You would think the idiots would cut back on spending for Obamas inauguration... but of course he want. He's not a president he's a rock star [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

"Even though we're very practiced at inaugurations and large events, this is one that will rewrite the book on inaugurations," said Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-Washington, D.C., who has requested an additional $15 million from Congress to help the city cover costs. That would double the $15 million Congress has already allocated to pay for all national events and demonstrations in Washington during 2009.

the big deal is that he spent all summer preaching about how americans need to cut back on this and that......yet......he doesnt follow his own advice

the way he was talking you should have expected a party to consist of a battery powered radio so he wouldnt use too much electricity with everybody getting there on foot of by huffy to conserve oil and of course eating grass clippings and others table scraps to conserve food

Could have swore that was Mccain who told everyone to cut back on their vacations and get a second job while they were at it - It was pretty hypocritical from him with the 8 homes and 13 cars . And for the rest of that paragraph, I have no idea what you are talking about. Everyone knew this inauguration was going to be massive, still don't see the big deal.

why should this be any more massive then any before it?

the clown thinks hes a [censored] celebrity and not a politician

Its not like he's asking for 15 mil worth of "Yes, We Did" banners. The money is needed because of the massive amount of people thats going to be flood in, with that, you need things like More buses, more emergency medical service workers, more police officers, more hotel rooms needed etc.
Did you get that?
