AggieDave 6 #2 January 15, 2009 Four years ago the media was lambasting Bush for the money spent on the celebrations in DC. This year, not a peep of dissent. The "chosen one" is breaking a record for the amount of money spent on an inauguration, even though nationally we're in a recession, and the media has wet its pants in excitement for the festivities.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Agreed. I think Bush spent 40 million. Barack is closing on 100 million. Bush had to declare aq state of emergency to get funding for Barry's party.Please don't dent the planet.

airdvr 200 #8 January 15, 2009 Quote But, I think most of the money is private, so I don't care. The emergency declaration -- based on crowd projections, not the weather -- came less than a week after D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) asked for the aid, citing estimates of 1.5 million to 2 million people expected to attend, according to a Bush administration spokesman. The city has projected its tab for the inauguration at $47 million, about three times as much as Congress has given the District. Please don't dent the planet.

Nah this is what happens when the people are happy with the person they have elected as opposed to being terribly unsure about celebrating a debacle after the appointment of a president by the Supreme Court. The complaints from the left had nothing to with public opinion of Bush. It was a crticism for wasting money. The Associated Press moved a story that asked, "With that kind of money, what could you buy?" The answer, the wire service said: "200 armored Humvees ... vaccinations and preventive health care for 22 million children ... and a down payment on the nation's deficit." -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

You are free to feel lthat way if you wish. You are free to donate if you wish. But you should at least admit that it is silly for people to have bitched about how much was spent last time, to cheer this time when the amount is much greater. And only time will tell how Obama does. To qoute J. Wayne, "I didn't vote for him, but he is my President and I hope he does a good job." I hope we have no attacks, I hope the economy grows, I hope peace comes to the middle east, I hope the BoR is not thrown away.
