Unemployment is up.
The economy is in the crapper.
We just gave the banks 750 billion taxpayer dollars we'll never see again.
Let's party!
Four years ago America was at war, democratic lawmakers reminded President George W. Bush. He was asked to keep his innaugural events short and sweet, and most of all, cheap.
In their letter, Reps. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and Jim McDermott, D-Wash. gave the president a little history lesson. "President Roosevelt held his 1945 inaugural at the White House, making a short speech and serving guests cold chicken salad and plain pound cake. During World War I, President Wilson did not have any parties at his 1917 inaugural, saying that such festivities would be undignified."
Not so with President Select Obama. He and his staff have concocted parties and balls and dinners, and rock concerts to the tune of 150 million dollars.
Obama's inauguration committee says it is mindful of the times and is not worried people will see the four days of festivities as excessive.
They are not celebrating his election so much as celebrating our "common values", they said. There are no common values here. I don't think there are any values, period.
150 million is not excessive?
What would be excessive then Mr. Obama? 300 million? 5oo million?
These elites don't get it.
And they won't until it's too late.
Pray for the country.
UPDATE: In 2005, George W. Bush's inaugural festivities cost 42.3 million. And Obama is spending 150 million.
After all, he is the Messiah.
