Tomorrow is a historic day for our country. No matter who you voted for we will all have a new President. Please check out a few of the funny or not so funny stories from the Past Presidential Inaugurations.

From dead pigeons dropping along the parade route, to sneaking out the back door of your own inauguration party - the Presidents of the past have had a lot to laugh about. 

I think Richard Nixon's stories were my favorite. Check out this LINK  and let me know which ones make you laugh so hard you cried.You got to love politics!

Some of those were pretty funny. I can't believe how bad the pigeon thing back fired. I wonder who got stuck cleaning that up?-Dinah Lee

Good old Nixon had plenty of people **** on him during his terms, some of it deserved, but killing pigeons is a bit much.  Poor things.  And those poor canaries!  These were funny except for concern for the birds.  Thanks for sharing.

Susan, Presidents, no matter what party they are from, are open to outrageous, bitter and uncivil commentary. It will probably never stop either. And who knows what World Event will shape the Presidency of President Obama.

Dinah Lee, your comments sometimes give me a good chucke. The pigeon thing was bizarre.
