mind all those Americans who voted Democrat are anti USA as well?

Way to support YOUR president, pusspuss. Are you sure you wouldn't be happier in another country?

Here's what the organizer of the event said:

President Obama was invited but did not attend. Vice-President Joe Biden did appear, however, and was very warmly received. The new President’s absence was understandable considering the unprecedented logistical challenges presented by the vastly increased number of visitors to this inauguration and the necessary attendant security measures. The American Legion, as an organization, does not feel offended or “snubbed.”

Not according to the people involved. How disingenuous of you to feel "disrespected" on their behalf, when they did not.
