I could care less about how much this inauguration is going to cost.

The Obama presidency is going to cost us dearly. It used to be that Bush was made fun of for 200billion and 300billion dollar deficit spending. But, Obama proposes 1 trillion and that is SPENDING our way out of a recession.

F*CK that. PERMANENT AND DEEP ACROSS THE BOARD TAX CUTS NOW. Is the solution. But how blind the liberals and the congress and the media are in this country. Instead of cutting back, like corporations and families are doing now, they are EXPANDING.

WHAT KIND OF FOOL EXPANDS POWER AND GOVERNMENT WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS CUTTING BACK?

America will become one giant trailer park & we will all be trailer trash when the one is done. The Obamaugration feels more like a funeral. RIP America – it was great while it lasted!

The Obamas and the leftists are blowing through money like Trailer Trash who just won the lottery.

I think that’s a pretty apt description.

Au Contraire! This IS the reward that our DriveBy Media is expecting! Socialism is their goal!

Throngs of young people walking down the street shouting “Obama!” Part of me wants to be happy for them. It is nice to see young people enthusiastic about something, but can you imagine how hurt they will be when they realize this is all hype and false hope? Even if Obama were to do an OK job, there is no way he can live up to the Left’s hopes. What will happen when the hopes of these people are crushed upon the rocks of reality?

Another Obama fanatic just gave me a CD of music (illegally) copied from famous musicians. On one side is the quote, “Rosa sat, so Martin could walk. Martin walked, so Obama could run. Obama is running so our children can fly.” (Just typing that hurts my fingers. Blech!)

On the other side is this quote (it is long, but well worth reading if you can avoid losing your lunch. It illustrates the fantasy world in which many of these people live):

“It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed our way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair the world. Yes we can. We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We want change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant…We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America, that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea: Yes We Can.” (emphasis mine)

Beautiful words, I suppose. I cannot help but wonder, however, if people would feel the same if McCain won. Hey Mr. Lefty, are we still one people if a Republican wins?

The concert was supposed to be part of “the people’s party,” said Shawn Paterniti, who had come with his wife Mia from Columbia, Md., to see the show. “But still, you have the VIPs who want their front-row seats. So I guess they get their tickets no one knows about,” he said, as he and his wife headed to join the “general population,” far away from the performances.

“It seems odd to have a VIP section for a concert about unity,” quipped the local blog DCist.com. The blogger, Kriston Capps, suggested a new name for the event: “We Are One, but Some Are More One Than Others.”

MMMMMMMMM! Delicious :)

I think this is going to be the most magical 4 years of my life. Obama is going to fly across the country, sorta like superman, and cure cancer, beat up evil corporate fat cats, make all the fat people go away, and power the whole country on his sense of self satisfaction. Its gonna be magical!

Anyone else up for making their own country? Maybe a chunk of Canada? Or Russia? Not like they can defend themselves anyway and Siberia is HUGE.

***Blech!******

And now a $150K inauguration.

Of course, all the left can do is scream about Gov. Palin (who’s back to shopping @ Target) and this “gift” of china from Laura Bush to the Obamas – whatever the heck that is? Someone enlighten me as to exactly what this crap is about.

[rage]
“But Bush could’ve spent that 42k on the poor!!!!”
[/rage]

Ok. I’m done now.

Ryan Gandy on January 19, 2009 at 3:06 PM

I think we’d all be happy if it were only $150K. : )

We’ll all be paying for this celebration of democracy.

What celebration of democracy?

This is a celebration of Obama.

The two have little in common.

Most expensive inauguration in history, and I’m also counting future history, at least for the next 40 odd years. Here’s some whining about the cost: A grandmother of four sent the White House a tongue-in-cheek invitation to hold the inauguration……

And to think this guy supposedly has any grasp on what’s going on right now.

$80K ring for his wife made out of an incredibly rare type of gold. The presidential limo crap, however much that cost. And now a $150K inauguration.

Of course, all the left can do is scream about Gov. Palin (who’s back to shopping @ Target) and this “gift” of china from Laura Bush to the Obamas – whatever the heck that is? Someone enlighten me as to exactly what this crap is about.

Ok. I’m done now.

And exactly who is surprised by any of this?

stonemeister on January 19, 2009 at 12:35 PM

Why, liberals of course!

IrishEi on January 19, 2009 at 1:00 PM

Uh-uh. Won’t happen. Can’t be surprised by something if you can’t see it; and, as the saying goes, “there is none so blind as he who will not see.”

Besides, with Bush you were just paying for a cheater President. With Obama you get a Messiah!! 170 Mil? A BARGAIN!!!

I cannot wait for the communal orgasm to end.

DCGamer on January 19, 2009 at 1:51 PM
