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.

Pastor Rick Warren To Give Invocation At Obama Inauguration

// December 18th, 2008 // 2 Comments » // POLITICAL ARENA

The liberal community was dismayed to find out that Pastor Rick Warren, who hosted the Saddleback Forum during the election, would be giving the invocation at Obama’s election. Pastor Rick Warren supported Prop 8 in California, Is Pro-life and perhaps his greatest reason for hatred from the left, he believes in God.

Relax liberals. This is an obvious strategic move by Obama, who’s goal is to gain evangelical support for the democrats in the coming years. If Obama had his choice I’m sure he would pick his former pastor of over 20 years Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

I think most evangelicals will see through this ploy by Obama. The evangelicals in America have strong values that Obama does not share, namely the right to life.

As a Christian I hope Pastor Warren does not put this occasion and president-elect before God. My hope is that he reminds the nation as well as Obama that this country was founded on Biblical principals. This has always been a Christian nation. This country has turned it’s back on God. We’ve kicked Him out of our schools and public square all together. We have elevated the selfish lifestyle of homosexuality over the laws of nature. We continue to murder millions of innocent children every year and justify it as a women’s right. I hope Pastor Warren reminds Christians that they are not second class citizens and it’s okay to take a stand.
