FallingOsh 0 #27 January 15, 2009 QuoteWant to put some money on how many wars Obama gets us into??? What would that prove? You think he will (or should) cower away from any such situation? EDITED: WTF does that have to do with his inaguration expenditures, anyway? It's ok for the waste of money because you don't think he'll go to war? The country is at war now and the economy is a complete mess. Yet you think it's ok for him to spend 100M because in the future (in your opinion) he probably won't take us into another war. It's either a waste of money or it's not. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fasted3 0 #30 January 16, 2009 As you pointed out, there was not much to celebrate on either of the Bush 'victories.' Any money spent on the last party would have been better spent on protecting the soldiers fighting the war he started. The situation is much different this time around. We have a clear winner, and like it or not, have to hope he does a good job and get behind him. In a way I would like to see a grand gesture of govt. economy by Obama, but this is not the time for it. A lot of our economic problems are due to a lack of confidence rather than a lack of money. Projecting an image of America that can't afford to launch this guy properly is hardly a way to generate confidence, Maybe a good show here will help turn things around. OTOH, I would like to see him pick up the abandoned quest to cut waste and BS from govt. He seems like a smart guy so far. Maybe he will be a good president. We are overdue for one I'd say.But what do I know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #31 January 16, 2009 Quote Your type cheer when Obama spends 100m, but bitched about Bush spending 50m. And the only reason is the political party. Obama has been soliciting donations from individuals specifically for inauguration costs, and not accepting PAC offers. In my opinion, all monies so acquired should be spent on the task for which they were donated. Bleus, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

frequentfaller 0 #37 January 16, 2009 its hilarious, that people think the republicans went to war to get "oil money" for their buddies. the war definetly cost too much in lives and money, but all wars do. he also wasted a bunch of money in africa, but nobody in the press ever wants to write about it. When President Bush came to power in 2001, the US spent $1.4bn a year on humanitarian and development aid in Africa. By 2006, the figure had quadrupled to $5.6bn a year. And it is likely to get bigger. The centrepiece of Mr Bush's aid to Africa is the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar), a five-year, $15bn Aids prevention and treatment programme launched in 2003. His most recent budget proposes doubling the funding to $30bn over the next five years. it has helped to fund anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs for 1.3 million people across the continent. Before, the US funded ARV treatment for just 50,000 people.Born ok 1st time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they blow that in a day in Iraq How many billions did it cost to kill each Iraqi??? Ask yourself this..
