Okay, Bush spent 40 million on his, and was absolutely gangbanged by all of the democrats saying this was ridiculous. Obama is spending 150 million and no one says a word? Economic crisis and he's throwing money away?
What do you think..

I allso rember them going apeshit over the ammount of money Bush spent in the election... This time the shoe is one the other foot tho So like normal they dont care... To be fair Rolls reversed it woulda been the same. Cept the media wouldenta been standing back.

The democrats didn't care about Obama spending autrocious amounts of money with his campaign, so why would they be against his inauguration. Most of those democrats only put a D next to thier name for the votes. Most of them have no idea what they are doing.
Linkey...
Sorry had to be said ;p
Haveing good family dosent make you ready...

That answer the OP's question?
edit: Theirs more on google it seems if that one isn't detailed enough
The inauguration is privately funded. I care not about that. What irks me is the amount they spent on security detail. That is absolutely ridiculous.
I just think its dumb that people think obama is so great. He hasnt done anything yet because he hasnt officially got in office.
that is exactly what irks me too. Everyone who voted for obama at my work are all excited and what not like he's saved america from a giant asteroid or something. I say lets wait and see how he does in office before we start getting excited.

I agree.
It makes much more sense to dislike him and distrust him before he takes office than to have faith in him or respect him.
wow you sure took our posts and turned them around to the exact opposite. I dont see a point in this post either, usually somebody can work one in, but you managed not to. Congrats.

Big mistake for him imo. Terribal way to officially introduce himself to the country as our new leader. Especially with the world markets the way they are.
Then again maybe he wants to show everyone that the economy isn't all that bad and its time for us to spend... idk
**grammar :P
I don't particularly like the spending myself, but if that last actually was the goal, he's right.
The thing the US economy needs most right now are people willing to shake the crap off and invest in something they need. What is really ironic is that anyone who does so sooner rather than later is in a great position to make a great deal of money.

See, his campaign crap. CHANGE. that is the most vague thing in the world. I didnt really look into his plans that much, but what is he planning to do? Lower taxes for the middle class and national health care and keep prices down? How the hell is that gonna work?
And 8/10 democrats ive talked to give me the same answer when i ask them, Why did you vote for Obama.? They all said, because i dont like sarah pallin. I said, alright thats cool, i honestly dont give a flying fuck if you dont like her. Why did you vote for obama. Sarah Palin is dumb. Name 3 things you like about Obama. He likes change. He, uhm, i mean sarah pallin cant talk.
And i'm serious, this is what they all said. Yay.
Me talking
Them talking
The change zombies are starting to wake up at this point...what with the whole criminal being appointed to secretary of treasury deal...I don't even care about the illegal immigrant, how the hell can a guy be appointed to secretary of treasury when he owes more than 40 grand in back taxes?
And don't even say that it's unrelated, because it is, it's just another example of how Obama is not about change, he is about keeping the status quo while making people believe that they are getting something different. He's nothing more than a media darling with enough charisma to make IDIOTS think he's a good guy, that's right, I think you have to be an idiot.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

The fact is, Sarah Palin was a Godsend for Dems in general. It wouldn't have mattered who they threw in the captains' chair.
I really don't know what problem people have about Sarah Palin. She was trashed so badly in the elections but is really a great example of accomplishment. Maybe they are jealous or something. They said she has a lack of experience despite Obama having less experience. In the time she has been Governor, Alaska has grown in economical standings; she is the governor of one of the only states with a budget surplus; she rooted out corruption; and before the election she was the most popular governor in the US. I wish I could say that about myself because thats a mighty task of righteous things accomplished in only 2 years.
To me actions speak louder then words, and Palin has alot of action behind her. Yet people keep calling her an idiot who seeks the spotlight. Those trash talkers act like an Ivy League education makes you important, more important than your accomplishments. Its a little disgusting.
i loveeee youuuu. They act like Obama is like the second coming.
EDIT: ooh and grr what makes me really mad is how people blame bush for EVERYTHING. and i mean everything.. Okay, i know he wasnt the greatest president in the world, but atleast he didnt sleep with his secretary
You people worry 2 much. Seriously....relax, this all ends in Dec 2012. So what is the big deal?
Thats the job of a leader, to take charge of "everything". If rocks from outer space began pelting the mid west it would ultimately be the presidents fault for not having a plan to deal with them. No president is "sweet talked" for long while in office. It's part of the job, when it pays the media more to start bashing Obama than to raise him up on a pedestal then you'll see 24/7 coverage of all the "evils" he commits.

Presidents are like the Batman...they must do what they need to do...whether the are precieved as being evil deeds or not. No president is perfect and some are down right bad presidents...but the US is still here...and it will be here for at least 4 more years. ^_^

alright well when something bad happens, whatever it is.. i will bash obama for it, terribblyyyy. because thats what your telling me to do noww
and i am so pumped to see when obama gets yelled at forr everything . oh gonna be great
Obama didn't list "I can see Russia from Alaska" as foreign relations experience.
I didn't want Obama either. But I'd have taken Kermit the Frog over Sarah Palin.

okay she said one dumb thing.. sorry shes not perfect. I bet you dont have the stomach to go up infront of the whole damn nation and give a speech.

Actually, I bet i do. I've given more than my fair share of presentations. Talking in front of a bunch of people is not hard, as long as you manage to keep your braincells firing. Palin had so many misfires she should see a neurosurgeon.
And she only said one dumb thing?
Do you realize why the Tina Fey impersonations and sketches were so hilarious? Because Tina used the exact same words and speeches that Palin gave. She didn't have to add material to make Palin a joke.
If what you said is true how do you exaplin for example how Obama didnt know how many states were in the US?
I mean Obama and Biden said way more (in actual quantity) of idiotic things in their speeches. Yet you only remember what she did / said. Doesnt seem like your playing fair as you say.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
