Obama Inauguration Tops $150 Million
// January 15th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // ECONOMY
When 42 million was spent on Bush’s inauguration the media went ballistic. They were outraged by the “waste” of government funds. Surly the media will take Obama to task as the cost of his inauguration is expected to exceed 150 million, making it the most expensive inauguration in American history. Surly Obama will not allow this waste of taxpayers money to occur in this economic crisis in which we are all waiting for him to save us from. Surly I’m wrong on both accounts. The media has said nothing about the 150 million other than excusing the expenditures because of the historic importance of the event. Obama has said nothing of the waste either. So much for change you can believe in.
Imagine what can be done with $150 million. How many people could we keep in their homes? How many mouths could we feed? As many Americans lose their jobs, Obama and his media groupies are prepared to throw away $150 million.
There is no excuse for this kind of irresponsible waste of money. I lose more respect for Obama with each passing day.
