Were there any anti-Obama demonstrations set up to mar his inauguration? Maybe I missed it, but I don't remember anyone even proposing such. Even among people who were spitting nails and/or vastly depressed over his being elected. There were later demonstrations, but at the inauguration?

Remember the hilarious coverage of Tea Party rallies in D.C.? "Up to hundreds of people gathered near the reflecting pool today for impenetrable purposes." Aerial photos would show a sea of humanity. Somehow they never found the time to lavish attention on the organizers and probe their deepest wishes.
