Does Inauguration Day mean anything to you?

Random headline I saw today: "Obama's promises may be hampered by deficits."

No kidding.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

So, in these "tough economic times" exactly how much money is being blown on this stupid celebration?

That would be awesome if they preceded the closing of Guantanamo by executing all of the prisoners.

That happened to our governor in MA, he can't spend spend spend like he wanted to because there's no money.

I'm super stoked to see Obama taking over but I do think there will be alot of disappointed people when his "Messiah" status wears off.

Approximately $73 after you subtract all of the taxpayer money.

Theyre having a thing in the auditorium here for it that I plan to avoid

I saw on the new this week it cost like 10 times the most expensive Inauguration yet.

They are paying for it with EBT cards.

 

[Sarcasmo]

Some of the cost can't really be avoided though, unless you want to hold the ceremony in a bunker. The first black president needs a ton of security personnel. Or "posse" as they call it on Capitol Hill.

I hope nobody sets off a small atom bomb. That would seriously impact my evening commute.

More importantly Chikken, how much tax payers money is spent on useless fireworks?

I'm so bringing you over to my side.

I'm afraid that I'd fall asleep and snore and be lynched. The cleaning lady had tears in her eyes as she reminded us of it this morning.

Technically fireworks aren't useless since they do exactly what they are intended to.

I hope after he is sworn in he immediately starts talking all thug and tells everyone he was just faking before.

Yes, but I recently read somewhere that fireworks are the single most wasteful thing on Earth. Worse than Hitler.

This makes me angry. Not because she feels strongly, but because let's face it: her life isn't going to change. Someone has sold her a bridge knowing full well how budgets and politics work in this country. She and the rest of her ilk have been victimized by a campagin slogan.

How was your morning commute?
