In 2005, everybody, the media, the Left, you, me, everybody, was up in arms about the cost of GW's second inauguration. That was $40 million. Barack America's inauguration will cost $100 million dollars, or about the same amount of money Dr. Evil would demand to keep the world from getting blown up. Adjusting for inflation, that's about a $60 million increase in 2005 dollars.
No one seems to care. People thought it was cruel for Bush to be extravagant when soldiers were dying overseas, and the economy was bad, and mom's couldn't find enough change under the seat to put gas in the Escalade. Now, GW has had to declare a state of emergency in DC to free up the funds to pay for Barack America's party.
And no one seems to care. We are bowing down to that most basic tribal need to have someone grand in charge and we're willing to give up what used to be our national identity to achieve it.
I am just amazed that no one seems to care. We are throwing good money after bad, non-existent money after bad, we can't build, sell, buy, defend or protect a thing but we're all willing to ignore a $60 million increase for a party for a the new President - a president who can't name a Cabinet member without some sort of controversy. A president who is clearly clueless about what this country needs from him.
America, I hope you enjoy your $100 million coronation for Barack America, because the future is going to come back and make you pay for it in more ways than one.
