At Dugan's, an Irish bar in Greektown, about a hundred Young Republicans came together tonight to share their pain and plan for 2010.

Nick Schrock said he listened to the inauguration speech while working out on a treadmill.

"Obama's speeches are like listening to Enya. You feel good while you listen, but afterwards, you've forgotten the words." said Schrock, 27, a computer engineer from the West Loop.

Laura Kotelman, 36, communications director for the Young Republicans and a Chicago native, said the event was "a good way to get together and get ready for 2010." Kotelman said she did not watch today's ceremony.

"I had to work," she said. "I had to earn the wealth that will be redistributed." She works in business development for a global law firm.
