Hey, America Feels Kinda Cool Again? WTF ?? Based on what, exactly ? Double digit unemployment ? Trillion $$ deficits ? Pardon me while I don't join in on the party.

I truly fear for my country.

Does that include the millions of dollars DC will be making on this shindig? It's not just vaporizing. It also points to how excited some people are by this event - it's a good thing in these dire economic times.

The cost then? $40 Million, and change. With Obama's Inauguration, and the economy in much worse condition,the total for this party, historic as it is, will be 4 x's what was spent for Bush's Inauguration.

Yes , when the Roman Empire was failing , they were also big into the irrational feel-good vibe...Many were
'excited' by their times , and considered it 'a good thing'...

Aside from all the rampant fornicating , they also had what the Emperors called 'bread and circuses'...

Yep , this is going to go real well...

By your own rationale, shouldn't those who DIDN'T think it was outlandish then shut the f**k up about it now?

My point was that there were folks who were so quick to vilify Bush for his party ( 40 million ) who are mute over Obama's ( 150+ million ) I don't know the break down of Fed $$ vs Private, but it doen't really matter, now does it ? I mean, if folks were gonna bitch about the homeless and the hungry with Bush's 40 million $$ party, they should be bitching 4x's as much over Obama's 150 million party. Right ?

...As for me, when Jan 20 comes around and Maximus Obamicus is sworn in, I know that I will be hip deep in depravity and the eating of yeast products.

Sorry there ain't something better like a Bud Light convention. There are in fact "Black People" - with money - that want to spend that money to see their man become Prez. Are you really that out of touch?
