Disgusting that Obama supporters would leave our nation's capital in such a filthy mess.

Many people at Inauguration did their best to dispose of trash properly. Plastic bottles and other non-degradable things were scarce for a crowd of 3 million. With so many people, however, it was difficult to reach trash receptacles.

This video is to show that many attendees of Pres. Obama's Inauguration recognized the hypocrisy of a National Mall littered with trash. You may see millions who left their trash behind, but we see thousands who cleaned up after them.

Why did anyone expect the masses to act any better than what they do in their own ghetto. Uhhh, so much for change. And if anyone is thinking this is a race thing... it's not. White mans ghetto is the trailer park.

All of the Glenn Beck croud took their trash with them.

Have you disgusting people ever heard of "Pack it in, Pack it out" Every one of you nasty pigs that left trash either brought it with you or bought it there, and you could have and should have taken it home, or to a place it could have been disposed of it the right way. This is the way you progressives pigs intend to leave our country as well.

Good idea giving a nod to the few that stood tall and did the right thing.

I suspect the seven White litter collectors were simply offended by the lack of decency displayed that day. You guys going to cover Mitt Romneys inauguration in 2013? Not only will the lawn be pristine, you will find people cleaning up after the protesters as well.

Which doesn't change the fact that millions of Obama supporters left trash behind. Boo hoo if there wasn't a trash can nearby. I go hiking for miles and carry all of my trash out. No excuse and it is pathetic to try to make excuses for these idiots.

This is how the Mall looked after the Inauguration of King Obama. What contrast in the quality of character of the people!

@LitterFreeINAUG More littered and didn't clean up than stayed behind to clean up. It's a disgrace.

Is this the community, hope, and change our dear organizer in chief promoted? Wouldn't you think people so tolerant, enlightened, and loving of their fellow man wouldn't leave it in such shambles. Kudos to those cleaning, but SHAME on the fucking pigs whole left their trash all over the place. DISGUSTING and VERY telling!
