No one on the right tried to ruin Obama's inauguration but that favor will not be repaid. Reuters reports, via Yahoo News:
Protests will aim to disrupt Trump inauguration: organizers Thousands of demonstrators are expected to turn out in Washington next week for protests aiming to "shut down" the inauguration of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president, organizers said on Thursday.
