So far, the cost of Obama's inauguration is up to ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS!

Where's the outrage from the Liberals? Remember when Bush's inauguration cost 90 million? Hell, every liberal in the country shit their pants ... Keith Olbermann shit his twice.

Just think what $170,000,000 would do. Why, we could feed the homeless, pay for the starving children's medical care and buy more pink ribbons to decorate "churches" for Gay marriages!

What say you "Progressives?" Are you just going to sit still for this travesty? Are you going to stomp your feet and cry like pussies like you did when Bush was sworn in?

I suspect you will do nothing and say nothing ... just like the hypocrites you are.

Vi, The Price tag for any inauguration is always astronomical, As I recall GW Bush's price tag was somewhere around that figure.
You just can not stand the fact that the Political Pendulum has swung the other way.
The Republicans lived a life of excess over the past 8 years and then now they want to point fingers. When one points fingers, that person has to remember that there are 3 fingers pointing back at that person.

The (so-called) Conservative had their chance, they got drunk with the headiness of power and blew it. Now it is time for the old guard to step out of the way and let a new day dawn.

One thing I noticed when John McCain lost the election to Obama was the contrast of the people at Each event.
The people at McCain's concession speech were aged and angry, where as the people at Obama's victory Speech were young and optimistic.
This is a simple handing over of the torch from the old to the young.
No party is Anti-American, No set of political ideals are better than the other.

Bitterness will get you nowhere in life Vi, Move forward, no sour grapes.

Its interesting that one of Obamas themes to his speech was for America to quit the petty partisan bickering. Vi the young people of this nation have spoken, we are are moving on with or without you.

You should take her advice Vi.

that is absurd, "It's always astronomical" doesn't wash. The money could be better spent elsewhere

that's way too much. The money could be better spent elsewhere

same shit different box
I haven't heard much from Obama plan wise except for the health care policy he wants. It will be paid for by money we don't have which means we'll have to print more up, which means the dollar will devalue. Thanks for looking out for me Federal Government. Like I said, same shit different box

I was bitter and angry when it came down to a choice between the failed policies of McCain and the failed policies of Obama.

I disagree. The Congressmen who supported the Patriot Act are UnAmerican. Un American, Anti American potato potahto
The political ideals espoused by the main stream Republicans and Democrats do not represent the people. The overwhelming support for no bailout was ignored. How soon we forget.

What do I have to look forward towards? A short term fix that benefits the segment of the population I happen to fall into but will have bad long term consequences? Oh happy day.

170 million in itself is an inflated number. The actual number is more like $45 mil, which is about the same as Bush's and Clinton's inaugeration.

Nothing has changed. Nothing will change.

Theyre all just politicians. No one politician is better than the other. Theyre all liars, scam artists, and cheaters.

As the Conservatives accused the Liberals of feelings of entitlement back when they lost both houses in 1994, the conservatives are acting just as the liberals did.

Please tell me, what great things have the Republicans done in the recent past? tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, ..... BUZZ!!!!!, not a god damned thing.

You talk about short term fixes and long term consequences, Ronald Regan did Deregulation, short term it was good, long term it put us in the mess we are now in.

That is an awful lot of money to be spent for a celebration. The money could have been better spent elsewhere. However if Obama didn't come in with a bang then people like Vi would accuse him of trying to quietly slink into the white house.

It doesn't matter, damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I want him to address the number one issue from change.org and change.gov, decriminaliation and legalization.
